    Quick Tranny Question

    Nevermind, I was running on 7 cylinders... *SMACK* Everything feels perfect now.

    Quick Tranny Question

    Alright everything is in and it seems to drive alright. The following is normal clutch chatter, though, right?: There's jerking engaging into a gear, especially higher gears at low speeds. Say I'm in 3rd gear at about 25mph, and give it some gas...there is fairly violent jerking from the...

    Quick Tranny Question

    Thanks for the reply. I just got done dropping the tranny again, only to find that everything looks okay :shrug:. I was kinda hoping that I'd find a problem. The pilot bearing seems to be in place and there was grease on the very tip of the imput shaft where it went into the bearing, so...

    Quick Tranny Question

    I've been working on the vert for the past couple days putting a new clutch in. I've done it before, but this time the tranny had trouble sliding in the last inch or so. I know this has been posted before, to have someone push the pedal in and it will slide the rest of the way, but that only...

    *photochop* Anybody make a bodykit like THIS?

    That actually doesn't look half bad but I'd like to keep a foxbody a foxbody. I usually first recognize one by the headlights.

    Thoughts on the FRPP King Cobra clutch?

    I have a KC in my LX and I absolutely love it. My vert has a spec1 in it and it's total crap...It's fairly new but it chatters, stinks, SLIPS, and is starting to get extremely stiff. It is toast, basically. I'm going to install a KC in it this weekend. I just put a brand new cable in the LX...

    Door hinge pin and bushing replacement

    It really depends on how rusted they are. The bottom one is usually harder to do. I cut the pin in half with a dremel, hammered a big flathead screwdriver in between the cut to separate them and break them loose. Then you can usually hammer each side out with a big punch.

    Electrical (fuse?) problem - Headlights and Audio

    Well there we go. The 16ga fusible link that controls the lamps and audio was completely toasted. I linked that back up and all is well now...is that alright if I just twisted it back together? Thanks guys.

    Electrical (fuse?) problem - Headlights and Audio

    Alright well I took the fuse panel out to inspect the wires behind them, and found the two thick black/orange wires were severed and shorting against something, so I reconnected those, but the headlights and audio still don't work. I checked all the fuses and they're straight. What could be...

    Electrical (fuse?) problem - Headlights and Audio

    I bumped the fuse box when I was changing out clutch quadrants under the dash, and it started smoking yellow at both the fuse box and the + battery terminal. The terminal is oxidized, and neither the headlights, sidemarkers, taillights, or audio headunit work now. Do you think I blew a couple...

    Clutch Cable - Can't get back on

    It did work. Regardless of how the cable is routed, the length of cable exposed from the insulation will be the same. By cutting the insulation back, I was able to 'lengthen' the exposed part of the cable to give me more slack with adjustability. Now don't ask me why I needed to do...

    Clutch Cable - Can't get back on

    I tried the old cable too, it is the same length. I'm going to try my luck at stripping the insulation down about 1" to see what that does for me.

    Clutch Cable - Can't get back on

    Maybe I can modify the cable to release more slack? Perhaps "strip" the insulation down and replace the plastic that goes over it?

    Clutch Cable - Can't get back on

    The cable is routed the same, but I've come to find out that the cable routing doesn't even matter. The two ends ultimately end at the same spot anyway, so regardless of how the cable is routed, it will be the same length.

    Clutch Cable - Can't get back on

    Alright...here's the problem as it stands: I've got an out-of-commission LX and a daily-driver vert GT. The LX has a MM quadrant, MM firewall adjuster, and new stock cable. I took those out and transfered them over to the GT, but the cable is STILL to short to accommodate any type of...

    Clutch Cable - Can't get back on

    Well I FINALLY pried the cable back on to the fork, but I've run into another problem. The stock quadrant fails to self-adjust. Pulling the pedal up doesn't do anything. Now, the clutch is disengaged even when the pedal is all the way up. Perfect. Anyone know how I can get that stock...

    Clutch Cable - Can't get back on

    Stock everything. The cable knob is about 3" away from the fork, and the clutch is stiff as hell. :bs:

    Clutch Cable - Can't get back on

    I'm swapping out the clutch cable and having a world of trouble getting it back on the fork. I've tried prying it and I can't get any leverage; the exhaust is still in. It seems as though the fork will have to come all the way foreward to get the cable back on; and theres no way in hell I'll...
