    Transmission Issues

    Well, looks like I'm getting rid of my SHO. I can't justify spending that much money to fix a car I paid $2k for 50k miles ago, when I can buy a whole car with a good transmission for that much or less.

    Transmission Issues

    Well, my 1991 mtx has exactly 150k miles on it. It has gradually been getting harder and harder to shift. It has also started grinding everyonce in awhile going into 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th gear. I took it to a transmission shop, and he said the the synchros aren't lining up. Should I rebuild...

    The bearings in your alternator may be going out. It will charge sometimes, and not others. Oh yeah, the alternator I had to buy was $170 after the core.

    Proper Speed Rated Tires

    I've got some potenza re730's on my sho. Very nice tires; they're around $150 a piece, before the discountinued discount.

    There's a section at the end of the pipe that splits into a y shape. It breaks into two sections. One goes a short distance to the left. The other makes a 90 degree turn to the right. This was sawed off with a sawzall. Now it's a 2-1-1 instead of a 2-1-2.

    The pipe is cut right in before it broke into the y shape. The air filter that was in the car when i bought it was shot. Litterally falling apart, and clogged all to hell. I replaced it today with a K&N and can actually notice a very large difference. There's a section of concrete road near...

    Well, I found out why my car went from running high 14's to mid 16's, lol. There was a gasket on the exhaust pipe before the first cat that was shot. Also, the super turbo mufflers were rusted all to hell. The muffler guy suggested that I lose the y-pipe and try a single. Very good...

    Manual z24's run mid-high 15's in the 1/4 mile. It's a driver's race with the Civic SI. On one of my runs, I hit 90mph, but I ran a 16.8. I'm trying to decide if I want to fix my SHO, or become involved in another platform. I love my SHO, but it just looks like it'll become a money pit...

    It could be my throw out bearing and clutch.

    Oops, that came out sounding worse than I meant it to.

    What bothers me is that a 15.6 is really slow. There are stock cavalier z24's and civic si's that run better times than that. A 1991 SHO should be able to hit low 15's at least. My car has been well-maintained, and it has pretty low miles.

    Here's what I ran in my SHO a few weeks ago. R/T: 1.272 60': 2.713 330: 7.255 1/8: 10.814 MPH: 69.30 1000: 13.89 1/4: 16.452 MPH: 88.4 I know my R/T sucks, but shouldn't my car be doing better than this anyway? I was hoping for at least a 15.2. I can't really launch it that well...

    Grinding

    Hey guys, I've got a question for you. And yes, I did search first. Sometimes my car grinds going into first gear or reverse. Also, it's a little difficult to shift into second and third, sometimes. I understand that the grinding in first and reverse is normal, but I'm paranoid and I think...
