    Eclipse spyder 2.4 F5M3 trans stuck in multiple gears.

    I have already started tearing it apart. I just need to know what I'm looking for damage wise. 5th gear shift fork was in perfect condition.

    Eclipse spyder 2.4 F5M3 trans stuck in multiple gears.

    When it I is in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or reverse it will stall the car when the clutch is let out. But when put in neutral or fifth the car will take off. I know this means that it's stuck in multiple gears. I also know it could be cause by the poppet springs/balls and it the shift rail. But I'm...

    head oil port not look good/pic inside

    If that's what you want that's fine, I would suggest getting another head from the junk yard, look for the most stock engine you can find and pull the head, use the specs I gave you and check the measurements. And resurface it if necessary. That'll be a lot cheaper.

    Engine mount: 7 bolt back into a 2G that had 6 bolt swap done

    are you sure the swap was done like this? there are many other ways it could have been done, it is very easy to use a 2g engine mount on a 6-bolt block, you just have to trim a piece for the water pump, if thats the case, then just pick up a new mount for like 20 bucks and bolt it up to your 7-bolt.

    Engine Swap compatibility

    you need to use the tranny according to the engine, there is too much work into interchanging them and its simply not worth it. throw a 6-bolt in it with the proper transmission.

    Knock sensor and head replacement

    if their is no cracking in the pistons then they could work, there could potentially be hot spots on the piston if there is a dent when its running, but im sure it'll be fine. now for the knock sensor just solder it, you wouldn't even need it actually it would just set a DTC.

    head oil port not look good/pic inside

    Total allowable for both head and block is .008 and that's on a stock head gasket with a crush thickness is .038 so if you get a thicker head gasket then that'll make up for the machining. I not sure exactly what your asking but I hope this helps.Hope this helps you further..

    Head gasket decisions and sizing

    If both the block and head are mirror finished, stick with the cometic. I am about to install one and have heard numerous good things. As someone else stated above, most problems come from improper install. Get a set of ARP head studs and follow the installation instructions exactly. You should...

    How do I diagnose radiator fan problem?

    As he said the fans are only need for low speed and idle, so I would check for restrictions in front of the radiator or in the cooling system. The PCM would be the last thing I would check, I would test for continuity or voltage on the wires between the PCM and the relay and the relay in the...

    Identify a Walbro 255

    If you could post a couple pictures I could let you know, but like the first person said, check those numbers and see if they match.

    2G 6 Bolt Swap Wire Gage for Crank sensor

    I would use what is on the car, but here is a better solution which will cost some money, but should be well worth it. http://www.extremepsi.com/store/product.php?productid=23253&cat=0&page=1

    head oil port not look good/pic inside

    Yeah I understand that but that oil port is a very crucial part of the oil system.
