    Buzzing when under a load???

    I doubt it has to do with my shims, but it is certainly possible. I did more research last night, actually several hours here is what I gathered: 1. The noise is most likely normal 2. The tail on the 3550 is lower than a T5 so a lot of people shim them vertically by putting washer between...

    Made Oil Seperator for less than $25.00

    That looks great, :nice: my question is what happens when it fills up with oil? How do you even know when it fills up with oil? Most oil traps on compressors I have seen where clear, I know that my pcv lets tons of oil past and I think it would fill up rather quick. It has a drain on the...

    King Cobra clutch problems***help***

    When I installed the KC clutch in my other car the first thing I did was race it around the block and then 10 min later I let my friend race it around the block. :bang: I didn't really break it in that well, but it still held strong for 3 years of punishment and was holding strong when I sold...

    Buzzing when under a load???

    I have the exact same problem with the same transmission, but mainly in 5th gear at 40+ mph, it gets real loud toward 75-80mph. I just replaced the clutch, pressure plate, pilot bearing and throwout bearing, and also had the flywheel resurfaced. The TO bearing was thrashed it had an elliptical...

    Surging Idle checklist: Vacume Hoses

    You should really tell us some symptoms so that we can diagnose the problem, but replacing the vacuum lines on a car you just purchased is a good idea anyway. You really need to research the idle problem and learn how the components which control the idle work. Do a search there are many...

    T-5 to Tremec 3550 Question

    Sorry to steal your thread but one more question, what clutch should I get, I want better than stock but it would be mostly street w/ little strip driving. I had the King Cobra in my other car but the pedal was a little on the stiff side. I was thinking centerforce, but I can't find a good...

    T-5 to Tremec 3550 Question

    so if the transmission works with a 26 spline driveshaft it should work with a standard t-5 clutch, correct?

    Im getting pissed...need help with idle

    UPDATE: took the BBK TB off and replace it with the old FMS TB and the thing runs like a champ, I didn't have to set the base idle or anything, just started it up and it ran. I have now completely lost all faith in BBK products. I have also realized, that though not always aesthetically...

    Im getting pissed...need help with idle

    I checked for vacuum leaks again sprayed carb cleaner at every joint...nothing. I unplug the IAC when the car is sitting at 800 rpm when I first start it, then I give it a rev, sits at about 2000 for about 3-4 seconds then drops to 1300 and will not drop below that. I cannot figure this thing...

    Im getting pissed...need help with idle

    Im about to drive this thing off a ****ing cliff. Friday I got so pissed that I change the intake back to the one that I had on it, and took out the spacer, I changed the elbow back and was going to change the throttle body back, but the TPS does not fit in my FMS 65mm TB, it is too big. Now I...

    Im getting pissed...need help with idle

    I forgot about the KAM, yeah it was supercharged when I bought it, but the powerdyne gave me nothing but headaches and terrible gas mileage. I sold it and the guy who bought it claimed it blew up on him! What a nightmare. :nonono: I am going to mess with this thing one more time, thanks and...

    Im getting pissed...need help with idle

    Well the idle saga continues....it ran alright for a while just acted up every once in a while but it still idled around 1000 rpm, so I decided to see if I could reset the base idle again. Well I did the first couple steps with IAC screw backed out just a very slight bit and the idle went way...

    Im getting pissed...need help with idle

    Well it idles better now, but it still hangs a little bit. I realized that I reset the base idle with the IAC screw completed closed. I think I will try it again with that screw open. Now when I come to a stop it hangs a bit and I have to tap the gas so RPM will go up a bit then drop back down...

    Im getting pissed...need help with idle

    It is a BBK, It is closed all the way and the throttle stop screw is not even touching. the only other things I can think of are the MAF and timing. I haven't touched the timing in a long time, but I have seen stranger things happen. I have another maf laying around, but it is calibrated for...

    My car is doing some wierd crap

    This is probably way off, but when I changed the gauge faces in my foxbody, I broke the wire that goes to the battery light in the dash, which caused my alternator not to charge. That took me 3 days and 3 batteries to figure out. probably not related your problem but still amusing. good luck
