Hey
Scott;
Major woes. I would look for another shop to do my work in the
future. That, however,
does not solve the problems they have inflicted on
you. I understand there are some
places that will deliberately do this sort
of thing to have repeat buisness. I hope this
is not the case, and that you
get the gremlins out. Still, consider going elsewhere. (
Is the system bled
properly? Have you tried a speed bleeder and doing it
yourself?)

Me

kind,
helpful and generous, so I'm going to look up under the dash tomorrow

No clue, but I would
think so. I told Dick, he's that older SM I was
telling you about, that
after they put in the new booster to please check
and/or adjust the clutch
afterwards, as it just has been a handful to
drive. He said no problem,
and that they did adjust it a little, and
that they mechanic was very
pleased with the results.
Over lunch, I know notice my a/c won't kick on

No on either, don't know what I'm doing when it comes to

Subject: Team3S:
Hydracharging
Anyone heard much about this? Supposed to be coming out in
a month or
less. I read an article on them a couple of weeks ago in the
latest Sports
Compact mag. It's sort of a fluid pushed turbo charger. No lag,
meaning
low RPM boost. Extremely compact. Very effecient. Cheap. It's like
the
best of super & turbo charging.
All that was said was needed
for most applications was to move your
battery to the back of the car and the
hydracharger could fit there. Plus
their would be room for a fake battery
cover for stealth installs.
Could shave some serious time off the ole 1/4
for us turbos....

Remove one of the panels below the air dam

manually lower the front air dam and then retract it
with button in

both or one was working only.

I
think this is normal. At least it's what mine does and I love it!
When
the engine is cold, it blows the cold air at the windshield instead
of at me
(red defrost). Then, when the engine warms up, it sends warm
air to my
feet (red feet). Finally, when the interior is at the
specified
temperature, it will continue blowing warm air at my feet as
well as some
cool, fresh air out the dash (red feet, blue torso). I can
also get it
to blow warm air on my feet and out the dash (red feet, red
torse) when it's
really cold out. Note that the fan is also
automatically adjusted the
entire time as well.
I, too, avoid using the A/C but like to leave it in
the automatic mode.
To do this I simply press Auto followed by Econ
twice. My understanding
is that when you press Auto, it is in fully
automatic mode and the A/C
is used at all times. Pressing Econ will
leave it in auto mode (though
the auto indicator will go out) and the A/C
will only be used when
needed. Pressing Econ the second time still
leaves it in auto mode but
the A/C is disabled. Pressing Mode or the
fan speed buttons takes it
OUT of auto mode. Someone will correct me if
I'm wrong, but this is how
mine seems to work. I think it's
great! Now if only I could figure out
how to install one in my other
vehicles...

Yep, my 3000GT does this too. To be a little bit more
specific, when the engine
heats up the direction changes to the last choosen

Yep, this is how it works and I

I just wish the fan would blow somewhat slower as the
lowest step is already too
much (for me).

Team3S: Trany leak
I noticed a spot on the garage floor yesterday. Rolled
the car up on
the ramps and looked under the car. The trans had a light film
of oil
on it near where the right front axle comes out but on the bottom
of
the trans. Thick oil like gear oil, not much quantity, but it had
mixed
with under coat over spray. I couldn't see where the oil was
coming from but
if had blown back onto the transfer case towards the
tail shaft. Most of the
oil was on the bottom of the transmission case
towards the passenger side of
the bell housing.
Where do I check for possible sources of the leak? I
cleaned the areas
where it had collected hoping to find the source easier if
the area
was clean to start with. I had problem with my Eclipse leaking from
a
breather near the clutch actuator but I can't see up that far at
this
point.
Also, this is a 96 VR4 with only 4600 miles, and the
manual
illustration isn't clear on indicating which is the drain and
filler
plugs for the trany. For the drain, it seems to be located on
the
passenger side of the case with an access hole in a plastic
splash
panel. The filler seems to be on the front of the trany about 2 -
3"
up from the pan. But it has an odd shape like it's a cap for
an
internal part. Both caps have a yellow inspection paint stripe on
them.
The transfer case caps are both painted red.
What am I into here guys?
New transmission time? I've got till the end
of the year on the 3 year /
30,000 mile warranty.
