How do you know you lost the forward band? Won't move forward? I only ask because about once a week if I do a rolling stop. I get the old slip bang engagement. Been doing that for about 25,000 miles but a lot of that is highway.

Won't move forward unless I drop the selector into 1st. After that it will move as I shift upwards, then once in 4th/OD it will downshift/upshift on its own.

Re: What did you do to your boat today? Vol 2.0

Had the 99 registered for a week now. She drives well. Over the last couple days I've pulled [most] of the tint off the back window and all of it off my drivers window.
Bought myself a good Alpine head off Crutchfield.
Somehow let an $80 pair of projector/halos get away before realizing Certi-fit replacements are $65/ea. Looks like I'll be sanding down what I've got now.

Most importantly, pulled out the cracked fog light. Don't know if lenses are available to repair it but it seems a full pair of assemblies is only around $20-30, and with parts-yard assemblies at $10/ea, maybe that's not a bad deal. Thoughts?

You can find cyber white fog lights with a glass housing. They were quite popular. I would also recommend installing xpel film on glass housings to protect them. It was what I did with hella optilux lenses I currently have.

I had posted this in the Members Rides section but I will share it here as well... cold start after sitting 3-4weeks.

Here's a video of me trying to start it... This was about 10pm, temp outside was 5*F. Took 3 cranks. Something screeetching like a dead animal about 10-15 seconds after it's already started.

Had to replace the battery yesterday. There was an Advance Auto Gold battery in it from 6/2010. Put in an Interstate Battery. Alternator capped out as well. Replaced it today and all is good.

2011 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS.

I still have the Grand Prix sitting in the driveway. I'm going to look to see about possibly getting a transmission and selling it, or even selling it as is depending on what I can get out of it.
 


Re: What did you do to your boat today? Vol 2.0

figured this would be a easy bail out, you been talking bout selling her for a while now......i think she heard you lol
 
Re: What did you do to your boat today? Vol 2.0

LOL, probably.

The entire time I have owned the car the transmission is what worried me the most. Every time there was a shudder or delay I would turn the radio down and listen and make sure I was still under power. I really had no choice but to go buy something else. I don't have a 2nd car so I couldn't just park it and fix it.

This is probably the motivation I need to get my Stealth finished now, so that I actually do have a 2nd car. I probably can't do anything til spring, unless I can get it together enough to roll and to a garage where I can actually work on it in all weather.
 
Re: What did you do to your boat today? Vol 2.0

im on my second tranny in like 20,000 miles. granted the last one lasted me 5 years, now its got a fully rebuilt one. and im a little scared to beat on it lol
