Both, good and bad. My PC
finally died a few daysago and I wasn't able to write
some more routines for
the Diag Tool until everything else was fixed. Now I'm
back with much more
power :)
The good thing is that the prototype works good but I cannot
test it as the car
is still sitting at the dealer. Also till today I'm not
sure how to create a
knock monitor that plugs onto the stock sensor
(microphone). I have to measure
out that thing but I doubt that it is
possible without a big work :(
I plan to create three different systems
that finally should be available to
everyone on an affordable price. Even
it's possible to creat a very small system
that only reads the voltages of
the sensors, translates them and sends the data
directly to a serial port of
any PC. This would be very cheap as no LCD and no
big case would be needed
(cheap, compared to what it does :).
I do not plan to create any Windows
Software as it's very easy to capture the
data sent out by the Diag Tool with
the help of a Terminal program. This data
can be stored as a text file and
directly opened by a spreadsheet program like
Excel.
I'll get my
ee-tools as well as backlit LCDs during the next days and will post
some
first pictures by the end of next week (prototype of course).
Cheers,
Roger

If synchro has too-slippery a
lubricant coat, it won't synchronize
efficiently and may then grind on rapid
shift. The synchros are that
sintered-bronze looking coating like
sandpaper, I thought that was
weird, coming from Borg Warner Super T-10/Nash
5-speeds in my Trans AM
whose syncros are machined brass rings with grooves
on inner aspect
mating against steel cone. I suppose both can work, but
Getrag's seem
to wear out sooner than I think they should.
2-->1
downshifts into corners too-hot is common and REALLY can force the
synchros
to do overtime, you can hear the thing screaming the receiving
gear up to
speed as you move the lever...alot of wear.

Team3S: Synchro replacement
Bob, Jack, et all;
Have you thought
(of course you have) of taking the synchro rings to an AMERICAN company
to
have the sandpaper-like brass surfacing reapplied? If the Germans found a
way to do
this when they built them, there has to be a way to redo it, or do
it better..as in your
notation of Borg Warner's solid brass
rings.

Subject: Team3S: High HP ACT
Clutch
Anyone using a custom ACT Clutch?
I think I'm going to replace
my new DF Centerforce with the ACT & I'd like to
here any opinions of its
users.
Can it be used in heavy traffic without a bionic
leg?
Thanks

Team3S: Re: High HP ACT Clutch
Arty,
I'm in the process of
installing the ACT clutch. There have been some
delays (from UPS)
on getting my transmission back from the rebuilt
shop, but hopefully I'll
have everything installed by the end of this
week. - I hope that
transmission appears some time soon!
I'll let you know about the ACT
clutch. By the way, which clutch disk
are you planing on
installing?

Pre-cat eliminators
I am about to have pre-cat eliminator housings
built. I have left them with
the builder and he doesn't see the big
deal. He has yet to determine a
price but is willing to give it a
shot. My car will be a guinea pig I
guess.
If successful, how
many people will commit to purchasing a set?
They will likely be ceramic
coated but it depends upon price.

Barry
