Just got done with another transmission swap. Car drives, well, like it did when I got it biggrin.gif

That 180k mile tranny from Rob's parts car shifts way better than my original 98k mile tranny I kept having problems with. Its sooo nice not to be grinding third all the time now.

Not to jinx it, but maybe I can actually bring it to the next meeting.

So far so good! Just some minor problems to address, like why the main fan isn't coming on automatically, but works fine if you flip the A/C on. I might need to borrow the pocketlogger from Nate to verify that my engine temp sensor is working.

The variable boost is a little weird, I get about 6psi in first, 8psi in second, and 16psi by the top of third. Guess that's what I get for having a broken and disconnected boost control solenoid. I just have the pressure line hooked directly to the wastegate can. It also seems to be leaning out(slight lean pop) in third over 6,000rpm, time to hot-wire the fuel pump I guess. Could be an ignition problem though.

And it would be nice if the engine quit leaking oil, since the tranny doesn't anymore. But that's just asking for too much smile.gif
