Well it was only a matter of time...

[bubba428]

Damn...on the way to the south meet today I got on the 86 from a roll. It wound up to about 5500 in second and just as I go to let of SLAMMED 3rd gear...well, what else is new another automatic trans has fallen to my mighty right foot. she grinds going into 3rd, fan-freakin-tastic. I'm gonna have to baby it till friday so I can do a trans flush, change the filter, and put some lucas in it. If that doesn't solve it...T-5 swap

[ar0ck]

Are you manually shifting an auto?

[bubba428]

nope, I swapped in a 3.42 and the trans is all wacky now. shifts entirely too high, I have to let off so it don't pin the tach

[keith2717]

You got the best LUCK

[WayFast84]

see my sig.

[bubba428]

Luck is not what I would call it...maybe cursed, doomed, f***ed

[WayFast84]

Nah your just bubba. Stop and think. Did you mess with the TV cables?

[bubba428]

Hey theres a possibility I might not have completely f'd it up. I'm gonna do the fluid/filter change(+Lucas) cause its in need of it already, and if that don't fix it the T-5. not a big deal really.

[JerzLT1]

:lol: yeah neither was the V6 build... oh wait its not done yet

[bubba428]

:lol: yeah neither was the V6 build... oh wait its not done yet

I never said that was gonna be easy. There's a lot of thing that had to be modified to work. I've done trans swaps before, but a conversion would be a new adventure. Besides its not a big deal to me that the trans went...doing a conversion is going to be a major PITA

[NumberTwo]

My header just melted a trans line on my Z today. The underside of my white hood is all pink and my motor is very shiny.

On a side note, Id go to Advance or someplace and buy Lubegard instead of Lucas. Much better product IMO.

[bubba428]

I've never had a problem with Lucas products and they've all worked quite well for me. sucks about that line though. I'm be under the car again soon enough.

If the trans is making a grinding noise you broke it and there is no snake oil in existance to fix it..

[bubba428]

If the trans is making a grinding noise you broke it and there is no snake oil in existance to fix it..

I know that, I'm just trying to put off the inevitable. you do trans work? I don't need nothing special cause I have a conversion in the plans for this

[JSPERFORMANCE]

The inevetable is here no cheap fixes for what you did. The planetaries probably broke and sent metal throughout the whole trans. You will need a complete overhaul and the converter will need to be replaced or rebuilt as well. Also the cooler will need to be flushed or replaced....

[bubba428]

well I meant nothing special by a full rebuild with just stock parts. nothing performance

[camaro2you]

your better off going to the junkyard and getting something decent if your just gonna replace it again later down the road, thats a waste...ask me how i know....

[bubba428]

thats what i think I'm doing Friday. Either that or ditching the auto all together

[WayFast84]

hello i have a rebuilt 700r4 and a stock converter Ill give to you for cheap!!! Ill only sell it if you promise to fix your rear brakes before you start driving on the street though. PM me if your interested.

[bubba428]

I'm getting a conversion cheap...no offense but if I was interested in another auto...i'd have one in already

[WayFast84]

then why are you talking about keeping the auto 3 posts up??

[alamantia]

would an adjustment on the TV cable keep it from shifting that high?

[bubba428]

it would...but i never touched it

[bubba428]

thats what i think I'm doing Friday. Either that or ditching the auto all together

wow, your such an idiot..

[NJSPEEDER]

hey matt, since you have so much to say i guess i should ask. how is your car running?

you don't really have any room to make fun of anyone's knowledge base until you have in some small way shown that you have one of your own. so far you have ripped your car apart and had it towed to a shop. that puts you pretty far in the hole compared to bubba breaking and repairing/replacing his own parts.

Ok, you got me there. but I will agree with Wayfast, not that he's and idiot, but his ideas that he has are more then outside of the boundries of plausible, and his ability to accept opinions and advice are nonexistant.

