    Help finding 1g auto performance motor mounts?

    The 1g Avid 5 speed motor mount kit works for auto for 3 of the 4 mounts. The trans mount will not work. I modified the stocker, filled it with 70A polyurethane.

    Auto Trans, can't find the noise

    Torque converter bolts hitting the rear main housing is what it sounds like. Stock flexplate? Did you Orient it correctly?Spin the motor by hand with the inspection plate off and check for clearance.

    New Eagle Talon Tsi

    I'd literally disregard everything mjtnismo has stated. Sorry, I don't have time to go into particulars but it's full of misinformation and plain incorrect. Listen to 1990TSI, much better info there.Checking crank walk with a feeler gauge? Huh?The proper way would be with a dial indicator...

    1G front wheel bearing install, ripped off.

    A shop should charge 0.5 hr shop rate to remove and replace bearing with knuckle provided. A fair price would be around $50.

    RWD 4G63 Subframe mod?

    The problem is, when this does happen, the OP will not post pictures of the destruction. The shame will likely be very difficult to overcome. This thread will die without resolution.

    Got my 1g back together and now....

    You need to perform a leak down test. My guess is a leaking valve.Valve replacement is a precision task and requires specific tools and test equipment to make sure the job is done right.

    Incorrect torque (excessive) is almost always the cause of a cracked valve cover.Buy a good used or new valve cover, torque to spec, enjoy.

    wtf coolant?

    The proper way is to evacuate all air first (vacuum). The pressure difference will force coolant throughout the coolant passages until the pressure is constant, leaving no trapped air.Many companies sell vacuum coolant fill tools, including Blue Point.

    If you cannot afford to repair the issue correctly the first time, you should wait until you do have the monetary means to do so.It is never efficient to perform a task incorrectly, no matter what the constraints are believed to be. I say "believed" to be because often what are thought of as...

    Found this in my oil pan

    I did read your previous posts and they are all incorrect.Cleaning "as much" debris as you can and doing a few oil changes to flush as much debris out is simply terrible advice.The correct way to solve the problem is what the OP is doing.

    Auto Trans Inspection

    Upon second look, the input shaft may have some excessive play. Factory spec. is no greater 0.039" of axial play.Also, the correct terms are manual control lever and inhibitor switch when locating neutral.

    Auto Trans Inspection

    There are 6 positions but 5 movement points.Starting from Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, 2nd, 1st.Neutral is where the hole in the shift selector arm matches up with the hole in the shaft body.The input shaft looks like it has a normal amount of axial movement, especially being dry of any...

    Auto Trans Inspection

    Make sure rotation is not being obstructed at any point through the selector sweep. The shaft has a bearing that would have absorbed all of the lateral load from being dropped. As long as the shaft does not have any lateral play and you can achieve each selection point without effort, I'd run it.

    Auto Trans Inspection

    Bend the arms back into place. It doesn't take a ton of force to bend those arms, especially if it hit near the very end.Shift into 1st and rotate the input shaft, you should be able to rotate it by hand (not easily but it should rotate) .

    Auto Trans Inspection

    That gear shift selector is very much bent. It should shift smoothly between R, P, D, 1, 2, 3.Both arms are bent.

    2G intake air temp

    I suggest testing the IAT sensor for proper operation. Remove and provide an external heat source. If its a thermistor, the resistance should decrease as the temp increases.

    What's the limit of single valve spring?

    100% correct. Valve spring force selection should definitely take into account desired boost level.

    Does Size Matter? 2.5" vs. 3" Exhaust discussions. [merged]

    Quick and dirty:The turbo no longer has a restriction that was aiding it's inability to spin freely. The smaller exhaust in a way is acting like a Wastegate.

    1G Overheating with scirocco radiator

    Do the simple things first. Start with an 80/20 mix of water to coolant and add in Redline water wetter. This may solve your problem. If temps are still climbing, add ducting to direct airflow.
