Re: gb galant diff

when i changed the engine i noticed the gearbox mount was relly soft if i solid mount the box and engine would this stop the axel tramp? how much wider is a sigma wagon diff as when the 2.6 has had it i might even go 6cyl and i highly doubt the diff will hold.

Re: Educate me about manualised autos

a stall convertor works with ur cam say u got a cam that starts at 3000rpm you would want a 3000rpm stall in other words it revs up until yr engine is ready to make power a standard stall would be around 1200rpm but there is a down side anything ova 3000 on the street is not wise as stalls will make...

Re: Car hesitates when you stab the throttle.?

also if u have carbon buld up on ur valves this will lead to detonation get yr engine to running temp take yr air cleaner off hold the revs at say 2000 rpm and tip some brake fluid down the carby will clean the carbon off yr valves

Re: Car hesitates when you stab the throttle.?

i had a gemini thats use to do this on a weekly basis take yr air cleaner off and choke the carby with yr hand while you hold the revs at 3000rpm and keep the revs up do it for about 3-4 secs but try not to let it stall as it will flood itll clean out ur jets the easy way :thumpsup:
