torque converter decided to eat itself and deficate metal shavings into the rest of the tranny. so, a rebuild is in order. i got a 4wd case from gordon's to replace my 2wd case. pulled mine after work today and from two, one shall arise.
betcha didnt think a 4x4 chevy 4 speed would fit in a neon did ya? inform your local enterprise rent-a-car. i didnt ask the rental guy, but he did inform me that neons are cool with a flowmaster.
if you need to weld something John, just bring it by.
The neon does have a decent stereo, it also has a rev limiter. I didn't try a neutral drop or the test for the top speed limiter b/c I am a ***** and didn't take it past 90 on hwy 6 at high noon. I tested the rev limiter in the parking lot of the enterpirse place though, John was not impressed... I was impressed that John coaxed out of the guy to tell his story about the flowmaster on the neon. He says, "It was the stainless twin tip, it still looked classy" I was trying hard not to lose it. Chode.
I had the same problem with the PT Cruiser I rented, the rev limiter in neutral sux.Quote:

All the ones I've seen look like they are spot welded on.
There is a set of clamps you can get at napa that are like for fixing broken leaf springs. I saw people on POR using them and they had them clamped on the spring pack, and its a storage place till you need one. I'll find out more lata after class.
you drill holes for them, and they snap in.
snap in or rivet in?
the spring holds'em in, so it really doesn't matter how ther attached.
You wanting the spring clamps or the little pad things?
ahhhhhhh, the clamps. ive got the pads already
I got some from autozone. They're just 2 plates that smash together with a u-bolt. Not sure where to get factory style ones.
What kind of pads....maxxi? :flipoff2:Quote:

im heading up there now. gimme a call if your mom will let you come out and play.
im about to finish up here and head home. ill could definately use a hand tomorrow (thursday) evening with the bumpstops. preferably someone with a little forklift experience... or someone that can at least push and pull levers would be fine.
finished up the sliders on friday night. no bumpstops necessary. wheeled like a champ. im happy. need 35's.
Nice work, those really look sharp. :gigem:
Those look really good :cool:
those turned out nice, glad I could help out ;)
