well guys, i got the new valve body in and everything is perfect. i just wanted to thank you guys for all the help.

pb blaster works wonders. i use a big clamp or a socket that it the same size or slightly smaller than the cap itself and lay the driveshaft in the grass. hold the socket on the cap and whack it with a big hammer.

from everything i have read its 3 oz per 10 gallons. so even if you added 10 gallons on top of 5 gallons still in the tank you would still add 3 oz. i think the proper amount in your gasoline is something like .234 % of the gasoline in your tank. you just calculate how much acetone to put in...

why would you dig up a thread that is almost 2 years old?

ive got a c4 in my car (well, its in there and ive driven it probably 30 miles since its been in) and there is no way you could go on a road trip with it...unless you had a huge cooler and a very low stall. people drove around for years without overdrive so its very easy to do. ive just got a...

i just got done reading a little bit about acetone in the gas tank and a lot of people have had great results with it. most people that are in an area that have high levels of ethanol in the gas see very little if no improvement in gas mileage. so check to see if the gas you are using has...

just rebuild the t-5 and get a different clutch. ive got a buddy that has an 89 saleen with a stock t5 with stock shifter making 435 hp and his tranny shifts prefectly. his clutch is slipping now, but he doesnt know how long it has been in the car or what kind it is (he has owned the car for 4...

ive got them and dont have any problems with them at all. i used to be able to rev the motor up and dump the clutch and the tires would break loose for a split second and than grab. i like them alot

well now i just have to call holcomb tomorrow and see which one they think is better. the cooler i have is probably big enough, but ill probably end up buying a bigger one anyways, just to make sure. gonna take it up to work once i get it running and flush the tranny also. thanks for all the...

so whats up? PA, dynamic, or someone else? im not gonna spend a lot of money on this because its just a street car until i get done with school. i dont want to buy a POS that im going to have to replace in the near future either. i want something that the car is going to be able to grow...

how much are we talking for a dynamic valve body. i dont need a trans brake or anything fancy. just a manual valve body. i can get a PA for 180 from summit and holcomb motorsports. im not gonna spend 300 bucks on a manual valve body just for customer service. but if they are that much...

yeah, i talked to a few tranny shops around and they all said tci valve bodies were kind of junk. gonna start looking for a PA valve body i guess

carolina mustang is in downtown cary. nice guys, they know their stuff, but are sort of old school in their knowledge. it doesnt seem that they stay too current

ive always heard that tci is a good company. might have to find another brand after that story. what brand do you run in the car now? im not looking for a fancy valve body, just something that is strong and works. no trans-brakes

"durometrically-sandwiched fastener"<--- now that is a 5 dollar phrase right there. i could have sworn we were talking about the space shuttle for a second. haha, i do it the same way hissin does it. kind of difficult to do when the car is sitting on the ground....but it can be done

well the crack is on the outside of one of the bolt holes. and the bolt i put in is pushing the two halves of he valve body apart. so im about 99.99% sure that this is the problem. im gonna take a look at it tomorrow at work and see if i cant fix it. if not, ill be getting a tci full manual...

ttt

well i think i found out my problem with the c4. the valve body has a hair line crack in it where one of the bolts goes through and it doesnt seal all the way. and im the one who put tapped the hole and put the bolt in there, so i guess its my fault. oh well...ill see what i can do to it...

no oil in the intake....pcv isnt pulling any oil because ive got one of thost catch cans inline with the pcv valve and it has no oil in it. he told me its just the type of rings that he gets. i dont remember the part number, but they are sealed power rings

sorry, maybe i misphrased what i meant to say. it doesnt smoke until you really get on it, but it does use a little bit of oil. its used maybe a quart since the initial break in
