OK GUYS....I
don't know what's going on with my email, but I'm not sure
what happened to
the SECOND mail I sent(the first one was mistakenly HTML
encoded and got
bounced) BUT, here are the links to those drawings that I
made up while
chaning my stereo over a couple of years ago.
Feel free to ask
questions.
If they don't show up as links in your email client, just
copy and paste
these into your
browser.................................

Team3S: Clutch slave cylinder upgrade & turbo question.
I told you
guys I would report back on the results of installing the
upgraded (larger
length & diameter) slave cylinder on the clutch of my '95
3000GT VR4. The
object was to improve the shifting on my 6-speed Gertag
transmission.
I
know you are all surprised to hear of someone having problems with
one of
these transmissions, but it is true. At 75,000 miles it was getting
harder
than usual (I believe it is described as notchy) to shift and
sometimes
difficult just to get into 1st and/or reverse. I am used to
American muscle
car transmissions so my Gertag has been a disappointment
thus far for being
able to Speed and/or load shift (change gears with out
taking your foot off
the gas).
The first thing I tried was using a Valvoline synthetic
lubricant
mixed with the lubricant enhancer from Mitsubishi.
This provided
a little improvement with the shifting while moving but did
not help with
putting it into 1st and/or reverse. Before you start flaming
me I have
Redline on order to replace the Valvoline.
The next thing I tried was
installing a larger slave cylinder in the
clutch system. This didn't help as
much as the adjustments the mechanic made
to the shifter mechanism. Once
again slight improvement but not the desired
result.
The next step on the
clutch is to eliminate the "anti-dumping" valve
on the hose to the slave to
allow it to react faster to the pressure from
the master cylinder. This
should help improve the shifting by virtue of the
fact that the clutch will
react faster to the motion of the clutch pedal.
Plus we are going to replace
the stock bushings in the shifter mechanism
with machined delrin bushings. In
addition the mechanic (Rob York) is going
to try a design change on the
shifter mechanism itself.
More to follow as we see if I can get the Gertag to
shift like what
I'm used to in 'vetes, Cameros, Mustangs, etc.

Next subject:
While
working on my car Rob found a restriction "pod" on the vacuum
line that runs
to my turbos (wastegate ?) He removed it and it made a
substantial
improvement. One of the other guys that works with him says he
removed the
same thing from his Eclipse and his 3000GT VR4.
Question why does Mitsubishi
equip these cars with equipment that
keeps the engine or clutch from
operating to it's full potential ?

Subject: Team3S: Snow
Tires
I realize that this is not the time of year to consider snow tires
but I'm
trying to decide what to do next. I have a Jeep Cherokee that
is leased and
goes back to the lesser at the end of the month. It has
P215-75R15 studded
snow tires on it. The lease company does not want
the tires. I've kept my
95 Stealth R/T in the garage for the last few
years. I've decided to drive
it next winter. If I buy a set of
OEM 15 x 6 steel wheels will the snow
tires off the Jeep fit?
If I can
then does anybody have a set of wheels that they'd like to sell at
a
reasonable price?
If not then I'll sell the snow tires.

Greedy EGT Gauge?
Everyone,
I have a question about my Greedy EGT
Gauge for those that have this unit
installed:
My EGT gauge is almost
completely installed. It's mounted in the A-pillar
and the temp probe
is in the front exhaust manifold.
There are four wires which need
connections to the car wiring system:
RED: 12V Power source line
(+)
ORANGE: Ignition line (+)
WHITE: Parking Light Source (+)
BLACK:
Ground (-)
So far I have connected the WHITE and BLACK wires to the
dimmer switch.
Which wires from underneath the dashboard did you connect
the RED and ORANGE
wires?

Re: Team3S: Greedy EGT Gauge?
I connected all my gauges' (including 2
GReddy EGT) ignition-switched
(IG1) 12V wires (the orange one) to pin 4 of
C-59 (black w/ white
stripe) and the battery-sourced 12V wires (the red one)
to pin 6 of
C-59 (white). C-59 is the Ignition Switch connector under
the
steering column covers. Look in the Electrical volume of the
Service
Manual in the Power Distribution Circuit Diagram for
pin
identification.
I was hesitant to connect the ground wire to the
rheostat (D-40)
because the rheo varies resistance to ground. This is fine
for a
light only, but I wasn't sure how it might affect other functions
of
the gauge. I did connect all gauge light wires to pin 4 on
D-40
though.

Team3S: Coolant Reserve Tank
Hello list members. I'm sure this is a
stupid question, but I will ask anyway:
On the coolant reserve tank,
there are two pipes connected to the cap. One of
them comes from the engine
to it can vacuum out more coolant if the engine is
low. The other one is
just hanging out on my car. I'm assuming that this
other pipe is supposed to
be hanging out so it can dump out any extra coolant
- --- am I right about
this? Is it just supposed to be hanging out or is it
supposed to be
connected to something?
Thank You.

Team3S: FireWires?
Has anyone tried the crane FIREWIRES spark plug
wires? I saw posts a mopnth ago from someone who was going to buy a set
and I wanted to know how it worked out.
I know that magnecor has the best
reputation but $130+ for spark plug wires is hard to swallow.

AFAIK, there is no set that fit our cars. Let us know if you
know more about
that.

The tires will fit the wheels but not the wheels to any

Do you mean that OEM 15" Stealth wheels won't fit on an
