    So what are you working on that’s NOT your DSM?

    I miss playing with 2-strokes.I'd buy another Banshee (I've had about 6 of them over the years), but the market on 2-strokes is getting obscene.My younger brother bought an RZ350 a couple of months back to restore/set up as another track bike which has made me jealous a little.

    2G Bell housing throw out bearing?

    Another update to this--someone stated that these wear "due to the metal inner sleeve of the OEM throw out bearing wearing it". This is also not correct.The OEM throw out bearing has a resin sleeve, whereas a lot of aftermarket bearings use a metal inner race that WILL cause this problem...

    Bi directional vs 45 degree synchro teeth

    The angle cut gears were only *originally* in the 1996 through 1999 cars when they rolled off the production floor.That being said, the angle cut 2nd gear has been the "go-to" 2nd gear since the late 90's during rebuilds. Also, as Mitsubishi updated parts, a new, replacement transmission for...

    So what are you working on that’s NOT your DSM?

    It's the thickness of my fingers and hands. I'm learning that I have to fret some chords using one finger for two strings, especially at the higher frets, or else I'm muting other strings, even though I'm almost on my nails. I bought a 60's Standard thinking it would have been better with the...

    U-joints (DSM vs. Evo3 vs. Aftermarket)

    The website is circa 2019-2020.I don't have an email from anyone asking about a lobro kit. What address did you send it to? [email protected]?We were without power/internet last week from Tuesday's storm, until Friday afternoon, but I was still monitoring emails via my phone, and was...

    So what are you working on that’s NOT your DSM?

    I needed to get away from work (DSMs), cars (Mostly DSMs and Mitsus), and working on the house/buildings, and decided to learn guitars, two weeks ago.Picked up a Les Paul.Wife started wanting me to teach her a few things. She played with the LP, and while she liked it, it was obviously not...

    Bi directional vs 45 degree synchro teeth

    What you have there are two, 2G, 2nd gears. The standard cut gears are off of a 1995 car, and the angle cut gear is off of a 96-99 car. Both will accept the standard, 2G dual-cone synchro (MD745896). Both are pretty beat in the pictures.I've always used the angle cut gears in builds over...

    Mitsubishi ASA (parts lookup)

    I've used the Mitsubishilinks.com download on secondary computers that I don't have a Mitsu dongle for, since around 2006 now. Goes up to 2008 models.I have it running on a box that I just built, running Win11, before I migrate the official version over.

    How to get your radio code in 2023

    This used to be an easily accomplished thing, but Mitsubishi has recently revamped their Dealer Link website, and I'm not sure that the radio code lookup is still active. The Vehicle Superscreen page is, which is why I suggested that route, but it won't work if it's not the original radio...

    Ha! I was just coming down to the office to email you, Chad!Don't forget the second to last GVR-4 upper thermostat housing! ;-)It was nice putting a face to a name, I wish it wasn't raining and we were able to shoot the breeze more.Thanks again!

    How to get your radio code in 2023

    If the radio is the original unit, you can also visit your local dealer with the VIN, and ask them to run a Superscreen in the dealer portal. This will include the info on your car (selling dealer, in service date, etc., including the radio code).

    1G 1990 W5M33 bearing replacement

    On another note, the solder method has been something I've only done once or three times over the years to confirm results. It kinda sucks in general, and Mitsu's transmission shimming from the factory showed that over the years. There are other ways...and *MUCH* cheaper than this, as I've...

    Bigger stronger w5m33 gears?

    Wow.I've seen Kurt be "abrasive and direct", but haven't seen him really be a "dick" about things. Yes, he and Bobby seem to rub each other the wrong way, and I've seen merits on both sides....AND, I like both. I've spoken to both of them at length over the years, and don't find issue...

    1G 1990 W5M33 bearing replacement

    What you're looking at has no bearing on "real-world".Even the picture seems to show it. The input shaft looks "somewhat" straight. The forks look similiar....The intermediate shaft looks to be leaning towards the left of the picture, which would lean (pun intended) towards this photo...

    Errr....You need to email me on that one, but I just may have something for you. :-D
