The problem is a worn intermediate shaft bearing on the bellhousing side. The trans will need a rebuild. Verify first that it isn't a shift linkage problem and there is nothing obstructing the movement of the shift levers under the hood on the trans. You can verify that it is not a shift...

These transfercases are not interchangeable. Doing so can damage the center differential and/or the center differential viscous coupling as these units have different gear ratios.

I have rebuilt countless DSM transmissions for cars making stock power all the way to 900 whp. I have used gearsets that have been shotpeened, REMed and all other treatments from other shops, they are all going to break anyway if you make enough power. I just think that the whole "built...

In my opinion don't waste your money. Replace the worn parts, shim the trans tight (this makes the biggest difference), and be done with it. A trans with stock internals is just that....a stock trans. All of these gear treatments aren't worth the cash and only make you feel better. As far as...

The intermediate shaft does not spin while the car is idling and not moving. It sounds like your problem is not the intermediate shaft taper bearings.

I have done it a few times. You don't need to take the trans completely apart, you just need to get far enough to remove the center diff to weld it. You only need to self the bottom side gear to the case, the rest of the internal (including the viscous coupling) you can leave out.

You can not use the internals from your AWD trans in your FWD but you can modify your AWD trans to work in your FWD. You will need to weld the center differential and block the output shaft hole.

Yes, it is moment of inertia which equals mass*radius^2. This means that weight that is further from the center of the disc has exponentially more effect on the synchros ability to change the speed of the input shaft and the clutch disc quickly. A heavy clutch disc will shift noticably slower...

Your rear differential mount bushings are probably worn. This is a common problem for 2G AWD cars. Raise the car and take a look at where the differential mounts to the rear subframe. You may need to place a pry bar between the differential and the subframe and pry gently to check for play.

I'm bringing this one back from the dead.I'm looking for the lightest clutch disc available, I want the quickest high RPM shifting on a single disc clutch. Currently I'm looking into purchasing the ACT unsprung 4 puck. Does anyone know the weight of this disc or any other clutch discs that...

Yup, they are regrinds and they did not include shims in the package. I am a little upset because I sent them a set of genuine HKS 264 cams that had 2 scored cam journals to repair. I called a month later to follow up because I had not heard back from them. When I called they said they didn't...

I talked to the guy from delta cam at length. He assured me these cams were identical to HKS 264s. He said they were not regrinds and that they were made from new billet stock.# 10 washer you say? Does anyone know the exact thickness that the shin is supposed to be? Thanks in advance.

I pulled the car into the shop today and removed the valve cover. Every single rocker that did not have pressure on it from the cam lobe had play in it. Then I took out my dial caliper and measured the diameter of the cams (where it rides on the rocker arm ignoring the raised lobe) and the...

The car had been off for about 3 days. I was going to swap the lifters today but I didnt have time. I'll do it tomorrow or the following day. I was going to do a compression check after I swapped the lifters just for kicks even though I don't think there is anyway that the lifters could have...

The springs and the rest of the valve train is stock. I think I am going to remove, clean, and bleed (or replace) the lifters tomorrow. I'll report back with the results. Thanks for the help and if anyone has any comments please share.
