turbo90gp Posted May 27, 2004 Report Posted May 27, 2004 Ok guys, I swapped out the auto for the 5 speed in my TGP, but I figured my problem relates to more then just the TGP owners. Well got the new slave cylinder in and everything, but now the car will not catch the gears in the 282, which was tested before we bought it to make sure it worked. This is with the car off, and the car has never been started with the 5 speed in it. What could be the problem?! Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted May 27, 2004 Report Posted May 27, 2004 sounds like you need to bleed the air out of the slave/master cylinders and the hydraulic line. how does the clutch pedal feel? when you say you can't catch gears - what exactly does that mean? how does the shifter feel? can you move the shifter from gear to gear?

turbo90gp Posted May 27, 2004 Author Report Posted May 27, 2004 no the shifter wont stay put in the gear is what I mean Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted May 27, 2004 Report Posted May 27, 2004 hmmm i really don't know! what car did your shifter cables come from? Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted May 27, 2004 Report Posted May 27, 2004 can you reach down and manually shift the transmission with your hands on the shifter levers? (on the trans itself) Quote
skalor Posted May 27, 2004 Report Posted May 27, 2004 Remember the top part of the bracket that holds the shifter cables to the tranny was missing. Did you make a bracket to hold the shifter cables in place like we talked about?? John bolted half of the bracket to the tranny, but the other half was missing and I mentioned to one of you guys that it was missing. That could be your problem Quote
turbo90gp Posted May 27, 2004 Author Report Posted May 27, 2004 I actually thought about that while I was out cutting the grass, lol. Imma call up jon rite now and ask him about it. Quote
god910 Posted May 27, 2004 Report Posted May 27, 2004 I was wondering the same thing. Hey, whadaya know, some turbo guys helped out after all. Quote
turbo90gp Posted May 27, 2004 Author Report Posted May 27, 2004 wasnt saying that they COULDENT help, it was just the fact that it was a broader topic then just TGP related. BUt hey, what ever works! Quote
Baddflash Posted May 30, 2004 Report Posted May 30, 2004 Mine was missing too, LOL!!! You can get them off of beretta's and probably corsica's and early '90's cavi's. It's the thin metel one not cast alum one. Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted May 30, 2004 Report Posted May 30, 2004 sounds like you need this piece: sorry i just sold my extra to Davis a month ago! Quote
turbo90gp Posted May 30, 2004 Author Report Posted May 30, 2004 well we now think it is the shift fork b/c we cant get it into get on the tranny itself/ Quote
Baddflash Posted May 30, 2004 Report Posted May 30, 2004 Are you saying that without the shift cables hooked up you still cant shift it at all? Quote
turbo90gp Posted May 31, 2004 Author Report Posted May 31, 2004 Ya hit the nail on the head :shock: It SUPPOSEDLY was tried out at the shop before we got it to make sure it worked. Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted May 31, 2004 Report Posted May 31, 2004 dang....so you can't shift gears with the levers on the trans with your hands? that really sux :x Quote
Baddflash Posted May 31, 2004 Report Posted May 31, 2004 Sorry to hear that man I know I was dreading the thought of mine not working when I got it back together, guess I got lucky! I don't know what to suggest??? Let us know what you find, good luck. Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted May 31, 2004 Report Posted May 31, 2004 thinking shift forks? i never had to mess with those so i have no idea. i did have to replace the throwout bearing fork and end bearings once tho. hope someone here can help.... Quote
