So it has been several years since I quit making the RoadSurge shift boxes and I will say that Forced Four has taken the market on the Shift Boxes for our cars :) I now have 2 kids and another on the way (Girl this time!) and an electronic repair shop I own and run which has taken up all my...

Sorry I did not see this sooner! Glad I could help :)

Out of curiosity, what would make their's stand out over mine? I do like getting feedback :)

You should get a RoadSurge Shift box :) It has one key feature that makes driving with a shift box a little safer than others. You can actually set the downshift protection in each gear including from second to first. Downshifting at 4000 RPM into first gear causes catastrophe! Been there...

Yes, this is normal. The front wheels are probably spinning opposite directions which is the way the gearing is set up inside the transmission. The drive shaft should not spin with the rear wheels on the ground. If it did, the car would move and you would get hurt. You could jack up the back...

MrNeedles, I will have to say that out of the past 13 years that I have owned DSM's, the Auto is by far the most reliable as long as you take care of it (Change fluid and don't brake boost every 5 minutes). I have destroyed over 8 manual transmissions in 6 years and finally got an Auto. So...

You have to take the rack completely apart and cut off the piston on the shaft. Once you begin assembling it, put good grease on the gear and shaft to help keep it well lubricated. You also need to plug off the holes that power steering fluid went in or out of. I bought fittings from work...

I was recently told by an engine dyno shop that setting the proper degree of the cams is highly recommended especially if you have ever had the block or head milled or are using a different head gasket than OEM. He went on to explain that with the cam gears just a bit out, it can cause the...

Update! Just got done porting and polishing the second head....yes, the second :( I jumped right in and ported and polished the first head and found that the head was warped and way out of factory spec as far as head height. The other head is close enough to factory spec the adjustable cam...

It sounds like you have a bad solenoid which is either stuck or leaking. Have you Ohm'ed the solenoids yet? They should be really close to the same ohm reading. If you hear clicking in the transmission while switching the manual shifter with the engine off, the solenoids may still be ok but...

I really need to buy me a TIG welder for home! Sucks having to drag pieces to work to weld them up and my 110 MIG is not that strong. Welds really good on thinner stuff though.

If you burn a hole in your metal, you need to let it cool down before trying to fill it up. Once it is no longer glowing red hot, go at the spot again in circles adding filler metal little by little and reducing heat as it fills in Too hot, the weld will sag, too cold, the weld will not flow...

Yes, that sounds correct. Let me know as soon as you get some readings.

Ok, I would check the power going into the ECU. Here is a pinout you can go by : http://www.lilevo.com/mirage/91-94DSMTURBOECUPINOUTS%20color%20coded%20evotistical.jpgIf you ground your meter's negative probe to the chassis of the vehicle and unhook your ECU completely from the harness and...
