A few days ago I emailed Dr. Digifant to alert him to him of this discussion, to see if he might chime in and answer our questions. I figured he'd might also see it as an opportunity to build interes ...

Has anyone heard of or had any experience with Dr. Digifant's products? He offers a programable digifant ECU that utilizes a modified throttle. It does away with the click closed, click full throttl ...

Seems that if a hall sensor could be adapted to the stock ECU, a GM type MAP sensor could also be adapted to replace the air flow sensor, discarding the trap door completely.

Thats pretty handy since I've got an 86. In case I missed it on the diagram is this for the VINs up to G 055 689 of after VIN 055 690? My Bently has both sections for 86. I'd love to have a scroll ...

My thinking was that maybe your Evap system was plugged and causing too much pressure to build up enriching your spray. Maybe that's not sound logic, considering what you're saying about others exper ...

I second the rotor and cap replacement. No rotor should look like that. One thing I had happen once was a pinched return line off the fuel pressure regulator. Sent my fuel pressure way up. Maybe y ...

Only one was needed, no twisting since the air struts were left in place to allow for added lift support.

I think these have been mentioned in other threads, but maybe worth stating again.

The Clutch Claw, locks both clutch and brake pedal

Thank you Vanafan. This helps put some pieces together and is giving me an idea of how to possibly test the theory of failing components in the hydraulic system. Once I get a trans back on I could h ...

Sodo, I totally agree with you about the TOB moving freely. However there is no return spring on the fork. Also:

I have no clue what your noise is.

I can only go by what you told us.

Unit returned rebuilt

I'll say it again.......
1+1 = 2 not 3 or 4.

You had a quiet good shifting trans until it was rebuilt. That equals 2

I took the trans back off today. Here is the first thing I found.

Sorry to ask such a simple question but is there gear oil in the thing after you got it back from the rebuilder?

Mark

Yes.

danfromsyr, Thanks for that idea. I'll have to double check that when i get back out to my "shop"

Seems that me you're barking up the wrong tree.

You say it ran quietly and shifted well before the gear loss.

Since the rebuild it doesn't shift and is noisy.

Cause and effect.

Interesting. I just got off the phone with Brad from Kennedy and am considering sending in my plate to be checked. Not sure if its the problem, but checking could rule it out. Maybe send the flywhe ...
