  7. what's the proper way to shift?

    genrally ill put teh clutch in rev it to the proper rpm range for that gear and put it in that gear. i dont see that it could do alot of damage to the clutch if you match up the rpms the clutch isnt rubbing to get the engine upto speed with the transmittion. It may be bad for the clutch but its...

  11. So much for praising G-force KDWS...

  12. Slowest DSM EVER!!!

    you be better off buying a turbo talon cause i believe that the nt uses the 420a but i could be mistaked and theres alot more work then buying a mani and a turbo and bolting it on. my advice check your ATF and see if it smells burnt or is discoloured then you can see if it is the transmisttion...

    4x4 is no gaurntee that youll get through snow better then a fwd or rwd car it just means you have a better chance. Living in tahoe and watching tourists pass up my semi has shown me that 4x4 is great and all and it will get your started but stopping becomes a bit problmatic :p

    ehh i'm not 10% sure, but distilled water does not conduct electricity.....halikdistilled water will still conduct electricty because it will absorb some of the metal particals and that sort in the system. Also im not completly sure on this but i believe in the ionization process of...
  37. Ggrraaahhh

    also check the play on your clutch pedal. is it engaugeing near the end of the stroke on the pedal. If so adjust it so it engauges near the middle of the stroke. also try bleading the clutch system.If its not that syncros are going dead and tranny rebuild is in your near future

  40. 3rd gear grinding?

    genrally when synchros go out its new transmittion time or rebuild time. And from your problem it seems that your syncros shot. I opted for a new tranny when my dodge truck synchro went out. So price a new transmittion and labor to install it if your not going to do it yourself.
  41. Question on engine type

    aright here we go i bought a 1991 eagle talon fwd with the 2.0L dohc engine. The guy had to install a new engine after his daughter threw a rod in the old engine. Now the guy said it was a turbo engine he just didnt get a turbo included with the engine. And looking at a Engine guide with...
