sorry fellas, i don't really backfire.
either i might be running on the leaner side of the A/F ratio,
or, maybe the spark plugs is doing it's job combusting.


as for the starter DK,
i think i have 1 more in my garage.
if you're in the area, hit me up.
i remember jaime giving a total of 3 TII starters i believe...
1 that's on my car, one i that i gave you, then another one i find under the rubble of N/A drivetrain-ness.


other than that, congrats on your mAd DoRiFtO F-Cizzle.
now it's zerox7's turn to see what's up.

How come u dont hold the key longer??? Did you try atf yet??? Its gurantee to work !!! I got a silicone hose and dipped it in atf ,pluged the other side and inject it into the spark plug holes and blow in the hose with ur mouth, and then rotate the motor by hand and inject more on each face front and rear. It will give it much compression to start !!!!

Bad grounds will also cause slow starting.

Himeh, have you checked for vacuum leaks?

alrite it was able to start on its own today, i guess the compression is building up. I started it with just the starter instead of pop starting. I let it idle for an hour and then [by the end of the hour] oil was slowly driping out of the oil cooler where the oil cooler line bolts too, and one return fuel lines is bad, its leaking fuel slowly down the front of the tranny. So i shut off the car and now its just chillin.. When it cools ill Tighten the oil line and replace the fuel line...

yeah i bleed it.. i think its my pilot bearing...It disengaes but not all the way. The hydrolics are fine. The clutch and pressure plate was decent, but iremember the clutch fork and pilot bearing looked bad..
damn i need to replace my whole clutch asssembly.... whats easiers pull the motor out or pull the tranny out???

I remember awhile ago when I would drive my t2 hard in the mountains, after the run my tranny would get hot and id get stuck in neutral, until it cools down I could shift out of it...Now its worst, now its full time stuck in neutral when the engine is running, sometimes I can slam it into first with force, so I think its only partialy disengaging...

Acid angel explained to me why its so much blue smoke, its because when I premixed, I put too much oil, so its just burning up alot of premixed oil. I think thats good for break in... il put a bit less next time..

when i modded my tail lights I accidently melted where the bulb goesin, so I have to gind it out abit to fit the bulbs back in. Fail again lol. Iwas just so concentrated on the engine stuff that I forgot to fix the tail light.

My friend that recorded the flame said he felt the flame/force hit him in the chest from where h was recording. shitz intense. Icant wait till I fix the clutch and break in the motor then driftevent!

PULLED the tranny out.. It was a pain... since im by myself, had to muscle bench press it out.. lol and i forgot to drain the fluid so all this fluid spilled lol. damn

Ifigured the problem. As soon as I pulled the tranny out the bearing from the clutch fork just came out. And the clutch fork was loose because the springwasnt holding it. So this was the culprit why my clutch wasnt disengaging all the way.


installed it back in, and now everything is perfect again. cleaned the tranny too..

another problem i discovered..when JPR installed my tranny, they use the NA mount and so the tranny dampener isnt even bolted in to the tranny mounts, its just bolted in the middle of the trannys ball thing.. dont trust JPR.

how did u blow it? wasnt it less than 30k?? damn man........

The tranny is heavy, I cant bench press it back up by myself... My jackstands dont go that high for enough room for me to be under my tranny and press it back up...damn... I tried using a jack, but I need another one to lift it up ..
