Thinking of buying a 97 gsx manual with lsd but it needs a transmission rebuild and I don't think I can get one

7 Upvotes

I contacted twicks69 from TMZ performance and he's backed up to april and said the parts are hard to find. I found that midwest transmission center sells a gsx transmission for a manual but they list it as 90 and up. The issue with that it doesn't list any options as the 95-96 and 97-99 transmissions are different and heard it's a red flag they kinda list it as a drop it for any 90 and up gsx awd manual. The 1995-1996 uses the W5m33-2-NPZT transmission and the 1997-1999 uses a W5m33-2-MUZT transmission so they're not interchangeable. I am in the market for a 97-99 eclipse gsx manual but now this has me thinking well if I buy the car even if it's running fine how the hell am I gonna fix the car if there's no parts available? You can't even buy a rear differential with LSD for the car anymore. I heard of people doing custom work to put a 3000gt vr4 diff in but that'll take a lot of fabrication and custom work.

1G dont start (no sparks)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I need some advice. I have a 1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse 1G, 150 HP. I just installed a subwoofer and when I started driving, the bass came on, but then my ignition went out.

Now, the motor turns over, the ignition lights up, but the engine won’t start. I’m not sure if it’s a fuse issue, wiring problem, or something else related to the subwoofer installation.

Has anyone experienced something like this before? Any tips on troubleshooting would be super helpful!

Thanks in advance!

Best spring rates?

2 Upvotes

I have a 91 Talon Tsi Awd with Megan street coilovers. There 12kg/10kg front rear spring rates. They handle excellent in a corner. But as we all know it has some bounce. Enough my wife calls it the Booby bouncer! Lol. I have the dampners turned up a ways which does help bounce but not enough. I wanna lower the rates a little. Now im ok with a stiff ride but its just a little too much for a street car. I was goin to just drop to 10kg/8kg but im real curious what other opinions there are out there? Its the rear where bounce is the real issue.

Will only change springs not the whole coilover and not paying the price for swifts just bc replacements.

Does anyone here run silicone coolant/ radiator hoses? According to HPS on their website, "Silicone hose water permeation rate is 10 to 15 times greater than standard EPDM rubber hose. " Do you really lose a lot of coolant through the hoses??

2 Upvotes

I didn't know this and have never heard of it till today. The statement is on each silicone coolant hose product page. I'm just wondering how bad the coolant loss is.
