  Well,not only is the transfer case leaking like hell, now the 2nd gear
sync.has gone south on me.I haven't even had the nerve to shift hard,as
the transfer case had been welded,and all of at once it won't go into
2nd without grinding,unless I'm under 30mph,then it shifts fine,up or
down.Guess thats what I get for buying a used trans and transfer,with
the only guaranty being that it wasn't a piece of shit!Damn I hate to
pull it again,but maybe I can make a good one out of my old one and this
breaking one.Might have to nurse it trough the winter tough as it's
gonna be a front yard job this time.Wish I didn't love these cars so
much,I'm getting sick of this crap!

Subject: Team3S: HELP!  Really High Idle

OK, well the lady has been giving problems all along now this new one showed
up :(     If I start the car with the throttle body bypass valve plugged she
fires right up but idles at almost 2K, on the other hand if I do not plug
it, she starts but runs absolutely lousy (really rough idle) and then stalls
out. 

Please Help,  I have replaced all the vacuum hoses with Silicone Hose (this
was done after the problem appeared) I also replaced the ISC to no avail  :(

My next thought is to replace the TB with the Dynamic Racing/RE Engineering
Bog Bore Unit.....  $250

Thanks

Subject: Team3S: brake upgrade for a N/T R/T

First and formost..I do not have the resources to search through the
archives and need advice soon...I have a 93 NA R/T and now a totalled
92 TT sitting on the side of house...my intension is to rape the
brake system off of this TT and put it on my R/T. now this is for the
pro's who know....It's not like I can just take the caliper off
..with rotor and slap it on my car can I. I see no reason to change
the mastercylinder and stainless brake lines are on the "gonna get me
some" shelf but other than rotor and caliper what else do I need? is
there a braket on the strut or something....I am going to take the
pieces off then ship the car off but wont get into conversion till
december when the springs go on...so I need to know...please...do I
need the struts and other pieces...and being a TT AWD AWS is this
even compatable?

thanks for the help in advance....I will hit the archives tonight at
home but want to know where to start and what to look for...all I hit
last time was those lobster kits......

Steering knuckles, Calipers, Rotors.

I would also go ahead and grab the entire brake line...

Why the steering knuckles?  Is the attachment point for the calipers
different on the NA?

(Inquiring minds want to know)

Permatex Belt Dressing $2.49 for a little can.  There is no more squeaking.
I inspected both belts befoire.  Couldn't figure out how to get my tension
tester on the generator drive belt, but the tension in the power steering
belt was normal for a used belt.  Added bonus - the power steering works
better.  The belt dressing is sprayed on the working side of the belt with
the engine running.  You let the car idle for a while to let the dressing
"cure".  It makes a gummy mess all over tthe belt and anything else it gets
on.  Also, I'm saving up to have these belts replaced.  The generator belt
has crakes on the underside, althought the power steering belt looks new.
Possibily, they didn't replace the generator drive belt when they did the
timing belt replacement at 60K.  I've had the car three years and the
mileage is now about 93K.

When I was considering putting TT brakes on my NT, Geoff told me that I'd
need to get TT/VR4 front hubs in order to get things to fit.  I don't know
if he saw your post, but Geoff might have an idea or two.  You never
mentioned if you had ABS on either car - I don't know if that makes a
difference when trying to mix'n'match...

Subject: Team3S: 6 Speed Conversion Problems

I have recently tried to do the 5 to 6 speed conversion on my 92 Stealth TT
and I am having some problems with the shifting.  It is very difficult to
get it to go into the 6 forward gears and I can't get it into reverse at
all.  I have the 6 spd tranny (brand new from Kormex), transfer case, front
driveshaft piece, differential, lower radiator hose, and shifter cables.
The new tranny did not come with some parts so I re-used those parts from my
old five spd: shifter cable mount bracket & L-shaped control arm.  CAPS says
that the cable bracket is different on 5 & 6 speeds and I can't find the
L-shaped arm in the system.  I also reused the shifter assy.  The right side
shifter cable is not adjustable on the new cables for some reason but it was
on the 5 spd.  I can't find any interferences with the shift arm or control
levers except that the L-shaped arm hits the top of the counterweight when
it moves all the way forward.  Anyone have any suggestions as to what may be
causing my problems or what I should try?  Does anyone know the differences
between the 5 & 6 speed shifter, L-bracket, or cable bracket?  Thanks for
any help.

Brian Collins
