Well the wire a that seemed to be shorting must have been the culprit. After new wires its a happy camper again. Boy do I feel stupid for not noticing such a simple thing. Apparently it only shorted when I would get to 4k WOT or above and drop out that cylinder. I could take it to and past 4k at...

Update. Problem still exists. I did ' find a couple downstream leaks and fixed all but the throttle body bushings (little leak). Pump pressure is fine. I did find that my fairly new wires has one shorting to the valve cover. I will replace those and see what happens. It doesn't really feel like...

Thanks for the input. I have a Hahn race pump thats a couple years old. Accell wires are about two years old. Three year old ND plugs. O2 is exactly two years old. I just changed the filter and regulator last night and will test for boost leak this AM. I'm running a 92 ECU setup with 105' caps...

Looking for help from some experienced DSMers on this one. This is on a 90 GSX. This problem happened all of a sudden. At WOT around 4krpm I lose power, similar feeling to hitting rev limit, not fuel cut. It just makes a sound like way to much fuel is dumping in with king of a warbling feeling /...

I am paying 2.91 per gallon in Menlo Park, CA. Neat huh? Its supposed to keep going up. I've been really trying to keep my foot out of it. So far I'm getting 240 miles per tank.

I have been thowing around this swap idea for awhile now too. I pretty much know whats involved and thats what keeps me from moving forward with it. From what I see per Mits Caps and DSM manual, TC's are different, axles are different, rear diff different and then all the electronics phewwww...

CV?? Never had one of those go bad though so I don't know how they react. After rebuilding them I imagine it doesn't growl or moan. Just snap snap snap. I really think its a bearing. Jack it up and see if theres any play. Even when mine started going bad I could feel a little play.

I have a 90 GSX. I had a noise from the right rear. It was kind of a droning sound. At first it was only at certain speeds usually around 45. After 6-8 months it was all the time but most noticeable at 45 where it was like a loud whining growl. I knew it was the bearing since I could feel just a...

Do yourself a favor Marquez and checkout the FAQ on the 2G tranny rebuild and clutch change. You will see what is involved in getting tranny out and apart. You should be able to pull the tranny out just fine. If the bell housing is cracked, the whole tranny has to come apart. Take your time and...

If your Front Case gasket is leaking on that side you should see it after pulling the PSP and Alt. If its the Crank Shaft Seal you won't be able to see it w/o taking off the Timing Covers. That water return pipe is higher than half of your Front Case if memory serves me right. Sounds like you...

Did you ever find the leak? I have the same leak on my 90 GSX but haven't really done much with it yet..

Yeah. I also have a newer model CPU and all the goodies I had to change with it to get it to work and a new model interior with Black Leather. Its funny though. the list of things I've done is still smaller that the want to do list.

Your'e dead on there RAW. I recently switched back to a stock CD (from welded) but the one I acquired needed some work. I used the the insides from my good 92 in the 90. All is happy now. So now I have a 92 tranny case, 90 guts, 90 CD with 92 guts, 23 spline output shaft, 23 spline TC and 92...

I have a set of 17x7.5s I run 235x40 Yoko A520s on. As soon as I get the $ for 225x45s I will change them. I'm not sure of the offset but they're about 4mm from the lower spring perch and dead even with the fenderwell. Thats a bit too tight. I could cut off the perches and run have enough room...

Clutch Disc sheared all rivits on center hub. Neat huh?

I was cruising about 25mph down a quiet street, put clutch in to down shift while making a right turn, and next thing I know, without any bumping grinding or any noise whatsoever my tranny goes neutral in all gears. While motor running, I can put it in any gear, that is with clutch in and out...

I just recently built a tranny using 90 guts and an early 92 case and TC in my 90 GSX. What I found out was that the pitch on the casing gear of the center diff was a different pitch between the 92 and 90 so they were not compatible. I found the both output shafts 22 and 23 spline were...

I took it apart and chekced it under a 40X Stereo Scope. Nothing is burnt. Every part checks good in circuit, that is no open or shorted transistors, diodes, resistors. Pot is good. Weird. Even if I did find a part bad on the pcb to recommend for a fix, not too many people out there can handle...

I have had a lot of problems in this area but after a coupe months of stressing over it and going to many different shops, I found that if you can find someone who will work with you on it you'll be fine. I always ask for a pretest. If the guys a dick at all I find someone else. There are people...

Thanks for the input. Wasn't a fuse. All illumination was getting power. It just wouldn't go to ground. I swapped out the rheostat and that solved the problem. I'm going to take it to work and see what actually blew inside so I can fix it next time.:thumb:

I searched many threads on this subject but there are no solutions. I was cutting out the spaghetti wire harness in my 1G GSX that previous owner did to the stereo and that night when I turned the headlights on, no dash or console illumination. There are no blown fuses anywhere. Everything else...

I have a 92 TSI that I suspect has a similar problem on the center shaft. The reason I don't think it earlier is that the noise increases frequency as car speed increases, not RPM. If cutch is in, no more noise. On the FWD if the problem was with RPM only it would probably be isolated to the...

Ok it wasn't such a big deal getting it apart after all. It is very clean inside, no shaving or anything. Gears also look fine. All shims are in place but there is a lot of place. Like 2 mm on the spiders to the case. Situation I'm having is I'm building a 90 GSX. The tranny I found was held in...

Thanks for the reply. I took it over to Prostreet last night and they said it's probably got a cracked gear. I'm trying to get it apart (lack of proper tools) so I can see whats up.

I am chasing a problem with what I thought was a center differential issue. When backing up, cars (trans area) shakes violently. If backing and turning wheels at same time car really resists and shaking is worse. It turns out, the trans was held in by the top two bolts holding trans to engine...

I just had the same problem. I spent two hours at parts stores, on a Saturday of course, looking for ball bearings. Notta. I finally went to a good hardware store, Orchard Supply and Hardware, and picked up a pack of 1/4" balls. They were in a special section that just carried weard fasteners...

I use GM Synchro Mesh that I just go to a local GM dealer to get. It's easier for me to come by than BG Synchro Mesh. Check http://www.roadraceengineering.com/eclexhaust.htm for other tranny fluids. In the T-case and rear end (4 bolt LSD) I am using Redline Heavy Weight Shock Proof Gear Lube. As...

Thanks for the info. I will be pulling the tranny this next weekend. It seems there are several cracks around the bell housing. I think it's time for another tranny. I have one in my TSI that I will probably use.

I was wondering what you found with your shift problem. I have a 92 TSI AWD that does the exact same thing. I also use GM Syncro Mesh, cables good adjustment, solid mount shifter bushings.

Tonight I was pulling off my VC to put that little ball bearing back in someone was kind enough to leave out and I noticed that my TC seemed to be locked. I've never seen one so is it normal when holding it in your hand, not to be able to turn any of the inside in relation to the outer case? If...

Thanks for the info.:)

Hey gold diamond, what have you found out so far? Have a similar problem in my 90 gsx. I have a good 4 bolt rear now and TC is fine. I thought it might be the CD too. I was going to try swapping between my early 92 TSI and my 90 to see if it corrected the problem but have been looking for info...
