Re: Its almost adventur time. Rack and Tent install.

I so badly want to these pictures, any chance @SirNik83 can repost them somehow without photobucket, seems you closed your photobucket account. I really want to look into roof top tent options.

Thanks for sharing.

Re: Stuck valve!

I found the fuel evap air hose melted and thought it was maybe the issue. After confirming good function on VSV and the air valve, I serviced the evap canister per the FSM. With nice weather and time I put it back together after lunch today to find it did not help with the issue. Did replacing that...

Re: Synchros -any availability? potential fixes?

@ Petros I'm going to keep a close eye on that seal, I am hoping it was just to do with thin oil of the 50/50 flush. Else I will replace it, no biggie. @irowiki, hopefully with the 3 qts of 85w90 and 1 quart ATF I have in there now, she will loosen up more gunk over time. Think I might change the oi...

Re: Synchros -any availability? potential fixes?

the "cheap" wal mart gear oil is pretty decent actually, they have one of the major manufacturer's package it for them. the ATF inproves grip for clutches in the auto trans (and works on sycros as well). we used to run 50/50 atf gear oil in the race car trans to improve high speed shiftin...

Re: Synchros -any availability? potential fixes?

Can't cheat it, gotta drain it all, 50/50 fresh atf and fresh gear lube! Yeah do one quart atf and three gear lube. The cheap walmart stuff is perfectly fine. Thanks irowiki, Since the oil I have in now is basically new, I'm gonna drain half and add 2 qts atf back and drive it for 100 miles or so, ...

Re: Synchros -any availability? potential fixes?

Did you do the 50/50 ATF/Gear lube flush yet? Yip I kinda cheated a bit though, I drained out half the old mtf and added 2 quarts of atf then drove for 50 miles, she shifted beautifully for those 50 miles. Then I drained it all out and added 1 gal of cheap Walmart GL5 MTF. Now the shifting is stick...

Thanks Petros.

I'm gonna drain out 1 quart of mtf and add 1 quart atf. Is there any specific ATF you suggest ? Whats your opinion on that cheap Walmart GL5 I used, no good?

Re: Synchros -any availability? potential fixes?

you might improve the function of your syncros with an AFT flush. put in 50/50 mix of ATF and cheap gear oil and drive it around for a few days, getting it up to hwy speed so it gets good and warm. than with it still warm, drain it out. ATF has a strong detergent action and will clean out gum and d...
