Lol, he drove mine and nearly put a hole in the floor at red line trying to shift. Automagic will happen but it's not that easy.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
A big thanks to MAP for hooking me up with some Link lite action. Woot!

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
^Automagic, I'm fixing that issue soon I hope.
Got the parts motor out and tore down to timing stuff, I have a water pump and ordered the rest of the stuff from MAP so early next week for that and then I have all the trans stuff to flush it out and put it in. All thats left is non abs stuff and then drop it in, then time to find some plates or title. |
Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
Well that last post made my list of stuff to do sound easy.
Well not so much. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._3582616_n.jpg Look at the lower right hand corner of the above pic, I believe that line is rear drivers line. Wednesday I should be taking care of it though |
Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
Well i made an adapter line and somehow lost the union fitting I picked up on sunday, so tomorrow I will have to grab that before i drop the motor in.
Today I got off my lazy behind and did the bsek and t-belt job by myself. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._3464032_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._4307178_n.jpg This is how you get bearings out: http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-...4_429904_n.jpg End of the night: http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._8326146_n.jpg All that is left is to get that union and snug the brake lines, delete the ABS lines (electrical sensors), swap AC compressors, drop trans and engine in, do a filter change on the trans and fill fluids and I should be off. |
Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
So I wanted to add this FYI:
I paid $200 for this awd unseen, I have sold $80 of parts off it so far and I just got $82 for the cat off the parts car. Tomorrow i will take the one off the auto, then I will have a sweet $40 automagic dsm. |
Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
Price of cats must be up again. Imagine having to knock those bearings out with the motor still in the car.. That was a fun hour or so cramped up in the wheel well. Looks like your making good progress so far! Keep it up!

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
So I got the accessories on, had to go to 2 different O'reillys to NOT get an axle ended up getting a 5 spd lifetime one from NAPA.
I made 3 trips to O'reillys for the right brake union, picked up a battery and terminals too. Apart from that motor is on the hoist, TQ converter is sitting with fluid and trans is ready to be attached. My garage is a fricken mess and I can't stand it, but hopefully it will be over soon once this car is running. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._6343223_n.jpg The left corner square by the garage door is taken up completely by parts. Hopefully tomorrow is the day and I can relax and enjoy my small investment, I can't lie I really have the itch to go fast and it won't be from weight reduction. |
Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
Looking good. This thing will be nuts when its up and running. I better not ride in it or I'll have to do an auto swap.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
Nice! Sorry I couldn't stick around to help really. Gimme a ring tomorrow, I'll be up around 10ish.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
Looking good man!

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
Well, the car is 100% together its on jackstands for the initial startup.
sadly we think the pump is dead, have 12V all teh way to the pump when cranking, MFI relay works. SO basically once I get a pump I can see where I am at, another failure is that my line wrenches aren't able to do the job, so hopefully some vice grips will solve teh problem come monday. |
Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
Looks like a nice project for sure! I can't wait to get started on my 2g auto build! Unfortunately mine will take much longer. But I just picked up this shell with 50k original miles, and....WHITE!
