    Seafoam is teh *****!

    I Seafoamed the Mach two weeks back. I actually forgot to turn the car off for 5 minutes after dumping in a half can. Took the car out and ripped on it.. pretty good sized bomb came out. My girl was in the car too and sunk in her seat with embarrasment. :D

    California Emissions Test - Questions

    I've never been tested for this before. I doubt I'd have any trouble with measly flowmasters, but it's just one more reason for me to dislike this state. Pretty soon there will be horsepower restrictions too. :rolleyes:

    California Emissions Test - Questions

    I hear ya, but I did still have to pass the sniffer test. Basically my friend turned a blind eye to the simple engine mods I had. It makes me angry that you can fail smog by having illegal mods even while emitting "clean" exhaust, whereas an some smuck can be roaming around blowing black smoke...

    California Emissions Test - Questions

    Based on your signature, you'll fail visual because of your off-road pipe, plenum, and cold-air intake. I was appalled when it happened to me. Refusing to waste time wrenching off/on plenums and such, I found a "friend." ;)

    Tremec 3650 TSB results

    I had the TSB done. When I got the car back it shifted pretty rough, and 3rd gear was grinding. I wasn't happy. A day later I checked the tranny fluid.. removing the fill plug, nearly a half quart of fluid came out of the tranny. :shock: I've read in a few places that Tremec now recommends...

    spring isolators

    Nothing wrong here; the rings go on the top of the spring and the tubes slide onto the bottom. :nice:

    Installing TriAx without shifter stops..

    +1 for no stops; I took them out of my Tri-Ax. I left the stops in when I had the T45 though.

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    I also had the TSB done. Initially had a new 3rd gear grind, but I was able to fix that by lowering the fluid level to 3.2 & changing to the cheapy fluid. When I pulled the fill plug off the tranny, A LOT of fluid poured out! :shock: Obviously it was overfilled. I'm with ya on the noise...

    cutting stock springs? cut coils from top or bottom?

    I cut 1 1/4" off the stockers and dropped just over an inch.

    Just how loud is your Tri-Ax?

    I dunno about the medium handle, since it will probably resemble my TriAx on the lower setting. I am curious about the Pro 5.0 using the stock handle though. If I end up doing that, this would mark the 4th shifter change on this car. :nonono: I'm hoping that if I hold out on the TriAx just a...

    cutting stock springs? cut coils from top or bottom?

    Eh? :scratch: If your cutting the front springs, cut from the bottom. If your cutting the rears, cut from the top. I know a lot of people here say not to cut springs, but as long as you cut without the use of heat it's not devastating to your ride quality. I cut 1 1/4 coils off of the front...

    Just how loud is your Tri-Ax?

    Yup.. I did all of that. I removed the stop bolts completely, stretched the rubber boot around the Tri-Ax base, put the dust cover boot over that, and installed the stock shift lever with rubber and I'm still hearing all of the ruckus. I can even hear the Tri-Ax humming under the car at idle a...

    Just how loud is your Tri-Ax?

    My Tri-Ax is pretty noisy! Throughout all the gears, I can hear the "whirring" of the transmission - especially as the RPM's climb. Just now on the highway in 4th gear, I had an occasional loud scratching sound. I know the Tri-Ax is the louder of the bunch, but I've mounted the stock shift...

    4.10s and driveline vibes

    I ran the stock driveshaft with 4.10's. I experienced some vibes over 90, and some while coasting downhill. It was never enough vibration to bother me, but slightly noticeable nonetheless. An aluminum driveshaft would have helped, but I never got around to it.

    Springs without isolators

    Maintain at least one isolator on the front & back spring - preferrably the rear lower isolator, and the top front isolator. Noise wasn't an issue in my case, but running no isolators caused a harsh ride quality.

    Put my c springs in yesterday!!

    I've done a few spring jobs, and rarely have I seen more than a .025" difference in ride height following the "settling" of new springs. Even if your car does lower more than this, your still likely going to have to take further action to level out your car. Your options: *Put the stock...
