    What happened to my tranny?

    Hey guys. Been at the lake so I haven't had a chance to respond. No worries about 'taking over my post', it's all good :) I'm planning to pull the trans and get it rebuild locally (fingers crossed on that one)... I don't want to dump much money into this and I also don't want to attempt a...

    What happened to my tranny?

    Thanks for the replies guys!! Really appreciate it. Keep on discussing, that's fine by me ;) One more bit of info that might help (who knows). After I did the shift kit (3 months ago), my converter wouldn't unlock. So I unplugged the wires going to the trans so it would never lock. And...

    Zero oil pressure??

    Fixed!!! Yay! Oil pump needed to be primed. Borrowed a drill bit that someone in the local MGNA club had made, turned the oil pump over for about 10 seconds and I got 65 psi oil pressure! Put everything back together, reset the cam sensor and all is well! Thanks for the suggestions and...

    Zero oil pressure??

    Problem guys. Car has been sitting for a month, I started the car and ran it for 30 seconds or so, sounded fine. I look at my gauges and my autometer oil pressure gauge says zero!! And the oil idiot light is on. Shut the car down. I unscrewed the turbo oil feel line and crank the engine...
