6-speed transmission in 1st Gen?
This was just discussed a few messages
back, but here it is anyway.
You'll need at least:
- - new shift
linkage, possibly new shifter but older one *may* work (I know
the throw is
different)
- - new or modifed drive shaft
- - new transfer case
- - new
rear differential
In short, pretty much everything from the transmission
on back.
Brad Bedell has done this.

Re: head porting advice
Those are baseline cfm as measured on a flowbench
before porting.
Stock cam info is in the service manual. There may
be a few profiles
available from small places but nothing in commodity or
with anything that
backs them up. The Bozz Speed cams (last I *heard*)
didn't work and were
being redone. Brian of GT Alley infamy allegedly
had cams but he refused or
was unable to offer any details about them
whatsoever. Vapor-ware and
automobiles don't go well
together.
New billets (if you had a profile to cut) will cost upwards of
$3000 for the
first few. You can have regrinds done for about $50 a
stick if you know
what you want.

More info on this item as follows due to confusion:
In
order to use this model you need to buy or intend to use the HKS VPC.
This is
not the modified version of the Mega Flow that you added onto later
as you
made more upgrades.
This was specifically designed to use knowing in advance
that you were a
speed freak and going all the way to the VPC with no
compromises :) Every
once of flow has been designed into this intake knowing
the Mas-Air Unit is
removed for the VPC.
When you really need it, I have
it available. HKS actually makes 3 models.
This is the Maximum

The rust color
is normal. It is actually clutch dust. When my warranty
company
saw it the first time they said it was rust and that they would not
cover
it. Then we found out that it was clutch dust and the shaft
was
covered.
FYI- the shaft is the same size but the number of teeth
are 25 compared to
the 18 on the newer model. The 18 teeth give it more
strength.
This was the exact problem with my 92 VR4. The shaft was
around $600.00 or
$700. If you call Cottman Transmission in Northglenn
and ask for Glenn, he
might be able to tell you where to get it. He
sometimes likes to keep his
sources to himself.
His phone number is
303-451-8900. He knows my car so mention it when you
speak to him. I
have a 92 Red VR4.

RE: Team3S: Who makes spline shaft for tranny/transfer case?
Sorry Moe,
but I don't want mis-information to get out there.
Sometime in '93 I
believe, they "upgraded" the output shaft to a larger
shaft (25 splines) and
have used it through '99. The earlier output shafts
were smaller
diameter and had less splines (18). You can no longer get new
trannys
with small output shafts. So, if you need a new tranny but your xfer
case is
ok, you will still have to replace both. Unless, you can get a good
used or "rebuilt" tranny.
The reason that I say "upgraded" is that
some have said that with the
smaller splines on the larger shaft, they tend
to strip easier.

Thank goodness I haven't
had any problems with my transmission or transfer
case but I recall reading
some where, it may have been here, that a spline
shaft from a Ford Range PU
would work. Does anyone recall seeing this or
know anything about
it?
I thought it needed a little re-working, maybe cut down a bit but
the
general consensus was that it would work better and be stronger. If
this is
true you maybe able to try something like that and save some big
bucks.

Re: Team3S: Who makes spline shaft for tranny/transfer case?

Sounds normal
to me, I would expect to see wear after 30k miles. If wear
is
excessive, you may want to replace the shaft. The Kormex upgrade
supposedly uses
a higher hardness material but they would not tell me
specifics (I do believe it
is superior to a stock unit, several have upgraded
to it without subsequent
problems). I do know they come from
Italy. It is also recommended that you
replace the coupler (female
spline in the transfer case) whenever replacing the
shaft (if one is worn,
the other is probably just as bad) . You must also make
sure you get
the correct coupler for your shaft, for instance, there are two
different
O.D. (outside diameter) couplers that mate with the 18 spline
shaft.
Installing the coupler requires a press and it must be done carefully,
not for
the first timer. Labor for the job can run just as much or more
than parts.
I'm using Auto Sports Unlimited in Grand Rapids, MI for my
work and it will cost
~$1,000 for a new shaft, coupler, and labor. They
can order some parts, have an
inventory of used parts, and a helpful crew of
guys working there. Kurt is very
familiar with our cars. Call
616-772-3876, ext. 18 (Kurt's extension).

about 3 yr (30k mi?) ago. It has the bigger shaft (25 or 26 tooth -

I've also heard as someone already stated that the 25 spline
doesn't hold-up as
well as the 18 spline. But not all 18 spline 5
speeds are equal, so buyer
beware.

Perhaps the Mitsu rebuilt starter is the problem...

I would avoid them at all
costs - I bought a clutch, it took them
forever to get the order together,
then trying to get it hear was a
nightmare. They charged me $40
shipping then and when I called them to
get it resolved they never did - I
ended up challenging the charge to my
Visa...
just my 2hp
though!

team3s@stealth-3000gt.stHello
all,
Has anyone used Apex R Motorsports? Their web site is
http://www.apexvr4.com/ .
They say they
are focused on the VR-4/Stealth Market.
I'm looking to purchase a Greddy
Profec A and Turbo Timer and so far
they have
the best price. I'm curious
though, their site lists a Greddy Turbo
Timer with
wiring harness ... no
other site (including Greddy's) lists a wiring
harness
specifically for
the VR-4... is this something I should worry about?
So, I need to know,
are they fast? and do they deliver what they
promise?
and Finally, which
wiring harness should I get for my VR-4 if I buy a
greddy
turbo
timer?
Thanks!
Nissa

Team3S: How does clutch (petal to disc) work?
Hello All
I've been
having problems with my clutch engagement recently, after my
tranny/transfer
was replaced, flywheel ground, and new clutch
installed. Once, it even
slipped out right to redline on a fair
launch...
Can anyone describe
how the hydraulics/vacuum boost etc work? I think
if I understand all
this I can try to fix my probs...
Thanks!

Team3S: RPS clutches for sale
I have two RPS clutches for sale. One
is a dual friction with a carbon and
organic disk, the other is a full
carbon.
Both pressure plates and disks are brand new. I
installed the carbon
clutch in the car about two months ago but have never
even started the car
Reason for selling: I ordered a twin
disk clutch.
Make me an offer on these clutches.
