    [SOLVED] Fixing Loose Clutch Pedal

    When the slave goes bad, it will leak fluid. I think the slave is OK in this case. The master, though, I think you're headed in the right direction @syzygy. I've had several go "bad" where the internal O-ring on the piston gets chewed up over time and fluid gets past. It's all internal to...

    Steering wheel lock

    No, I've never heard of this happening and I've been into the platform since 2009. That's wild.

    Excessive Crankcase Pressures

    Did you happen to check functionality of the check valve by blowing through it?

    Excessive Crankcase Pressures

    Make sure the flow direction of your check valve is correct!

    removing the differential pinion gear nut?

    If you still have the LSD/Ring gear in it, you can wedge it in place and spin off the pinion nut. If you don't have the LSD/Ring gear in it, there's no good way to hold it without the SST. If you don't care about the pinion...the jam something in there lol.

    Phate's Shop Build to Bring in a 5-Axis Mill!

    An update on this since it seems we're past the coldest part of winter. I've been using the compressor pretty consistently the past couple weeks, with weather down to ~0°F and it's had no problems starting up.

    Failed Corksport MS6 rear camber arm!

    Do the balls in the sphericals move freely? It's been a while, but this isn't the first design/quality issue from Corksport we've seen.

    Failed Corksport MS6 rear camber arm!

    That's wild. It looks like it wasn't a press fit insert (no scraping of the built up corrosion as it pulled out), but if that's a weld joint between the tube and nut then there's very little reinforcement to it (and it failed).

    Exhaust cam shaft

    The plate shouldn't be in when tightening or loosening the crank or cam gears without holding everything in place with wrenches. This happens pretty often.

    Failed Corksport MS6 rear camber arm!

    I can't tell if that sleeve is just pressed in, or if it's welded after assembly but damn - not good. Don't let the shop throw away the parts. I'd check the sphericals to see if they are crusty and hard to move - those things don't last on street cars and need to be checked often. They can...

    Need opinion

    Possibly the pressure relief valve being taxed if the only thing you did was replace the sensor. There's at least one sensor known for reading low (causing high pressure), even though it is physically identical to stock. What sensor (by part number and brand) did you use, and what year is your...

    Best Engine Oil - All Mod Levels

    Those were on the old forum, and with non-synthetic. I ran that built motor (the high compression mill) ~90k miles before I rebuilt it. Last I looked at WalMart, they don't carry any of the non-synthetic stuff anymore, lol.

    Convert MS6 Bilstein B6/B8 to Coilovers

    I've been running this setup for the better part of 10 years. I'm using Bilstein B6 as the base for my coilover setup and have had them re-valved by FatCat Motorsports. The conversion is super easy - and allows you to run a standard 2.5" ID spring in the front so you can get any spring rate...
