    Clutch Grind?

    Stud ball The Stud ball had back out of the clutch cover housing pushing the fork closer to the pressure plate. Eventually it gets close enough to drag on the top of the pressure plate. Unfortunately, the tranny has to come out to tread the ball stud back in place - at that point, you might...

    Clutch fork grinding on pressure plate!$?

    C4 LT1 6-Speed manual. Just started grinding noise when clutch pushed to floor. If you ease off, grinding noise goes away. Shifts in all gears fine, no slipping or hard shifting and no noise. Just the grind noise if clutch pushed to floor (of course this happens when not extremely careful). OK...

    Clutch Grind?

    Grind is metal to metal and only during the last 3/4 inch to the floor of clutch pedal travel. As soon as you ease back off - stops grinding. Shifts smoothly long before that last inch of clutch pedal travel, just cannot push it to floorboard without the grind which cannot be a good thing. No...

    OIL PRESSURE - $50 or $20

    Oil Pressure Gauge Pegged HI

    This sounds good in theory, but something must have made the needle spike to to HI side and I should probably try to solve that first. Would you recommend changing out the three wire large vertical sensor first? thanks.

    Oil Pressure Gauge Pegged HI

    With the connector off, ignition off, the guage rests at 80, ignition to run and the guage pegs to HI side, start engine, guage stays at HI side. driving and shifting, it stays pegged out with connector disconnected (same as when connected). There are three wire to this connector that run...

    92 6-Spd Hypertech Chip

    I have a 92 6-Spd with stock exhaust and engine, 60K miles. Would I actually get any fuel economy from installing a hypertech thermomaster chip and thermostat? Would it cause me more problems then it is worth??? Thanks.
