    New trans clicking/grinding when decelerating

    New Raptor stage2 trans installed a few months ago. I also recently installed a new B&M Composite X ratchet shifter. I think it's the shifter, but during deceleration it makes a nasty clicking sound to where I can feel it. I know Brian said "do not use a ratchet shifter", but Lonnie says they...

    Neutral and backup light mechanism to tranny

    I just put in a new B&M composite X shifter. I disconnected the bar and removed the parts that go to the shifter mechanism on the tranny. Does anyone have pictures of how this is connected? I am having problems adjusting the shifter. I follow all of the directions properly, but I still get a...

    Throttle valve question

    I have an original TV cable coming soon, and until then I am using a universal TV cable. Here is my question: Should the TV cable start opening the throttle valve and cause line pressure and line pressure to increase at the very beginning of pushing the accelerator pedal? Another way of...

    Where to find an original TV cable

    I had a new transmission installed awhile ago, but they put on a universal TV cable. I can not seem to set it properly. Is there anyone who sells an original TV cable?

    Alternator bad?

    Slippage with new trans

    Had a new Raptor 200-R4 trans installed awhile back, with a Pats 2800 stall converter. Maybe it's me, but it does not seem to hook up. Do I really need to get the engine up to 2800RPM before I get hook-up? It feels like it's slipping at low RPM. I also have a leak around the TCC connector...

    SouthEast Turbo 2 3/4 " cat back exhaust

    I just (almost) completed the installation of a new SouthEast Turbo Performance EXH1170 COMPLETE ALUMINIZED 2 3/4 WITH MUFFLER. Found that it is made for a non-cat system. Everything fit great except I had to buy 16 1/2" mufflers, because the ones that came with it are 25". If you're going to...

    My 200R4 is shot, What do I need for a TH400?

    I had my car in the shop to replace the torque converter, and found that the trans is shot. If I replace it with a TH400, where is the best place to get it, and what are all the parts I need?

    Where to put my A/C orifice tube?

    :eek: OK, first get the jokes out of your system. :eek: I just replaced my A/C compressor and, with the kit came an A/C Orifice Tube. There were no real directions, so does anyone know where this thing goes?

    Need help to get serpentine belt back on

    I just put a new A/C compressor on. I feel stupid, but the adj. pully only seems to adjust one way, tighten. It only moves upward, what am I doing wrong. The Alternator only moves up and doen about a half inch. I have about an inch to get the belt over and on the alt. pully. What's the trick?

    Installing a new Torque Converter

    How difficult is it to install a new Torque converter? Obviously I have never done it before. I don't have a lift or trans. jack. Basically working with jack stands and jack and doing it alone. Is it worth even attempting? I previously posted this in the wrong section.

    Torque converter slipping??

    Problem is if I put any throttle into it the trans seems to just spin, little to no power to the rear end. There is also a groaning sound, from what sounds like the torque converter. Does this sound like it is the torque converter? Never had one go bad on me before.

    How to tell when Torque Converter going south?

    Had my in the shop for a while to get the brakes converted to Vacuum. After I got it back, it seems strange. It feels like I am spinning the tires all the time, until it hooks up. There is a strange smell and intermitent groaning sound from what seems like the torque converter. It is also slow...
