I didnt think it was that gnarly! haha, nah I know whatcha mean. Its a part i'll save too for bad memories. I had to replace the TOB also of course which is fine considering they are cheap. But synchros and clutch were fine! And this thing honestly must have been slowly on its way out for a...

Did you trip on your way into your car because you said "oh crap!" hahaI have an Apexi N1 and mine looks and sits a bit different. I does look like its just a knock-off Apexi N1 design muffler, doesnt mean its a bad exhaust though. It could sound worse, would be nicer to know what it sounded...

I certainly do not think you will be SOL, just get some additional silicone hosing on stand by. However, ask around, FMIC on the T-25 is not exactly something that most people recommend, I mean unless you're planning on getting that EvoIII 16 within a few months or so. You'll end up losing boost...

Hey guys, I know a few other people are battling the same problem I had so, as promised, here is the picture of my broken Clutch Release Fork. Because one whole side of it broke off (obviously its true they do not bend, they just break) the fork actually turned sideways somewhat every time the...

Cool, thanks for the tip. I will letcha know tomorrow :):rocks:

RESOLVED:In case anyone else was having this same issue, I know a few of the people that commented/posted said that they has a similar problem, I just found the issue.Clutch Release Forks CAN bend before they break, and the clutch fork in my tranny had a bent arm. Which means it was...

I personally do not believe anything is going to happen lol.But one thing is for sure, there are a lot of people out there who do think something is going to happen so I for one WILL BE HAVING AN ORGY for all the girls who think they are doomed and always wanted a 100-some. :sneaky:

Actually... see this one:Double Rainbow Guy in Everyday Life - CollegeHumor video

wwooooowww

THEN watch this: YouTube - Crazy Double Rainbow Guy is watching Carl's Jr. commercials

Ah well if its shuddering when youre coming off the clutch pedal, then its def something inside your tranny, or a spring or the entire clutch itself. Mine is more like the opposite, engages fine when I come off the pedal, but it grinds going in occasionally.

thing is, I dont want to. I dont get a lot of free time anymore, and if it requires me losing my car for a few days to take off the bell housing and work on something im not all familiar with, i'll just lose time and money :rolleyes:If Anyone else can confirm if I need to shim my clutch fork...

You said you can get your car into gear but you feel is shudder is that right? (clutch not fully disengaging - imo)Does it ever grind going into first gear? I've had a similar problem lately, im determined its the clutch fork. Check your clutch fork position next to the slave, it should be...

I think the 2nd poster noticed his picture of a 2G, thinking he has a T25, instead of seeing the car indicated on his profile as a 1G, and him asking about a 1G. :thumb:

:::UPDATE:::I have adjusted the pedal, bled the clutch, and readjusted the pedal after the bleed, and still having the same issue. Feels like nothing changed.With the help of a friend, I was able to get about 99% of the bubbles out of my clutch lines. It took about 30 minutes but we...

From what i have heard... clutch release forks dont bend, they just right out break. Is this wrong?Im bleeding the clutch out right now and will do another adjustment when that is complete. But my fork is already leaning towards the passenger side already a bit, it is not centered, I need...

Ive done a series of the regular fixes and suggestions, I think I might just be missing one thing or doing something wrong myself. I need to back out my clutch pedal adjustment because I JUST notice that the slave cylinder rod is back to hanging on the passenger side again. I need to get that...

UPDATE ON THIS:I think I spoke too soon. The clutch was engaging fine and not pumping up at all. But occasionally I started to notice the car sit rough when at a stop and the shifter in 1st gear... THEN I noticed the clutch seemed to be dragging a bit. Sometimes it drags enough to creep me...

Alright buddy thanks, I was just worried about stripping the bolt, or worse... unbolting the wrong thing.

Hmm... put a ratchet on it? Thats gonna go over top the bleeder valve. You mean I should just use a ratchet to Loosen it, then while brake fluid is pouring on my face put the tighten it back up enough to remove the socket and put the tube on then go back and use a regular wrench? :sneaky:

I Guess that means that you are a transmission specialist and/or have experience and knowledge!! :) Maybe you can help me out also!I have a similar problem.My clutch will grind/jump hard into reverse about 50% of the time, 1st gear occasionally 1 out of 20-25 shifts will also grind the...

I am bleeding my clutch on my 98 GST and I have searched and read through about 1000 different ways to bleed the clutch. However, thats not my problem.I am working alone and am just going to Gravity Bleed my clutch. I got a clear vinyl tubing attached to the bleeder valve, but I cannot...

I agree that the Audi seems like the obvious choice. I feel like I want the 3000GT for a year for fun, and am pretty sure I could resell it at the same price I buy it for, so i guess I wouldnt get to make it a real project. Maybe it would be wiser just to buy a car im going to keep for a while...

I have heard that the 98-99 models are less prone to crankwalk due to exactly as youre saying with the thrust bearings.But, I do not have confirmation. :hmm:

I have heard in passing that the transmission in the VR-4 isnt as sturdy as the rest of the GTs or even the DSM's. Is this true? Can anyone confirm transmission problems with 3000 GTs and/or if parts are no longer made?

Aside from my DSM I found two other cars I've been really looking into getting for another project, but would still be driven probably 5000 miles a year or more.Sticking with the Mitsubishi brand, the first choice is:1994 White 3000GT VR-4 All stock, with exception of aftermarket blow...

