    Auto trans problems after ge to gte swap. FIXED

    The shifter is adjusted and no codes. I am going to check the wiring diagrams today to see if there is a difference in the wires for the years. Also what will not last long if you use a ge computer on a gte the computer or the transmission?

    Auto trans problems after ge to gte swap. FIXED

    I just got done doing a turbo swap but dont have the gte ECT (Trans computer). The car will not go past second gear, I am not sure if it is a problem with the trans or if the ECT is the problem. So the question is will a ge trans computer run a gte trans.

    US vs JDM 7mgte

    Just have to look at the throttle body linkage setup, usdm motors have the metal bars that go to them and the jdm ones have the wire go straight to them, so the bracket that usually bolts into the valve cover center will not be there and there will be an extra bracket on the intake just before...

    bhg or bad rad cap?

    Most of the time the weakness in a mhg is the machining that is done. Did the shop who did the work know it was being machined for a mhg and do they even know what needs to be done to machine for a mhg. There are a lot of shops that will say sure we can machine for a mhg and then do a normal...

    7MGTE Noise Problem/Diagnostic

    Check the bolts from flex plate to torque converter that the only thing I can think of to make a noise like that and it will sound exactly like that. If it is the bolts loose you should hear the noise at idle and when you rev the motor it will make the noise and when you let off the throttle it...

    7M-GE Ticking noise, just starting to get louder

    Could be noisy injectors, mine sound like valves ticking they always have. No problem out of them though.