[bubba428]

well heres the plan I'm gonna have to stick to.
If it comes down to the T/A being disabled I have a 700r4 set aside for me and i'm setting aside the cash for it in a separate account as a just in case scenario. I'm finishing the 3.4 this weekend, and sending out the computer with the little bit of money I'll have to work with. some time soon I'm getting a clutch and putting her on the insurance. The T/A will then become a moving project car, thats I'm not going to dig at too deep and make the same mistake again.

Lay off Fatty Matty. He's been building high perf cars since Big Daddy was in diapers!

[bubba428]

you mean A hi-perf CAR

[Blacdout96]

I looked at your engine. You need to finish puting the oil pan on and a few other assorted bottom end parts, find pushrods for it, find exhaust manifolds and hook up an exhaust, put the front assembly on, put it back in the car, get a clutch for it and put the transmission on, hook up all the wiring, get the computer on it, and hope that it will run for more then 30 seconds because you never plastigauged anyhting.

who says I haven't been working on it....like I said...I can have it ready to be in the car by the end of the weekend...not in, but ready. I don't need manifolds, i have headers, I found the pushrods, the exhaust gets done after the motor is in, the front cover needs to be modified and thats it.

matt's car was so desperately torn apart and far from completion that it was taken to a shop to be professionally taken care of.
if matt or bubba listened to all of the advice they have been given it would be better, but certainly not as funny for the rest of us. lol

are you seriously going there?

Wow.

first of all, I did listen to all of the advice i was given, theres only one place it got me, no where. There are only 2 people I trust now giving me opinions on MY car, That is Josh, and Paul. It has become clear to me that you to are all full of talk, your talking about my car which is apart but you to have a half assed second gen that is apart, it has been apart longer then me and bubba's car... Your also all talk about ET and yet your running a mid 13 second car. I know its your DD but still. As for me taking my car to Josh, thats NONE of your business, in the end its going to be badder then both of your cars, Bubba's car, and Justin's car. Keep talking ****.

Im not trying to start ****, Im sticking up for my self when I say these things

Tim sold the 2nd gen a while ago....try to keep up.

- Justin

[NJSPEEDER]

i bought the 4th gen and knew i wouldn't have time for it, and sold it to a friend with a big motor that needed a new home. that is life, that is reality, get over yourself.

i would also like to know what advice we all gave you that was so terrible? which one of your half baked ideas did we not back properly?
was it the truck cam one? or the race only one? or the daily driver in the 9's one?

josh will give you solid advice, he will also do top notch work to your car. but don't think that having made a mess of yoru car and then paying someone to fix it adds any points to your automotive IQ or your skill level.

[unstable bob gable]

Before you OLD hotshots get your jollies off of teaming up on a 15 year old kid, lemme axe you this: How many of YOU actually spent a couple of mins trying to help the kid out in person? I know I have. So maybe youz should walk the walk a bit before getting all high and mighty. I know it's an easy, ego puffing thrill to bang on the kid. And if youz wanna really man up, take a second and list all the projects youz started and never got ass done with...nobody here has the right to throw stones...:-x

[NJSPEEDER]

i never made it up to visit the kid in person so none of the advice offered was legit?

bob, matt was offered a lot of solid advice by a lot of different members. who made it to his house has little to do with who offered knowledge.

if matt doesn't want anyone to comment about his skill level he needs to either lay off that of others or raise his own. i have tried many times to help matt out with advice and links to helpful information only to be ignored. i offered, he didn't care to learn from my knowledge and experience, not my fault.

[Blacdout96]

who says I haven't been working on it....like I said...I can have it ready to be in the car by the end of the weekend...not in, but ready. I don't need manifolds, i have headers, I found the pushrods, the exhaust gets done after the motor is in, the front cover needs to be modified and thats it.

I say you havent been working on it, cause you either work, or you sit around at your house. your engine is at your dads house and he gives you a hard enough time as it is to work on it. and you dont even have a proper tool set to put it together properly. When your rear went, who came over with all the right tools and had it in and out in a few hours workign time, I did. in the hour and half you worked on it you took of the sway bar and the shocks. Im not saying I know more then you, but If your goign to work in the mechanic worl dude, or work on your car properly, have the proper tools to go with it. as for putting the engine in, im sure you can have it in, I could have something like that in in no time, but will it run? personally, no, you didnt use plastiguage.