Basic bolt-on's mostly. Even if you had the budget for a turbo, you wouldn't want to put one in without freeing up the air flow a little with an exhaust, and pop an intake on. Basically, turbo or not, you're going to follow the same type of upgrades first. Check the tech guide for your car to...

If this guy is not putting up serious power, and gets FWD Auto would be a good choice. The only reason the manual "feels" faster basically is the extra gear / faster gear ratios. I am not sure if you have check yet, but as far as I know, automatic transmissions cost more to work on and are...

okay ill do that. see whats up with it, ### i dont think i threaded it back far enough to begin with.I threaded back the upper stop as far as it seems like it can go, the pedal is touching it but touching it less than before. Got kind of hard to turn backwards with the stupid wiring harness on...

Yes it is a 2G 1998 GST,I am hitting the bleeder valve in my master cylinder obviously because its not pumping up, if i tighten the rod clockwise anymore than it is right now, it will close off the valve and it will slowly pump up over the course of driving, probably 15-20 minutes before i...

I had the master/slave done about a month ago at a local NAPA auto place. They used their Napa replacement parts for my vehicle, the nearest Mitsubishi dealer didnt have their parts in stock.I have never done any sort of changes to the pedal assembly itself, or any welding etc, it's...

My Pedal doesnt go all the way to the wall anyways, at least not as if the wall is preventing it from going any further.

Heyo,I've done plenty of research, forum searching, and we've all seen the wonderful Jack's Transmissions clutch pedal adjustment video which is a very helpful video, but I am still having minor problems with my clutch engagement.Reverse still drops into gear pretty rough, and 25% of the...

^^ I agree with the above poster. However, you should either do one of the two. Either post it as a running engine alone. Or simply post it as a parts car, if the whole engine is fine like you said, people will PM you requesting parts. Once you know what they are looking for you can do your...

the 2G stock blow off valve is a black plastic piece of crap, if the previous owner put the 1G blow off valve on, it should be metal and I think the top is a goldish color.The reason for my leak is my previous owner had some seriously dry rotted 1-ply couplers on the intercooler pipes...

Check the obvious for boost leaks on your intercooler/intake piping as well. When I had a pretty nasty leak at my top intercooler pipe connection, my BOV would seem to blow itself off once I gave it enough throttle and sort of bog until I shifted gears. Which, I know, sounds a bit strange.. if...

now that youve taken all those pictures for us, all you have to do it send it to me, thanks~

So you replaced the crankshaft pulley... were the belts properly put back on? It could be your harmonic balancer or balancer shaft/belt. This happened to me and my car would crank but my start, until it was replaced.

The original poster was talking about pulling on the boot around the clutch release fork under the transmission next to the slave cylinder. He probably pushed the fork accidentally backwards into the rod coming out of the slave cylinder. If you do this it releases all hydraulic pressure in the...

i drove it a bit to get the pedal to pump up pretty hard. but still driveable. I made sure I got it back home before the point of it NOT going into gear.But i determined myself that the slave rod was pushing the clutch fork too far over to begin with based on the adjustment my mechanic said...

I do pretty much understand your diagram haha, but shouldn't it be:( | ) with clutch pedal out ( / ) with clutch pedal in (slave push rod disengaging clutch and moving fork towards passenger side)looking from front to back.I just got under the car, and Im in the process of adjusting...

I must of not been paying attention when he mentioned the upper-cruisecontrol switch, but thanks for making me aware :)Im gonna try all this personally myself today when I'm outta work. Last 2 days my car has been back at my mechanic's garage because I told him to check these things out but...

Yeah i've seen this video before :)But he doesnt cover the upper stop on the pedal (cruise control switch) and RRE is telling me that I might need additional play at the top of the pedal and to adjust the upper stop along with the rod, to a point where my clutch pedal may even be just a bit...

I didn't check my shifter cables, but I imagine they are fine considering it shifts like a brand new car when the pedal is softer and just gets harder as the pedal gets stiffer (pumps up).My mechanic DID say he thought my clutch fork looked like it may have been a little bent but I may have...

all bolts are tight, bellhousing has no Gaps.I suppose it could just be pedal pump-up. Maybe it is possible that too much pressure builds up to a point where the slave is "frozen" and doesnt move at all when the clutch pedal is pushed down which would cause me to no be able to shift gears...

Could be a cylinder miss fire. Check your plugs and wires like the previous poster said.

^ Thanks, I'll get under the car today and check out the bolts/housing.Anyone else have any other thoughts on this?One mechanic thinks my clutch might be finished, but I dont. It shifts 100% when I get in the car for the first 10-15 minutes. Why would it become harder to shift when the...

I had my clutch master and slave cylinders replaced a little over a week ago, because they were getting old and I was having rough shifting/grinding into some gears. Original Thought - Clutch not fully disengaging.Now i've noticed my clutch slipping throughout the gears, and after enough...

It could work on a white car with a vinyl too im sure. Get a white-vinyl (which will have some translucent properties - so thats no good) then get a cheap can of your matched white paint and spray the pre-cut vinyl pieces before putting them on. Should match paint and lose the translucent...

Gonna change this over to a different question, hehe. Since im being lazy @ work, does turtlewax make wheel cleaners/polishes in this line or similar line as well?Or can anyone suggest a GOOD wheel polish that will restore my aluminum lips and get the dark road gunk off them? None of the...
