(dsm) Wobbling at 30mph sometimes, doesnt wobble at 65mph+ ?

lol not unless he wants my old one

you miss the other thread? lol

quat? to my knowledge my tranny only has like 60k

lol i thought the motor was brand new and the tranny had like 200k

No, the mileage on the body is like 160k. Third gear was f*cked up so he swapped in one with 50k

bad axle shafts. ive had wierd issues and they usually ended up being an axle

well… if i do like a 200mph pull, it goes away, i went skiing and didnt have the problem the whole way back
wasnt the lugnuts… they were all pretty tight

so maybe it is just snow, i do need a new right side front axle… which seems to be the side wobbling

the car could prob use an alignment too

Thats why i love dsms.

With their trannies they have shitty 2nd gear synchros.

they’re so notchy tho, i hate them lol

I know that feeling lol. Their the only cars ive ever owned that im not comfortable with till i get in it and they start up.

well… update lol
i was going over to the friends house on new years eve, pull off my street.
i hit maybe 7lbs in 1st, and like 5lbs in 2nd, go to shift into 3rd at like 2800rpms, and it like pops and 3rd gear disapears… nothing there at all.

so i’m like “WTF!” (it’s like the car is in neutral), so im like revving or whatever, pull over on a side street.

i back up, car goes in reverse fine, so im like whatever, i guess its ok.
so i pull back out onto clinton street, i dont hit boost in any gear, and i go to shift into 3rd again, and there’s nothing.

so i get to the intersection to turn and the car wont go into first, like… it goes into 1st, but it never “goes” into 1st, wont go into anygear, wont go into reverse… so i cant back up out of the intersection.

everyone is beeping at me, hates me, wants to kill me. even though i have my 4 ways on, im like halfway into 1 of the lanes on union. FUCKING GO AROUND ME JESUS CHRIST. After like 4 redlights, nice kids come over and help me push it out of the way

while stuck at the redlight i tried moving out of every gear, and nothing happened whatso ever

even if the shifter is in neutral, if i let off the clutch the car stalls
if i like 2step or whatever and try to launch out of a gear, it bogs and just stalls

so i dont know if the car is like stuck in gear, or shiftlinkage/fork/whatever broke
idk wtf happened. but it was a really shitty new years

/story
car is at garys :frowning:

lol

and i was going to call u to bring it over today to go into storage til this happened lol :frowning:

oh well, now everything can be done at once and then i can put it in storage and start fabbing the turbo setup

ill see if gary can do the new bushings,axle,headgasket and tranny all at once so its ready for spring

i think if whatever the problem is here is fixed with the tranny, whether it be the linkage or something, it will be the cure… this car shouldnt have gone thru 3 trannys within the past 2 years, regardless if someone sucked at shifting

Burn it, that pile finally gave out, long overdue.

meh

thats what you get for driving a dsm… your teg ever leave you stranded like that?

yes lol
i was just always able to fix the problem
this i cant :meh:

You gonna build up the tranny or do things backwards and get another stock tranny but add more HP to break it again faster?

it depends if it is actually something wrong with the tranny, and then ill go from there
i can get a built sheptrans from 9xx$ to 21xx$

I would get a new clutch too… i really liked the engagement on mike’s evo with the quartermaster… i dont really like the feel of the act

cool, well i hope all goes well!
