Ok then. It was milky and there were small shavings on the drain plug so my tranny needs built for sure.

So today I:
Cleaned the K&N Filter and reoiled it Pulled lower honeycomb on MAS. Swapped front wheels. Back wheels need a sledge to come off... Reinstalled balance shaft belt I should hopefully have the money for my tranny by the end of June. I think I may just save until Spring and build it then. I figure I should have $5k saved by Spring if I'm lucky. -------------------- If the sound of a DSM in the distance rowing through the gears gives you a hardon, you might be a car enthusiast.

Timing belt was fine. Balance shaft belt fell off when I revved to like 5500 so I replaced the belt.

UPDATE:
Went to go about putting in my head unit and new speakers and found out that I'm missing my passenger side window motor! Heh. Window was being held with a toilet plunger and vice grips. So here's my list so far of needs. Valve cover Carpet for hatch window motor (Getting all for $80) Tranny rebuild (Emailed Jacks about the $800 Economy build) Underbody cleaning. Also, pulled the heat shield off my cat the other day. Much less annoying rattle. Have to find the remainder, but it was enough that I could hear my BOV in the car. I revved it to 6k once and it makes a whirring sound I never heard before. It sounds normal, and it was after I ran SeaFoam through it. Think it's just from the carbon buildup coming off? I'm going to do an oil change again soon, since I start it everyday and play with it. Another couple tard questions. 1. When I turn the key to on before I start it, there's a bubbling sort of noise and if I let it do it for a couple minutes it stops. What and why? I can't locate the sound but it's in the engine bay. 2. Why does it take so long to start? I swapped batteries with my Eclipse and it's the same problem. Takes 3 or 4 seconds of cranking instead of instant like my Eclipse. Normal or what should I do to fix it? Sorry guys. I'm anal. Not sure if that's good or bad when owning a DSM.. -------------------- If the sound of a DSM in the distance rowing through the gears gives you a hardon, you might be a car enthusiast.

1- its not a bubbling noise your hearing its a relay on the fire wall. cant remember which one is the culprit but thats where the noise is coming from.
2- most likely its the coolant temp sensor. they cause the cars to run a little rich when the fail and that causes it to have a rough start. Plus the light was on which means its prolly a junk sensor. -------------------- "One of the most Crazy and Undecisive Members in central Illinois"

I filled the overflow res and topped off the system and the light is gone...
I'll look into replacing the coolant temp sensor. Would the temp gauge still work properly? -------------------- If the sound of a DSM in the distance rowing through the gears gives you a hardon, you might be a car enthusiast.

I meant would it work right even if the temp sensor was bad.

The dash guage and ECU use different sensors that are right next eachother. On the Tstat housing, the one with one wire is your guage, and the two wire goes to the ECU

So it's not my shifter that is the problem. The cable itself is tight...
What do I need to do? I can't see crap as far as binding goes under the car or anything. Going to get SS clutch and brake lines after the car is driveable (Read: New tranny and t-case) -------------------- If the sound of a DSM in the distance rowing through the gears gives you a hardon, you might be a car enthusiast.

Yeehaw!
Picked up the Punishment Racing intercooler from Travis along with other tidbits (Lights, mbc, valve cover, window motor, etc.) Pulled the entire intake from the turbo back out. I just need to figure out how to get the intercooler on. My buddy and I went to bolt the bottom brackets to the bottom and the bolt head broke off  I think we must have broken 20 bolt heads last night. Ugh. Oh well, I just have to take an Easy Out and have at it... -------------------- If the sound of a DSM in the distance rowing through the gears gives you a hardon, you might be a car enthusiast.

Nah. It's been set to the backburner. I had finals this week (Fri, Mon, Tue) and now I'm in the process of putting my audio setup in the Cavalier.
I need a new harness that plugs directly into the HU. Mine's buggered, and I can't find one as of yet. :/ -------------------- If the sound of a DSM in the distance rowing through the gears gives you a hardon, you might be a car enthusiast.
