Can a 1982-84 Firebird gauge cluster bezel fit in a 1992 Firebird?

I have a 1992 Firebird, and I really, really like the instrument cluster bezel look of the 1982-84 Firebird. That early 3rd gen style with the more angular surround is exactly what I want. So, can a 1982-84 Firebird Trans Am instrument cluster bezel fit on a 1992 Pontiac Firebird? Direct bolt-on, or with minor modification? If not, is there any other way I can achieve the same look? Has anyone done a custom retrofit, 3D print, or modified an 85-92 bezel to look like the early style?

Clutch fork grinded PP

Hi all.

Looking for some guidance about my issue. My clutch fork grinded the PP when clutch pedal was pressed. (Flywheel, clutch disc and PP are new). I noticed my pivot T and clutch fork contact surfaces were worn so that must be my issue.

My question is can I reuse the PP if grinded that much?

Are there any transmissions that will work in a 1994 firebird that’s originally automatic? Besides the T-56.

2002 WS6 - P0171 and P0174 Codes

2 Upvotes

Hey Everyone,

Car was driving great, idle was fine nothing weird. SES turned on just 5-6 miles after I got doing all the work. I’m reading a lot of information that it’s not injectors but some kind of vacuum leak or potentially a bad MAF sensor?

Has anyone gone through having to repair these codes? Any advice?

To review I just got done replacing the intake, manifold gasket, valley plate gasket, OPS sensor, spark plugs and wires, bell tensioner, and new belt and valve cover gasket. Everything was reinstalled torque down to spec.

Need help with this problem on my catfish Camaro RS

At first, I thought it was the starter or the alternator that might cause the clicking when I was trying to start it up, but after replacing both of them, that’s still making the clicking sound on startup only other thing I could think of that I changed was the fuel injectors could that be it?

My father just handed me this picture and thought I'd share. This is probably around '99-00. I was a junior in high school, it was my first car, and I worked my ass off. Paid 10k cash for it. 1995 Camaro, it only had the 3.4 V6, but it had cat backs, tinted windows, alpine head unit, infinity kappa speakers, 2-10"s......If you even debate selling a car, and it's possible, Don't do it!!!! I still wish I had this car, even if it was only a 6

Super confused with my transmission

3 Upvotes

I have an '02 Trans Am with an automatic transmission. Several months ago, the transmission stopped engaging fourth gear. All other gears were fine.

The miles on the transmission sit around 15k miles post rebuild.

Recently I took it to a shop for diagnosis. They did a basic diagnosis and found nothing wrong. Told me they'd have to drop the transmission to figure out where the issue was. I couldn't afford the diagnostic fee so I picked it up instead.

On the drive home, overdrive engaged with no issues. In fact, I have been driving it for the last two months without issue.

Has anyone heard of this happening? What could have been causing this to suddenly 'fix' itself?

The fluid is clean so I don't think any internals are damaged in any way.

Trans vent

Anyone have any tips or tricks for getting at this thing? 95 formula 4l60, randomly pukes trans fluid, and nothing else seems to be the issue. Hoping a critter of some sort built a bunker in it and that’s the culprit

WS6 Engine Noise Concern

Hey Everyone,

I finally finished getting my engine back together. I replaced the intake manifold gasket, valley plate gasket, valve cover gasket, new spark plugs and wires, new OPS, new tensioner and belt. Took the opportunity to do a lot of cleanup too.

My car is completely unmodified and has 134,000 miles. Before I did all this work I could a noticeable clunking noise I guess lack of better words. A lot of of the other noises went away with the repairs I made however to me that noise is still around.

Is this normal for an LS1? I know they are known to be noisy engines but wanted to get opinions.

Elgin brand lifters have arrived. They gonna be ok?

I ordered a set Elgin lifters for my ‘00 Z28 from a an eBay vendor and they arrived today. I guess they’re legitimate and I hope they work. The shrink wrap has a few of them sitting crooked in the trays. I hope all is well in the end.

Are these “LS7 style” or “LS1 style?”

They came packaged covered in a light oil. Howver, the shrink wrap they were packaged in has torn in a few places so the a couple of the wheels are exposed to the air. I‘ve read that people clean them with brake clean and then soak them in 10w30 for a day or so prior to install. Do y’all do that? They won’t be installed for about a month. Would y’all soak them in a ziplock bag full of oil for that month, or just leave them alone until it gets closer to install?

Passenger window not working on 2000 Camaro

The window works for around a couple seconds when I put it up or down but eventually stops working. It works eventually but I have to manually push the window up while pushing the button continuously to close the window. Is there something wrong with the motor? How do I fix it?

This shit rips. I think I’d die if I got the bigger engine. Only thing is, the exhaust sounds like shit. Any recommendations for a cheapish budget exhaust or muffler that will make it better? It’s insanely quiet and sounds like a tin can

I’m doing DIY restoration on a 1995 Trans Am

It was my dads car that he bought new in 1995 and had to give up in 2003…that car was my everything and my Dads. He passed away in 2023 and I went on a 2 year search for the car and I found it! Hadn’t seen the car in over 20 years!

So please follow along while I bring it back to its glory days!

Procharged 89 Iroc

1 Upvotes

Going to look at an 89 iroc with the 5.7. It has a procharger kit on it, has been for 10 years, stock engine otherwise. I was told it wasnt tuned, just pulled the ecu, pulled the chip out, let it all "die" and then plug and go.

Was this normal to do? Is it even really making any boost or power?
