    tranny leaking somewhere (5-speed)

    My tranny is leaking fluid from somewhere but i can't seem to find it. The tranny itself is dry, yet the frame on the left side of the tranny (drivers side) is wet from the top down and the fabric that lines the frame is soaked. I thought it could be where the shifter goes in but i reached up...

    Ome and Bilstein assembled question

    Had a friend of mine assemble a set of 927's and Billsteins for me today. He let me know that he got them finished but he was afraid there was to much pressure on the mount nut?? This is my first go around with a "coilover" type system so I told him I didn't know. I know it doesn't matter once...

    Belt tensioner bolt stripped

    Been trying to get my belt tensioner bolt out that the head is stripped out on. Tried the Irwin bolt extractor sockets and it just stripped it out more.

    Taller skinnier vs shorter wider

    My current tires are 255/70-16. They are 29.96" tall and 10.2" wide. Was looking at a set of 245/75-16 that are 30.26" tall and 9.6" wide. Wondering if I'd be better of with the taller skinnier tires as far as power goes or if it would actually equal to about the same. Both weigh 35 pounds

    Where to bolt up to motor?

    Got another cradle today, I'm going to be switching it out tomorrow. Wondering where a decent place to bolt up to the motor is? Was looking at possibly the alternator mounts? I know I'm only supporting part of the motors weight but I don't wanna damage the timing cover in the process

    Lower ball joints

    We'll I bought some greasable lower ball joints, then realized they are not gonna be greasable lol (wasn't even thinking about the cv axle). Anyway I see moog makes a k3199 and a k80767. The k80767 is obviously greasable from the pics but some websites have the k3199 as greasable and some have...

    Bent control arm bracket

    Well i realized this morning that my lower control arm mount is bent pretty bad. It seems to be about a half an inch off. Only thing i can think of is cut a piece of pipe that fits snuggly in the mount, tighten it down and hit it with a bfh. I'm not sure that will bend both sides though. I...
