First of all, can we have a drivetrain experts forum? Anyways, I've rebuilt several r154's, no problems whatsoever. So I bring this next one in, tear it apart. Syncros are trash, a gear has chip, yadda yadda yadda. I start assembling with new bearing and sycros, 1st through 4th go...

Read a couple threads down. Fmylife.com

We are doing this on Houston-Imports, thought maybe it'd be fun here too. I'll start it off. Today, I was pulling the motor from a neon. I turned a nut holding the positive cable to the starter for nearly 10 minutes, eventually to find when I had originally threaded it on, I had stripped it...

A friend of mine has a 280zx with the L28T under the hood. He put the turbo off a newer cummins diesel on it, and it works very very well. Car gets down.

A few years ago I installed a narrowband on my miata and didn't ground it right. Ran riiiiiiich. Had no power until 4000 rpms then it took off. So yea, maybe its a ground issue you're having?

T88, drag radials, 2 step. Then hunt them mofuggas down.

You've got a message!
