    Volt Meter Bouncing - Chasing an electrical issue

    Thanks. I think I agree with you seeing as taking that remote sense wire out of the picture clears up the fluctuation issue... Anyways ReTested with a new digital volt meter here are my findings step by step through Ford’s Diagnostic check Pinpoint Test E: Indicator Lamp Flickers /...

    Volt Meter Bouncing - Chasing an electrical issue

    Thanks HISSIN Regarding the wire looping/splicing. Aren't the Point A and Point F tests doing exactly that? I know the point F test is a test to see if the voltage output is greater than or equal to the battery and the point A test is taking point A and jumping it to the positive battery...

    Volt Meter Bouncing - Chasing an electrical issue

    Also I should add that the gauge flickers whether the headlights are on or not. And the fluctuation I'm seeing is a spike when it bounces (bounces to the right, spikes and bounces back to normal) which is also why I don't think its a fuse (wouldn't a bad fuse cause a drop in voltage?)

    Volt Meter Bouncing - Chasing an electrical issue

    Belt and tensioner are more than tight. No belt dust either. I have an analog volt meter (unfortunately) and it doesn't show anything spiking, but the headlights definitely dim and brighten with the voltage gauge movements.

    Volt Meter Bouncing - Chasing an electrical issue

    Stock voltage gauge. No other gauges bounce. Headlights are flickering with the gauge fluctuation so I'm pretty sure its not an issue with the gauge.

    Volt Meter Bouncing - Chasing an electrical issue

    I HATE electrical problems... Volt Meter bounces all over the place (looks like it spikes high then settles back but its bouncing back and forth like 3 times a second). This is at all rpm. Headlights dim and brighten as well so I know its not just the gauge going crazy. Replaced the...

    TKO-500 & TKO-600 users: how high in RPM can you shift?

    Thanks for the info, please do check back in. Quick question about the air gap of the clutch, how can one measure this?

    TKO-500 & TKO-600 users: how high in RPM can you shift?

    Thank you for your reply. It is the hit or miss of the older ones that worries me. However, there seems to be a silver lining from what I've read. Check the build date on your trans, It seems Tremec offers improved shift lugs that should solve the problem. In fact I read of a few...

    Busted my T5, manual transmission advice is needed and greatly appreciated!!!

    I see what you're saying. That is one way of looking at it, others use even larger gaps on the synchronizers which makes it more difficult on the street.

    No problem Pro shifted transmissions are when the synchros are replaced with different "collars" which allow higher RPM engagement. Beauty to up shift, but makes downshifting down right impossible. So not too street worthy.

    TKO-500 & TKO-600 users: how high in RPM can you shift?

    I definitely am hearing the stories about the old units but I want to be sure their "fix" is truly a fix considering they claimed nothing was wrong with the old ones...

    What is your redline? 5800?

    Thank you Kevin, What are you shifting your TKO600 at and how is the "feel"?

    TKO-500 & TKO-600 users: how high in RPM can you shift?

    I'm currently debating what transmission to replace my old one with. The only thing leaving me hesitant about the TKO-500 or 600 is the high RPM shift issue. I understand that Tremec offers improved Shift Lugs that help to allow the trans to engage up to 6500 RPM now, but I haven't heard...

    http://www.promotionpowertrain.com/index.html It isn't much of one but there it is. Also Tremec now has improved shift lugs you can order from them (I don't know much about them)

    Busted my T5, manual transmission advice is needed and greatly appreciated!!!

    There is a difference between the TKO and the TKO500/600 Is yours a TKO or a 500/600? Modular2v, I'm replacing the bell housing & clutch either way and from what I understand the only other things that need to be replaced for a TKO are the DS Yoke and a spacer, so I do appreciate the concern...
