Nope
just figured out why my car was bucking in boost... To backlight the problem, three weeks ago I had a cylinder misfire... so I ended up switching the coilpacks to see if it would follow to another cylinder... but needless to say it didnt follow to another cylinder which would indicate a bad coil... so i looked into the gaps on the spark plugs, there were gapped for the normal protege .044 so I regapped them to .032 and vhoollllaaaa no more bucking under boost... I cant believe it was this easy to solve, i feel like an idiot for not trying this sooner....
Washed it ,wheeled it and waxed it. Did the interior yesterday.
Just so i understand correctly; i just need to punch out the shift fork pins snd not pull shiter shafts ect appart? Just slide the forks up with both shafts? What about getting bunged up on the dif?
Also, is a factory lsd with 131km worh welding? While im in there might as well ask.
A whole year? Guess you were down and that's not a customary procedure for you.
Your trans guy sounds a little dopey to me. There is absolutely no issue with bringing a trans shop the already-removed trans. If they have an issue with it, find a new shop. IMHO, you should find another shop just to get another opinion on it.Bleh.
that was a pointless trip to the trans shop kinda.. mechanic took it for a road test and confirmed the noises i explained but wants to put it on a hoist and simulate it running to have a better listen...of course for all of this, thinking back to when i changed out the clutch.. i don't think i changed that flywheel pilot bearing... maybe that blew up.. but wouldn't there still be a bearing in the crank to capture the input shaft?
he's talking about possibly missing teeth and it costing around $500-$600 just to open it and put it back together.. plus whatever it costs to put it on the hoist and road test it again. not including parts..
wonder if i should just stick to my gut, skip all this and take it apart myself this week. he didn't seem all that enthusiastic about getting the trans out of the car, and im not that interested in paying him to do that heh..
maybe im auto stupid, but if i give you a piece of the car and ask you to take it apart, wouldn't the ****** s*** be pretty apparent?
missing teeth seems silly to me. if that was the case, it wouldnt go into whatever gear or id it did, it would probably grind all the remaining teeth off, or get jammed up by the piece that broke off... maybe im missing somthing?
To be fair I the car was down most of the year so yeah.. didn't feel like washing it.
