Subject: Team3S: Won't Drive in Overdrive
***This is the NEW Team3S list. See message end for more info.***
I have a '93 Stealth ES with the automatic transmission (yea
I know a lot of you manual shifters will ras me but what can
I say, I'm lazy). The only problem it seems to have is when
the overdrive switch is engaged and it tries to shift in to
overdrive (4th gear). At that point it appears the
converter won't lock up. It acts just like it's in neutral
until I turn overdrive off then it returns to normal
operation. I suspect one of the control solenoids located
above the valve body is broken but I don't relish the
thought of removing the valve body to get to them. Has
anyone had similar symtoms and if so what was the fix?
P.S. I am not the original owner and have no way of knowing
what they may have put in this transmission. After reading
some stuff on the net and a service bulletin from chrysler
warning about using Dexron III (even as a top off) I drained
the pan and refilled with ATF 3+ . This didn't help, but in
retrospect I only got out around 5 qts (it holds around 8)
and I didn't use Mopar branded ATF 3+. Anyone (with a
similar experience) think using Mopar branded ATF 3+ would
help?
Thanks,
Rusty in KC

Members
***This is the NEW Team3S list. See message end for more info.***
Greetings once again!
We currently have a member working on a 'readers-rides' section
on the WWW,
which will soon be available as http://members.stealth3000gt.st/~gallery,
and at the same time I would like to announce that by 2.1.2000 I
will be
offering personal WWW space to Team3S members on the same WWW
server.
Initially there will be a 3Mb quota per user, as this wont be for
perosnal
WWW storage, but things concerning and benefiting the Team3S
environment.
Whether users want to collaborate and build communities on the
server is
totally up to all of you! *grin*
Information on how to request a WWW account on the server will be
coming
soon, and should also deliver by 2.1.2000.

***This is the NEW Team3S list. See message end for more info.***
Greetings one and all.
I have made some recent list performance work, and the speed of
the mailing
list should be phenomenal at this point.
At this time, once my server sees an incoming message, its back
out 100% to
the list in about 8-11 seconds. That includes digest
processing and
queuing.
Coming "soon" will be the ability to do WWW based
searches of the list
itself.

I don't have a part # because I got them used but I am positive
they sell
them. I don't think he'll remember me but Jay is the owner there.
I have
spoke to him and others about the camber kit on several
occasions. They even
faxed me an installation diagram becuase I didn't have one! I
even got
quoted a price for the camber kit before I got the used ones!
They do sell
them...
I do know that they have two types of sales people there. When I
asked about
the camber kits for the first time, the guy had no idea what I
was talking
about and had to refer me to someone else. He say he deals
with the
"street" guys and someone else delt with the race
guys......
here's there web address just in case.....

I bought the camber plates in Aug of last year --- no part number
just shows 93 stealth AWD, caster/camber plate, 4 bolt.
Talk to Tony at GC I've talked to him a couple of times about
my plates.
I do have a problem with the camber plates that has not been
resolved. There is a needle bearing at the top of the spring
retainer
that is chewing up the bearing race after a short number of
miles.
It doesn't affect operation but it does make for noisy springs.

How difficult are you finding those to install?
I know it takes some "precise" drilling.
Would it be something a technically-minded person like me should
tackle, or
should I have a competent speed-shop (One that caters to the SCCA
crowd) handle.
Thanks.

***This is the NEW Team3S list. See message end for more info.***
All,
I still cannot get my car to fire. I am really
baffled. The motor has
compression. There is spark. When I pull a plug it
has fuel on it so I
know the injectors are firing. However, when I crank the
motor it does not
fire. It does not cough or sputter or backfire or
anything. Totally dead.
Thank you to those who responded to my last post with your
suggestions.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Dave...
You must be getting pretty frustrated by now. I don't remember if
I posted
this, or if you already answered this question, but are you sure
you're not
180 degrees out of time?
Looking forward...Chris

Subject: Team3S: Bad gear syncs in 5-speed
***This is the NEW Team3S list. See message end for more info.***
I bought a '91 Stealth TT with a bad trans to restore. The
5-speed has bad
gear syncs and third is completely gone. The motor is in great
shape though.
What could cause this? How do you think the old owner drove this
car if the
trans is in such bad shape? Oh, by the way, transmissions are
hard to find,
and a new one is $4500-$5000.
I just want to know how the tranny was so badly damaged, with the
gear syncs
all shot. Do you think he was racing it or had bad
shifting/clutch timing
problems?
Tim

I think if he were 180 out, he would get some kind of back
firing,
and crashing of valves. What about the crankshaft
sensor. Maybe
it's so far off, that the the spark is not occurring at the right
time. I miss the good old days of distributors and points!

Yes, yes, and probably..yes.
There is some information floating around here on _probable_
rebuild kits we can
get.
Xwing on the list here will be able to tell you more, but you may
be the perfect
person to help out that exact cause..but donating your tranny to
have parts
built for it...that will benefit us all.
And..you would get a tranny back and fixed in the process I
believe.

There is NO crankshaft sensor. The sensor is on the #3
camshaft. Thanks
for the suggestion though.
