Hey guys! I need a working blinker stalk for a non airbag car. I was trying to find one with the obc function but haven't had any luck so now any stalk will do. I just want to get this thing fixed. Anyone got one I can buy?

[UgkNW*]

I bent the plate back. Flywheel doesn't touch.

I have one more issue I just noticed. 1 of the two tabs at the back of the trans broke. Can I still keep going or does it have to be welded on?

[UgkNW*]

Here's the tab thing off the trans.. Am I good or do I need someone to weld back on

[djjerme]

I wouldn't try rewelding it, and using it as is - too much stress on that mount point.

Reach out to John Parker. It's happens often enough in race cars that there's a bunch of ways to change the way the tranny is mounted. Usually they involve some sort of bracket being fab'ed that cradles the tranny.

Thanks ^.

Drove to Seattle on $6 of premium last night, about 75 miles. gutted m42 + 3.25 + low rolling resistance tires = best e30 hypermiling setup.

My S5 goes through $6 of premium just looking at it.

But you are not pulling nearly as many bitches

Can some one please school me on how I remove the shifter ball bushing 25111469397. Thanks

[Matt-B]

U have to "implode" it inward with a few small screw drivers and twist it

[5Toes]

UGKNW dont listen to that crapy technqiue

get two right angle shaped picks/pry tools. the two tabs on the sides at 3 oclock and 9 oclock need to get pushed in, and then with a sharp tug the whole white cup bushing will come out the top. the design is hard to figure out at first but those lock tabs are the most important.

you may find that the bushing is spun around out of the correct orientation so just orient it correctly then push those tabs in.

[Matt-B]

Then drop in a fully built m42, with low rolling resistance tires.

Easiest 500hp and 50mpg you can get
