    Now worried about my short shifter...

    I had researched on how to install the Fidanza short shifter and got a pretty good idea of whats involved, but when I was researching I saw the 1g's have a problem with possibly overthrowing and breaking the shift forks, I could not find any info on this for the 2g's, is this or can this be a...

    Not sure if drivetrain or engine question

    Thanks for the input man, I hadnt even thought about getting the motor steady before so Im going to pick up a tranny jack and just use my hoist to hold the motor. As for using a stethascope (sorry about the speling) I was to chicken to get that close, the mechanic I took it to said it was...

    Not sure if drivetrain or engine question

    So I have pulled the motor 3 times, and rebuilt it 3 times, the last two there was a knock coming from the tranny side, and upon taking it to a shop and listening myself it seems to be coming from the bellhousing. I pulled the motor a 4th time and replaced the clutch and throw out bearing, and...

    Audio System

    Oh, sorry my mistake, I had not researched the material assuming that was the deadening material, on my underbody its like the spray foam you can get a home depot (not exactly but has the same consistancy and color), maybe the guy who had it before me put it on there, sorry bout the mix up on...

    Will I blow my motor??

    I searched and couldnt find anything using these kind of pistons, I got a 420A block with high compression (10.5:1) wiesco NOS pistons, eagle H-Beam rods, if I put a small turbo on there and keep it to a small amount of boost will it just be a bad day or would that work fine?

    Audio System

    Oh sorry and you don't nessecarily need a new box, the box id designed for your subs not the area it sits in. If you do decide to go non-ported you will possibly lose bass because the sub has a limited amount of air. I would keep the box the way it is dynamat the area and then see where you stand.

    Audio System

    2gs sound great because they have a layer of sound deadening material sprayed on the exterior of the car from the factory to reduce road noise, if you look on the undercarriage thats why it looks kind of like white mud or plaster is piled up on most of the under body. Im not sure if any of the...

    Yeah, Im almost done pulling the motor again so hopefully itll be able to been seen easily, both of you thanks for the replies!About the t/o bearing, would it remain a constant sound when the clutch is pressed or rpms change? I know the sound is not getting louder or changing with different...

    small vibration noise coming from inside the tranny

    So I just rebuilt the engine including swapping the crankshaft for a reman. When I was finished I started it and there is a small vibration noise coming from inside the tranny, sounds to be on the edge of the bell hosing. When I put the motor back in I know it was a tighter fit than normal and...

    Seat slide removal

    I dont know if you would rather go this route but what I did to get racing seats in is take some 1/4" steel bars to support the weight and hold in a wreck, cut them to the size I wanted with the sliders from the factory seat then assembled it into a box and attached it to the seat with high...

    420a Squeek and bolt cast broken

    Thats your belt tensioner and yes it can cause a squeak because your power steering and ac belt can be loose. It is replaceable, the dealer will charge between 50 to 100 for a new tensioner, or you can go the route I did and buy a hardened bolt, nuts a washers and make a new bolt for it if your...

    Transmission Trouble?

    sounds to me like the clutch isnt fully coming off some of the time, and your syncros are shot, more than you had thought. Id get that fixed asap before any more of the tranny goes.

    Looking for CHEAP reman trans for n/t daily driver

    Theres a few stores off of ebay that have some good deals, I would check there first if you want to stay stock, but do your research on the companies and make sure they are legit before hand.

    I have a 420a that I just rebuilt, went to start it and its very hard to start and very rough, also I believe Im not burning all the gas because it smokes and smells rich.

    I have searched and want to verify, timing issues....

    Oh, and also should the dowel be right behind the timing mark or the cam gears or is it off from it? I ask because I dont have a yolk to hold the cam gear to take the bolt out.
  33. Eclipse45150

    I have searched and want to verify, timing issues....

    I was wondering I saw the vfaw, the page in the service manual, and various other places about how the timing marks look to line up for tdc. Upon searching I have founs that the are suppose to be 6 o clock on the intake and 12 on the exhaust, is this correct? My issue s that when set across from...

    Connecting rod caps, replace caps or whole rods?

    I figured I would just try and start out fresh, I dont know that much about machine work but all four had irregularites from the factory, some had more metal some less, that made me more weary about using them, then I saw the #4 had a pin size chunk taken out from inbetween the rod and cap...

    Connecting rod caps, replace caps or whole rods?

    an update and reply:First, I took all of the caps off and noticed on #4 where the gap was, there is about a mm tall and about 2-3mm long what looked like a chunk out of it, upon taking the #1 cap off it has the exact opposite so I matched them up and it fits perfectly flush with no gaps...

    overheating, repaired, should i go further?

    Sorry I wasnt that exact earlier, long night at the bar. Basically if its working dont fix it but I would still check the sensors to make sure they arent corroded, both are like a total of twenty so its not bad to go ahead and chenge them
  43. Eclipse45150

    overheating, repaired, should i go further?

    First check to make sure your fan is coming on, it should kick on when the temp gauge is about half to three quarters of the way up, it will be the one on the right if you are looking down to the radiator from the front of the car, if it doesnt, which in my case it didnt I rewired it so the...

    I feel like a moron, engine lift point

    Thats what I thought! Thank you bud, I thought it went there to even out the weight from the rear bracket but when I lined it up to see it doesn't want to line up straight, the bracket wants to tilt a lil to the left, guess Im not as much of a moron as I thought, just gotta learn to trust...
