Everything from the c101 and back check out.
My problem is that with the c101 unplugged and the the key on the temp jumps to super hot.

And you don't have continuity from c101 pin 4 to chassis ground? If not, yeah, sounds like you fried something in the temp gauge, or maybe even the SI board, since that's where power to the gauge comes from.

The sensor is grounded via it's mounting location, and works by resistance. If you unplug the sensor, the gauge should go to full cold. If you ground the wire going to the gauge, it should go to full hot. So it sounds like you are somehow grounding the wire to the gauge. Check for continuity between chassis ground, and the pin on the connector that goes to the gauge. That would prove you are grounding it. Also check resistance between chassis ground and the pin on the sensor, to prove the sensor is functioning.

There are two wires on the m60 harness for the temp sensor, both of which go to the x20. But the m20 temp sensor is a single pin sensor, unlike the dual pin m60 sensor. Make sure you have the correct wire feeding the c101 connector.

Ok so I have fully rebuilt the drive shaft and revshift guibo.
and all back together. I will take it for a test drive this sunday hopefully make to the little bimmer meet down the street.

But.... ugh I think i may have just f-cked myself or at least my temp gauge.

Ok so my gauge hasn't been showing any temp. even after installing the M20 temp sender. Come to find out (my fault) i have plugged the wrong plugs into the wrong sending unit. But while having it all apart i thought I would be cool and test it all to see if it works....

So I mistakenly put a hot wire to the sending plug that sends info to the gauge. Now the gauge jumps to HOT when the key is turned. even if the plug is unplugged. no matter what...

What did i just f-up? ugh...

I'm kinda at a loss as to what to do now.. :(

SO ordered my 2.5" tubing to do my exhaust build.

than I got home and my center bearing was waiting for me.
Crap.. got the wrong bearing from amazon...

Ordered the right one from Pelican parts and lost 2days..ugggh

still waiting on my v-band clamps Damn-it!


Annnd..... RevShift hasn't returned my email :|

Revshift was slow for me. Better off calling than emailing. Product is good though.

I want that race feel... The AKG shifter has such an unreal click- click- Brabbbb -click- brappp awesome feel. ;D

Also I wanted to weight it as well which add to that nice throw feel so I built my shift arm myself it has an awesome weight and throw feel. Its further back in my build but it you look it show how i built it and has -NO- slop
every shift is a perfect click- click. It's one of my favorite mods to date... :pimp:

F*cking sold!!

[MonkeyMadness]

Cool! man thanks for sharing the info... btw I love your shifter assembly how much did that run you? Im debating on stock OEM which is going to cost me over 200$ in parts alone.. plus all the work of cuting, welding..et...
