    2G Spyder stock trans gave up on the highway?

    okay i'll get some jack stands and start getting the trans off on one of my days off. and if you mean saving for weeks for good stuff, then yeah i have the budget! poverty spec. i didn't try it in any other gear besides first, and that was right after it happened, after i pulled over. i haven't...

    2G Spyder stock trans gave up on the highway?

    Is it worth fixing? If it is just a shift fork, the trans will have to come off anyways, so I’ll double synchro 2nd while I’m in there. Is this a bad omen for this transmission, and should I invest in a new one instead of fixing it? Thank you so much for your time.

    Buying a DSM. What was the best year of the 2nd gen?

    for anyone still here wondering, the main thing to look at is if you want a 6 bolt motor or not. i have a 98 but just have it as a street car for now. in my research i haven't noticed anything that would deter me from any year or model dsm, as long as it's 4g63t! i would be happy with any of...

    2G Stock 98 Spyder GS-T breaking up randomly

    i will figure out a boost leak test and do that before getting back to you guys. it has relatively new ngk plug wires, but i might as well swap those out and put new plugs in it while i'm at it. i'll get back with results soon hopefully

    2G Stock 98 Spyder GS-T breaking up randomly

    Hey guys, I just got the car back and running after it sat for a little over 7 months. I had a stage 1 SBC installed and now I notice it's breaking up in 2nd and 3rd sometimes.It seems to happen randomly, but only when I stab it. If I roll into the boost gently it'll be fine and rev all the...

    2G Clutch kit?

    i gave it to one of my dad's friends and paid him to do the install. i don't have a garage or else i would've done it even though idk what i'm doing... but when i dropped it off and when i picked it up it was leaking boost bad. i fixed that, and now i see that the clutch won't grab the flywheel...

    2G Clutch kit?

    i want to love it but the clutch won't grab the flywheel! it goes into gear just fine but when you let the clutch out it barely moves and the engine just revs and you go nowhere.

    Spyder Throttle cable replacement? and various questions

    that's exactly what i thought. it's not dragging, so idk why it would be the hydraulic adjustment. i'm gonna start there anyways. the thing is though, he never touched the flywheel. he only made sure it was smooth and it was. then he plopped the clutch in. and it won't grab now... so idk. i have...
