Subject: Team3S:
driveline play
I'm installing my PST Carbon Fiber Driveshaft either tomorrow or Monday.
Does anyone know if there's anything besides just the carrier bearings in
the driveshaft that can cause driveline play? How about the two mating
points (transfer case and rear differential)... is there any possibility
that something in there could be worn out?
The reason I ask is because I'd hate to replace my driveshaft just to have
it fail again since there's play somewhere else.

Sorry for the downtime.
We had power issues in Texarkana..back OK now.

I had about .5 inches of rotation in my driveshaft (propeller shaft) before
my transfer case was replaced. It produced a noticeable clunk on shifts or
when going to reverse. Since the transfer case was replaced the clunk is
gone. I think, but have no way to prove, that the mating gears in the tc
were worn and caused the problem. Hope this helps.

Team3S: Electrical Problems
Hello guys,
Can anyone recommend some good reading material for electrical
troubleshooting? Keep in mind that the person who will be reading
this knows pretty much "notta" about electrical stuff.
I recently purchased a multimeter, a users handbook for it, and I ordered
the shop repair manual (on cd) for my VR-4. I would now like to find
something to explain to me the basics of it all. Thanks for the
help.

Team3S: Clutch pedal adjustment?
Hey Guys,
My clutch pedal in my 93 VR4 seems to have about 1-1.5 inches of play
before I actually feel pressure on my foot. Is this normal or can I
adjust the slop out of it?
Also my clutch pedal seems a tad stiff , Is this normal for the VR4.
OR
does this mean there is something wrong with the fluid?
thanks

The transfer case only has about 30,000 miles on it in my car. Is there any
way that it could have play in it yet?
And while I'm here I have another question regarding the mounting of the
CFDS. The side with the 4 bolts goes on the rear diff and the side with
the spline goes into the transfer case... correct?

Sounds like your Clutch Pressure Plate may need to be checked out, normal
wear and tear on them deteriorate the plate over time, if it was an
instant change, however, it could possibly be something more
serious.

Team3S: engine miss at 2900 to 3100 rpm
I have a 91 VR4, it misses or sputters at 2900 to 3100 rpms. If you run
thru the gears it doesn't happen, but if your just cruisin and keep it
between those rpms it misses. The mods I've done to the car is K&N
filter, blitz sbcid controller, stillen down pipe, borla exhaust, supra fuel
pump, DN y-pipe, ekg fuel line, turbo xs blow off valve, magnecor 100
wires, iridium denso plugs gap 32, any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pete
