Well the story start with an act cluch kit, I was getting out of my drive in by going into reverse and firts to get it out by not scraping the drive in cause its low. Well by doing these I was in revers when I hear and grrrrr, then I wanted to gear first and would not go into gear so I turn it off to check if it will go into gear, it when into every single gear. So I turn the car and no into any gear, turn it off and put it into firts and it made an grinding noise, by going forward, then the noise changes to some metal loose inside. So I turn the car off and look under and found an finger from the pp. after that no more sounds, and it will shift smooth like it was before.

1 what could cause to brake with no sight could it not have play on top of the pedal, bad adjustment?
2 it's my dd so can I drive it normal? ]]> Newbie Forum danieltovar http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/464215-questions-i-bad-pressure-plate-fingers.html 95-99 eclipse talon turbo manifold oem dsm 4g63 t25 - DSM eBay Auction http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/dsm-stuff-ebay/464214-95-99-eclipse-talon-turbo-manifold-oem-dsm-4g63-t25-dsm-ebay-auction.html Fri, 24 May 2013 06:30:04 GMT

Got everything dropped back in the car, hooked up linkage, and I double checked the gears by running through them, however it only goes into 3, 4, 5, and R while doing it in the car.

If you go in the bay, and disconnect the up & down linkage, the tranny will shift into those gears. The position the stick is in the car is also off.
It's too far up to the front of the car.

When I have a bud hold the shifter in neutral inbetween 3rd, and 4th, I put the shifter on the tranny at the same place, but the linkage is way far off. Like its too long.

Is it possible cause its not hooked up at the slave yet?
The tranny has had 0 issues ever. Didn't mess with the linkage at all. Took the 2 12mm mount bolts off the tranny to disconnect it.

Any input would be sweet. Thanks. ]]> Drivetrain Tech slickers111 http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/drivetrain-tech/464208-no-1st-2nd-car-but-theyre-there-tranny.html No Start. ASD Relay http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/464207-no-start-asd-relay.html Fri, 24 May 2013 02:53:48 GMT Alright, so lately my car was giving me a lot of issues. It would randomly stall while I was driving, and sometimes would not start back up. To make a long story short, 2 days ago the car died in the parking lot of a grocery store. The engine would crank but it wouldn't start. I got it towed to my local repair shop, and they diagnosed it as a bad ASD relay and replaced it. I got it back today, and it drove better than the day I got it. I went to work tonight, and while I was working my shift it rained really hard. I went out to start the car, and it wouldn't work again. Could my brand new ASD have just gone bad? I really think this has something to do with water, because it seems to give me issues when it is raining out. ]]> Newbie Forum ata14 http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/464207-no-start-asd-relay.html 2G Rebuilding head today timing marks look off?? http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/464206-rebuilding-head-today-timing-marks-look-off.html Fri, 24 May 2013 02:51:44 GMT Just looks a bit off to me, I know the lines/marks have to be level with each other, I'm just not 100% sure this being my first OHC rebuild I'm just trying to make sure everything is going to work :pray:

The wires are red green yellow white black. Red is constant power from the white wire in the harness. Yellow and green are the Ign wires from the timer and are tied together, I need to know if these would be the wires to tap to have the lc1 shutoff with the timer. Help would be amazing and my multi meter sucks :pray:

Hi. I thought I would like to share. Needed replacement piping and banjo bolts, and figured I should share what I used.

These are parts off of a 2008 Chevy duramax 6.6 bus that we have. Used it as reference when I ordered new parts from general motors. I had to remove about a half an inch off the bottom of the banjo bolt and used a thread file. Screws right in and should function normally. Only have yet to bend the piping in the correct orientation for my coolant hose routing. ]]> Turbo System Tech Ryan4dc http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/turbo-system-tech/464204-turbo-coolant-banjo-14b.html FS: 1g fwd eibach sportline springs. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/norcal-region-dsm/464203-fs-1g-fwd-eibach-sportline-springs.html Fri, 24 May 2013 01:54:37 GMT $100obo.

I have a 500hp 1G 2.3L running on ethanol and I am not sure what happened but it just started running super rich (A/F is reading 9.5-10.0 at 3000 rpms) and even at idle it used to run at 16.0 (which is max for my wide band A/F gauge) but now will idle at 14.5 to 15. I have DSM Link version 2.5 and am not to sure where all the values is supposed to be at but since I haven't made any adjustment to it I am thinking its electrical or a setup issue. The only thing else I can tell you is when its cold (has not run in a day or so) it was rev up to about 1500 rpms and then just drop off to about 400 rpms and die or spit and sputter and surge to 2000 rpms and then drop off again. It will do this until its warm.

When I am looking at my dsm link while its running my 02 voltage stays at a steady .04 volts no matter what I car is doing.

When I bought the car last year it ran mint and the guy I bought it from had it tuned at BP performance in minneapolis. I would bring it back to them but they are 3 hours away and I don't have a trailer to get the car down there.

I have checked for leaks and am not to sure whats my next step.

Now when I press the clutch petal in, theres no where near as much resistance, and the clutch doesnt disengage till the petal is very close to the floor. What happened?

Im running a ACT 2600lb pressure plate, 6 puck spring disk, an Al flywheel, full stainless braided line, and oem master and slave cylinders.

I didnt see any fluid under the hood by the master or by the slave so i believe the seals are good. The master still bleeds back into the reservoir fine. Did I maybe snap part of the fork off in the bell housing? or kill the throw out bearing? Any advice would be awesome, just trying to avoide pulling the trans for something simple. ]]> Newbie Forum Funfettie http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/464197-bad-clutch-petal-throw-after-hard-shift-what-broke.html Where Do I Take My Measurements On A Compressor Wheel? http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/turbo-system-tech/464196-where-do-i-take-my-measurements-compressor-wheel.html Fri, 24 May 2013 00:14:54 GMT I'm trying to figure out the size of my compressor wheel on my Hx35, but where do I measure the wheel at because the top of the wheel is going to be the smallest and get larger as I measure down.
