    Street friendly twin disc?

    +1 The extension rod is just a Band-Aid. Do it once --- do it right. :hellyeah:Tim

    cant put in gear when car is running

    I don't think the slave cylinder is the issue. Sounds like a bad master cylinder and/or clutch pedal (Z-Bar) assembly. The clutch pedal movement (or lack of?) when you release the pedal is a clear indication of this. I would inspect the knuckle / joint where the pedal and lever connect. If you...

    Will not go into gear PLEASE HELP!

    Sure sounds like a master cylinder to me! The op stated that bleeding it allowed it to work for a day. We have seen a number of cars come through our shop with master cylinders that have had internal leaks. The internal leaks allow air to get in to the hydraulic system... It was mentioned...

    Clutch Issues

    When you adjusted the rod on the master cylinder, how did the engagement change? Were you able to adjust the rod to where you were unable to push the slave cylinder piston in with your thumb? If you were, this makes me believe you might have an issue with the physical clutch setup (pp, clutch...

    Clutch Issues

    The CV axles have no bearing on how a transmission shifts.You stated two extremes of clutch engagement issues, with the only two things changed are the release fork and the pivot ball. I would venture to say that on the first round your clutch was dragging (not fully disengaging -- allowing...

    Output shaft seal leaking

    The amount of lateral movement you are experiencing, with the pry bar, is normal. The leak you described, however, is not. :)Replacing the seal shouldn't be too difficult with the transmission in the vehicle. You will want to make sure the seal does not get caught on the output shaft...

    What oil to use for FWD with Quaiffe LSD?

    Just to compliment what Joe stated, choosing the correct type of gear oil is quite important. Aside from making sure the oil will properly work with the gears, bearings, and synchro assemblies in your specific application; certain types of oil could impact or limit the effectiveness of the LSD...

    when is the last time you got a speeding ticket?

    Summer of 1997. 4:30am, on my way to work. I was driving down the highway at 55mph in a 45mph zone.

    Hey

    Hello gang!I figure since I live in Colorado Springs, I might as well say hi to all of my fellow Rocky Mountain DSMers. :thumb:I am sure I have met a few of you, whether you know it or not. I drive a white 90 GSX. If you have stopped by Jacks Transmissions in the past couple months, you...

    Which / What Oil Should I Use? [Merged]

    Go with a motor oil that does NOT meet the EPA standards... The Zinc and Phosphorous levels have changed and cause more wear on the engine...

    Is it worth an hour drive?

    Sounds like it could be a potential mess or a gem. The title states "runs and drives" but the description says the engine starts and has no power? If you are bored, go check it out. Bring cash, but don't offer him $1600 for it.It is always more fun to talk the person down, get the title...

    If you live in Colorado Springs, why not take it to Jacks?

    I have a few problems.

    If the car is starting up, the clutch is pushed in. Very doubtful it is a trans bearing or throw out bearing that is making the noise. I would look more at the starter / flywheel.Skewer

    How much did you pay for your DSM?

    I paid nothing for my 1990 GSX 5 speed. Was given to me by a friend. Bone stock car, except for KYB AGX struts and Eibach springs. It even has the stock airbox on it! The transmission was rebuilt and the timing belt was replaced a year ago. I've had her for 5 months, put 3000 miles on it, and...

    interchangeable transmissions

    I will first assume you have a 5-speed.Essentially, any of the 1G AWD and G-VR4 transmissions will bolt up. A couple of things to keep in mind is the spline count from your output shaft going into your Transfer Case. The early 1G's had a short arm for the cable connections and others have a...

    What did you do to your DSM today?

    I went out in the garage to grab a beer and smoke a cigarette. Looked at the DSM, doesn't get driven most days. I think I *MIGHT* wash it tomorrow, if it is warm enough. Yep, that's about it for this weekend.

    New (ish?) in Colorado

    Hello gang! I had an old account from a long time ago, but forgot the login information, so I created a new one two years ago. I did not realize until recently, that I have not even posted a message in the forums yet. :pI had a 90 TSI for a few years, until I *had* to get rid of it. IE: I...