25 gazillion people can offer advice out of their piehole. But is any of it gonna help if it ain't working out when he tries to "do it?" It will help if yer there with your hands as well as your piehole. "Give a man a fish, and he eats for a meal. TEACH a man to fish, and he eats for a lifetime!"

BTW: I'm taking my T-Type to a shop to get straightened out. And I'm not building my next engine, either. I guess I should hang my head in shame 'cause that makes me less of a hot rodder than all of the cyber Smokey Yunicks here...

[Blacdout96]

I will admit, ive had a couple projects I never finished, but hey, I was young and I learned the hard way loosing hard earned money on the cars. I miss my 79 Camaro, and I may never get my 3000GT back together, but crap happens. Wayfast is 16, and personally I envy the fact that he already has a car he can tinker with. I was able to have a car to tinker with when I was 18, so, and I had stupid thoughts and bit off more then i could chew many of times. And as time goes by ,you mature ,and progress and find out what paths to use to properly find parts and do things to a car, your not able to know everything as soon as you go, you know what I like cars, I think ill build onethe way I want to. I thought I was hot **** in Vo-tech, but in the end, I realize I knew more about quantum physics, then I did about cars. so Wayfast just needs to practice, practice, practice, and he'll become more knowledgable as time progresses.

so he changed his mind or didn't come to a final decision. i would think you could relate to that considering that was the primary criticism you faced for a long time.

as much as i love the great catch phrases you seem to love, i don't think they apply this time.
i offered matt links to tons of information that would have taught him to "fish" and he didn't follow through on his end. i also suggested many books and periodicals to read, yet he did not learn to "fish". if someone is not willing to take the first step on their own why should it be up to me or anyone else to carry them the rest of the marathon?

there is also a very very big difference between you having an engine built and needing your whole car finished for you. you have a lot of knowledge and you have built up a lot of different cars. not doing or not being an expert in one area or another is not comparable in this situation.

So, you provided things to read. Big whoop. I read just about every car mag around, and a lot of stuff still goes WAY over my head. Case in point: I had no f'n idea what was meant about flow rates of heads, and how flow benches work. And no matter how much I READ about the stuff, it still made no sense. Then I spent some time in shops, with someone SHOWING me the jazz, and it made sense. So, without getting into anymore "catch phrases" since they go so against your grain, I learned by being SHOWN not by being TOLD. And just for the record, I thought you could relate to trying to teach with parables, since I seem to remember you posting about spiritual things. And as we all know, Jesus taught with parables.

[NJSPEEDER]

so you learn better hands on, does that mean everyone should abandon reading?
sorry man, but if you don't make the least effort to learn or argue with every lesson offered you will have a lot of trouble getting to the point that anyone wants to show you the hands on part.

whoa guys...I think its time to just back off and leave it at what it is...I started this thread more or less as a light hearted joke. Its getting a bit hostile..

[NJSPEEDER]

thats nice bob. i tried to defend matt for a long time, but after he failed to learn from so many lessons and so many opportunities i left him on his own. hopefully he can figure it out with your help.
until then my only remaining advice for him is to step up his game before criticizing others.

Neons are SEXY!

That is all

[bubba428]

well its $100 for a used trans to get me by...that I can't really beat on(MAYBE a day or so at the track)...or $500 for a full T-5 swap that that motor would tear to pieces if i beat on it, but I could later put a TKO setup in and have the hydraulics there already. I'm putting an auto in for the time being. when project A is completed then I'll start toying with the T/A again. for the 2nd time now

[Frosty]

Dude, you better not run that car at the track on a $100 trans..and if you do you don't have a single reason to bitch.

Also, why would your motor rip apart the T5? You're not really making that much power, even a non WC T5 should handle it provided you don't drive like a *******.
