    engaging transmission with the engine off

    The shifting is still in the H pattern like all 5-speeds in the USA lol. You can push the clutch pedal in and shift around through the gears as well without oil in the engine as the crank is still not rotating your completely ok doing that.

    Your most recent welding pics

    .030 wire my bad lol. I used MAP gas and a non-contact digital thermomiter to make sure I didnt heat it to much before welding then I used the powdercoating oven to controll the slow cool down :hellyeah:.I think I went a tad overkill on the transmission welding but I ended up with all 4...

    Horrible vibration. 4 bolt swap, and car has been sitting

    Was the t-case input splines ok as well as the output shaft of the transmission? They could of stripped and what your feeling is the slipping of the splines.

    Horrible vibration. 4 bolt swap, and car has been sitting

    Did you rebuild or take apart the driveshaft durring the swap? is it viberating under light throttle or only during a fast take off or WOT pull?

    I/D of 20g?

    A picture would be helpful but as for it to pull harder than a 16g could be factored by to many other things as well like timing, other supporting mods, tuning, ect. But if your just seeing if you indeed have a 20g wheel then a picture would be helpful.

    Front A arm urethane bushing

    Poly is great on control arms. Make sure you use the provided lube though or it will start to squeak. I daily my talon with a driveline full of nothing but poly and it feels allot better than old stock rubber bushings by far.The rear peg on the back of the control arms tend to rust away...

    Is this Gaskets reusable for turbo???

    I would not re-use any of them IMO. The composite gaskets for the turbos are JUNK. Get a felpro from the local auto parts store and then port out the stainless gaskets to match your specific needs. The gaskets are cheap in price and wont burn out if torqued properly. I bought mine for a 95...

    i have idea!!!!! will it work?!?!?!?

    I had to plumb the MAF to the TB on my 94 AWD to limp it home NT AWD style lol. Ran great to be honest.The reason I did it was because the turbine shaft on my freshly built turbo is bent and I needed to get my car home. HDR PVC piping and a few rubber pipe couplers and a rag stuffed in the...

    boost bog out at high rpms?

    Mine went deep past 20psi and bounced as it was bucking. I would get black smoke puff from the exhaust. Take the vac line from the wastegate and put it directly to a boos/vac source. You should be limited to around 10psi that way. Test a WOT pull and see if it goes over 15psi. If so then...

    boost boggs out at high RPM?

    Sounds like a bad wastegate actuator and the same issues my car was having. Do you have an aftermarket boost gauge to see what the PSI is reading when it bucks from hitting fuel cut? Pull the vac hose to the wastegate, spray some soap water on the diaphram end where the rod goes into the big...

    which computer do i need?

    If you look at your fire wall right above the break booster you should see the emissions and fuel pressure control solenoids. If I remember correctly there will be 3 solenoids there if it's a Cali emissions car and only 2 if its fed emissions.

    need help new to dsm

    Probably a leaking drain tube for the turbo. It's a very common problem. Buy a new set of gaskets and some black rtv with your next oil change supplies. Gaskets are really cheap for OEM ones.That's not what's causing your smoke out of the muffler. That's something internal unless its...

    Clutch advice and information

    The 420a's don't follow the same modding steps as the 4G63 with the 6-bolt or 7-bolt parts. They are a completely different engine all together.I do know that the 420a 5-speed transmissions are touchy to what gear oil you use. I would go to a Chrysler or Mitsu dealer and buy the proper...

    How To: Shifter cable and brackets: Diff. between 90-91 DSM & VR4 trans

    Hitting that pin out with the shift shaft in the trans will only damage the needle bearings that hold that shaft on center in the hole and possibly cause poor shifting. At least it did for me on my fwd 5-speed trans. Unless you can secure the shaft to where it don't try to mash sideways while...
