Hi Roger
I see you on the TMO list talking
about 3000s. We have a fairly new
3000GT 5 speed transmission for sale. One
of our customers is selling it. It is
the Getrag, does not have the transfer
case. He wants $1500 for it.
Numbers on it are W5MG1-0-FNBR

I don't know if anyone is interested in
this tranny, but if anyone is, be
sure to count the splines on your transfer
case beforehand. There are a
variety of transfer case/tranny
assemblies that Mitsu and Dodge used on our
AWD cars. Some have 18
splines, others have 21 and 23 splines. Just a word
of
caution.
Joe.

for someone really "in the

I'm still in a quandry as to what the pin functions for my ECU

are, since I've been told that my '95 VR-4 probably has a hybrid
ECU,
perhaps not conforming to the pin-functions of either an OBD1
or
OBD2. Hell, I found a diagram in the APEXi book that exatly
replicates
the Mitsubishi diagram in my OEM shop manual, so I'm gonna
assume
they're compatible, and go ahead and wire it this way.
My last
problem regarding hooking up the hardware is where to
penetrate the firewall
with the wiring. Any Ideas?

Joe;
Thanks for the
heads up. It can become a real bumber for the unware buyer in
such a
circumstance, and people like you are what make this group famous.
Thanks
for those who didn't know.

You have a "quasi ODB-II". Strange, but it uses the same protocol
as the
ODBII cars but needs a special scanner hardware to read the codes from
the
ECU.

Exactly ! But the pin layout should be the same
of your year and the full
ODB-II years.

The wires should not be a problem at all.

Team3S: engine squeaks when it rains
Hi All,
My engine squeaks when it
rains. A very slight, high pitched sound
which goes away after
5-10 minutes. Sounds like it is coming from the
area of the belts.
I
used to notice this problem when it rained, but before I could
diagnose it
the dry season started. It has not rained here for at least
four
months. Last night we got some rain and this morning the
engine
squeaked. The car ('92 VR4 TT no mods) is kept in a garage at
home and
under cover at work. It did not even get wet, so it must be a
humidity
issue rather than something getting soaked.
I am hoping that
someone here has experienced this and has a solution
or
explanation.
Thanks,
John

It is either the belts need
tightened/replaced or a tensioner that has a
bad
bearing.

Team3S: Engine Coolant Light
Having a problem with my VR-4. I am
going through about a gallon of
anti-freeze every 3 days. I have a
completely dry garage and absolutely no
leaks that I can find with the motor
idleing. My first suspiscion would be
a water pump, but in my not
knowing what to look for, as I have no clue
where it is. Not familiar
with breaking down the motor in these cars?
Anyone else have this
problem? Can't find any breaks in the radiator lines
I don't know what
else to look for. Also the a/c warning light comes on
intermittantly
and when I start it up, have no a/c. Kill the motor and
restart and the
a/c is fine.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

Coolant Light
Gabriel, Sometimes the loss of engine coolant with no
visible sign of a
leak can be attributied to a blown head gasket or cracked
head. The coolant
is vaporized in the combustion process.
check
your spark plugs for an even burn pattern between all the plugs. If
you
find one that looks exceptionally clean compared to the others, it may
lead
to the problem.

Woah....that interlude music nearly lulled me to sleep
while I was waiting
for activity here.
Question; Was the CD trunk
stacker an option in 92? Nah, I really wasn't
asking that was I, I
really wanted to know if you Spearco guys have really
stopped detonation with
your setup?? I'll accept answers for either or both.
