I bought a car that has 2 transmissions, one has a welded c/d, the other does not. I don't know which is which. Any way to identify while off the car?97 awd transmissions.

I'm new to the world of auto dsm's. When i start the car in the morning, ~35deg F outside, I shift into drive and the car just sits there. I put it back in park and wait for about a minute and it will shift into gear and drive just fine. I checked the fluid after driving for 10 minutes and it...

I purchased stock pistons, 20 over and had my machinist bore out the block... I haven't put it back together but am thinking about using forged pistons instead. Can I buy 20 over forged pistons and be ok, or should the new pistons be 30 over and have the block bored again to match the new pisotons?

so i bought some pistons for a stock rebuild from dsmgraveyard, .020 over. They finally got here and i am holding pistons that are 85.0mm and rings that are 85.5 that fit on the 85.0 piston. I was expecting 85.5 pistons and matching rings, not 85mm pistons and over-sized rings. NPR Piston Set...

About to do a build, I'm going with a 2.4, forged crank, manley i-beam rods and 1400 HD pistons. I'll be using a FP DSM86 turbo so i'd like the 2.4 to help with spool times. Because of the 2.4L, I'm not going to set the rev limiter beyond about 8K. I'd like to use 280/280 cams, but i'm...

ive got a 95 tsi, im about to do a full motor build with a forced performance DSM86 turbo. I am having maperformance build the bottom end. Question is, should i go with a 2.4 or 2.0? I have all of the supporting mods already... i'm leaning toward the 2.4 due to better spool times as I think i...

started up the car, drove about 100 yards down the street, maybe 2-3 lbs of boost.. not in the throttle at all. and as the rpm's rise there is a loud whine that gets louder as the rmps rise. Then it felt like 1 cylinder gave completely out and ran extremely rough. The car died. when i started...

i remember finding the ICS for about $130 a while ago.. anyone know what the part number is for it and the cheapest place to order one?1990-1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse Idle Control Valve - Standard AC146found this with a review from a GST owner at the bottom of the page.. It's the cheapest...

Not sure if this is normal, however.. everything is installed properly and functioning correctly. It just squeals during engagement, almost sounds like when your alt belt is loose. Will that go away as I break it in?

so i did a little searching but couldn't find an answer. I need to shim the pivot ball but i don't want to pull the transmission just to do it. I pulled the rubber boot by the slave and popped the fork off the ball, it has about 1/8" to go before id be able to move it off the ball completely...

So i did a lot of searching and found a lot of information on this clutch. There were a few posts regarding the metal of the disks stripping around the splines of the input shaft and falling apart. There was some discussion about this weakness being replaced by a stronger metal. all of this was...

I cant seem to find a new clutchmasters 6-puck unsprung disc anywhere.. all i need is the disc. So, can i use an ACT disc with a pressure plate from a clutchmasters fx400? or does anyone know where i could get the one im looking for? Thanks

so i searched, couldnt find the answer i was looking for. I know shaft play is caused by bearing wear, ive taken apart and rebuilt a turbo before.my question is, what is the cause for in/out shaft play? I had a brand new forced performance 18g journal bearing turbo, and iv developed enough...

The alternator outputs about 12.5 volts when the car is running. The alternator and battery are new, less than a week old... the old alternator and battery had the EXACT same symptoms.If the car sits for a while it regains enough juice to start just fine. if i try to start it right after...
