ill have to see if im able to get that saturday off since the drive is pretty lengthy. i would like a tee though if i end up going. ill keep you posted

 

Aw go ahead and come.......I promise not the blacken your other eye

 

OK Phil, I have my Redline MT90. Ready to come Saturday to switch it out.

Side note, it has happened more frequently as of late, but all the warning lights have turned on at one time in my dash until I shut the car down. They all go on but nothing seems to change with the way the car is performing. What is that and what do I need to do to make it stop?

 

Someone smack some sense into me. I just bought a short shifter for a transmission that isn't fully working great yet. I might have some buyer's remorse so as soon as it arrives I might be selling it. Keep an eye out fellas.

 

chun if ur selling ur shortshifter hit me up playa plya

 

Let me get it first... If I decide not to keep it you have first dibs.

 

yesterday i changes the oil in the tranny.. took the RP out and add the redline mt 90
i didn't notice much difference for now

i was thinking if a short shifter could help with the grinding or would make it worst?

go my undertray and already installed it
phil it's ok for you of i stop by later to return you jack?

 

Short Shifter won't help with the grinding. Stop engine braking if you have been. 2nd gear syncros are not so good for that. I hope you have been babying your tranny since you started having some issues. It might just be on it's way out.

 

humm so i might hold in the shifter for now..
well i've started to save some money.. i'm not pushing it so hard but it's hard to take easy
how much had u spend with the all tranny issues?

 

First tranny about $450... second tranny $650...

There are possibilities of getting a rebuild of yours too. Phil knows some people that might be able to do that or you can research around town who is best suited for the job.

 

I'm up until 8pm tonight and then it's to bed....

 

There is a place in Las Vegas that does RX7 auto transmissions and stick trannys.......I will stop by there tomorrow (if I have time) and see what it will cost to go thru a 8 tranny........

 

Bent rim = + need new tires to replace all... 19's too... oy!

 

That can be repaired.......Well maybe it's time for new rims

 

Phil, I see you called my last night but I was sleeping in my chair.......You can bring it by Saturday. Gone tonight to see Air Supply tomorrow night to see someone?....

Stopped by the tranny shop and yes they will work on your trannys. I'll tell you about it tomorrow.

 

ok.. call or txt me before chun get in your house, just to make sure that i will wake up so u guys won't have to wait for me with the jack

we talk tomorrow.. and i still have some of those clips if u still need them i will bring it tomorrow

 

Thanks to Phil for the garage and tools and thanks to Felipe for the help with my fluids. Running Redline MT90 in the tranny, Royal Purple high performance synthetic in the engine and starting to premix. I wish I could say that the noise from the transmission was gone but when reversing up a hill I still get hear it. Same with hardcore engine braking so I am still going to baby this tranny.

 

you welcome.. my tranny is better the second gear it's wayy better than was before
i kind can engine break with it even now knowing that i shouldn't
the 5th still grinding when i try to shift fast on high rpms
but yeah the redline is working much better the the royal purple on my tranny
and also bought tein s tech and brake pads should be on the way so i can replace the front rotors =]

 

Hurray on the Tein S Techs! That's a full day's job installing those. I'll help but that **** takes a long *** time! You might want to call AJ about those.

 

Hey I have to install my AFE Short Shifter this weekend to see if I like it enough to keep it. Phil you going to be around to help me out? I have no idea what I am doing.

 

Remember I told you I would be gone this week end? In Laughlin partying

 

Don't think I heard that part. It's all good... I have someone else I can call.

 

i got the springs.. tomorrow is my day off so i was thinking about take the day to do it.. how many hours did you take to do it chun?
i will help david( texa's manager) to change his brake pads and see if he can help me out but would be really good if i had someone around that had done it before
i would call aj but it's been a while that we haven't talk and i don't want call just to ask a favor so i will be trying it tomorrow by my self
if anyone that have a free time to stop by and gimme some tips let me know please =]

 

we always can look for a DIY of how install the short shift =]

 

I didn't do it, I had the auto school install them... it took them forever! Two night because the guy was teaching the students as they were doing it. it took AJ like 5 or 6 hours... he is the only cat I know who has done it himself. Aside from Gilbert's friend Mike, but you'd have to pay him.
