I tore into the Probe GT transmission I picked up a few months back (well, just over 6 weeks) and am chuffed to report it's got the 4.388 final...
New (pssh, junkyard) transmission acquired! I took at look at local junkyards on a whim Friday evening and found a Probe GT recently arrived at...
One of the reasons I'm stepping into this one. Went and looked at it with a mate who's had one since he started driving in one form or another,...
Bad news, but news nonetheless. I think that I may have cracked the transmission right in the area where the VSS plonks into. This may have all...
An update to pull this thread out of the depths of hibernation! I decided a month ago to dust the cobwebs off and start the Pro5 up after its...
A rather frustrating update: transmission is in BUT there's a noise, a new noise, that my mate reckons is the 5th gear rubbing on the case cap....

LOL My mate is considering that in his road race MSP. Granted he's also stepped down a few classes from STU(pid money nets great positions) to...

Good news: Harness passed the wiggle test. Car no longer dies with the ECU shaken like it owes me money. Double good news: [IMG] [ATTACH] A...
From a scrambled mess to something hopefully functional. Ashamed to say I caught a mis-positioned wire already. Here's to hoping that's the only...
Turned a junkyard harness into something respectable this evening. Working on an even simpler wiring diagram to go along with the new harness....
Adding insult to injury, I made it to KY and back to MI sans issues, but I noticed that the coolant temp gauge was reading higher than "centered"...
Good news: I have news Bad news: valve stem seals (I replaced) may be no good. oil smell under deccel from high RPM and under WOT accel. I...
