Hey thanks for the kind words about my amateur AF how-to video :) Regarding the oil for the box, you're fine to use Dex3 for a fresh fill (not sure if it's compatible with what's in there atm so you might have to run the closest thing you can find). One of the factory fixes in Australia for gear rollover noise in the cars we got with T56's was to fill to the normal filler plug height then add another 500ml through the reverse light switch hole. You'll probably want to do that because of the angle the box is now on, should help with lubrication up the front of the box.

@@jsquared1013 This is me with my Thunderbird and my shed. I keep ordering shelving and welding equipment to build the workshop portion in my shed so I have an excuse to ignore my Thunderbird that has a misfire. I got the misfire down from a constant misfire to a once-every-10-seconds misfire, took the battery out to drain the electrics and reset the KAM... and that was a month ago. I just have to walk out there, lob the battery back in, and let it re-learn timing, but pulling shelving out of cardboard boxes and assembling it makes my brain dispense the happy chemicals. This week's distraction from that distraction though is my brother is paying me to build him a computer and replace the front bumper on his car that got obliterated by a deer. The ride of getting distracted by equally, if not more pressing things never ends. At the same time when you've been chasing the problem for a year and replaced every single consumable you could get access too your brain starts to get bored with it and needs to find something else to give that dopamine hit.

Rz is a digraph (2 letters for 1 sound) in Polish and old Czech spelling. In Czech it made rž sound (sound between r and ž, ž being 's' in 'usually'), while in Polish it joined Ž (or in Polish spelling Ż).

I smoked my 2nd T5 this week. The speedo is screw driven. Which means if it's not plugged, it turns into an Archimedes screw, only pumping out oil when driving. Fun times.

[@joshmurphy2766]

The 2x stack of spacers is awesome and triggered a great memory for me...Back in 2003 I had a 1996 mustang with a T5 and I made my own short shifter by putting 2x 1/4" spacers under the existing shifter, and I drilled a new hole for the fulcrum ball pin to move it up 1/2" (instead of cutting and extending the bottom shift ball) I also chopped off 3" of the top of the shift lever, and I was left with a painfully short 1" throw shifter. I actually bruised my palm the first week of driving because I was previously used to the 3" long shift throw!

[@misterdeedeedee]

gl5 has additives and friction modifiers that will make make your syncros slip too much and wear them out (or something to that effect idk), as a bonus older gl5 formulations would also corrode brass which is what they made syncros out of for quite a while.

Hilarious how many of the same issues I had when putting an NV4500 on my 488 Magnum 8.0L V10, the all iron cousin of your engine. The NV4500 calls for the same fluid because of the carbon synchros, but like you said it doesn't exist anymore. Red Line MT85 is another common suggestion I see, but TBH I couldn't be bothered to spend $23 or more a quart and I won't be towing. So I went with Valvoline Synchromesh MTF because if you find the right PDF it is listed as a replacement for Syntorq and I managed to get it for less than $7.50 a quart. Weird mix of imperial and metric fasteners on the trans and engine as well. I still can't tell what all of them are. Plus your engine and my engine both use some bolts that no other Chrysler uses. Flywheel bolts specifically! My driveshaft process will end up being nearly identical to yours as well, but I will be keeping IRS which means a stationary diff which does make it all a bit easier.

[@dipling.pitzler7650]

The "Ferrari style" gated shifter plate is a real beauty , it turns the car into a Viperrati ! PS : Offering the shifter plate online for other car models might start a new business on the side!

[@jsquared1013]

Metal gated shifters are actually a huge pain in the ass because any fraction of a mm misalignment that inevitably happens (bushing/bearing wear in the linkage, different expansion rates of the materials in winter vs summer, etc) will cause the shifter to rub on the gates or even bind. On a shifter with a boot you'd never even notice.

[@electrake2063]

@9:00 Min, yeah, I have a Jeep with locking diffs. The signal that is fed back shows when the differential ACTUALLY successfully locks. Many times it takes a bit to get it to actually lock. Mine are Dana 44 diffs, and I BELIVE it is a contact closure. It's a touchy thing to NOT damage when installing the differential, the switch needs to be held OPEN (pulled out) with a split piece of tubing that you tie off to a string for removal once the differential cap-bolts are tightened. IF you don't hold it OPEN and install the diff and tighten down the cap-bolts you WILL ruin the switch. Not 100% sure it is a contact closure, but I believe I tested mine and I don't think it is a networked or 4-20mA signal. good luck!

If you run your brake lines mounted to the bottom link bar you only need about a 6” long flex line on both ends of the link bar. And it’s protected a lot better.

The GL4 vs GL5 is correct, certain mopar and Gm transmissions used the syntorq, like the t56 and nv4500, I use amsoil, they were the cheaper option for my nv4500 as opposed to redline

[@davidfarmer]

the double worm screw hose clamp balancing works really well. I used it to balance my little cnc lathes spindle. also if you can do some math, or have a decent cad software you can use the screw clamps to balance it, then calculate the center of mass of the screw clamps and select an appropriate weight to weld onto the shaft.

[@ryan.crosby]

I recently did my clutch, and the instructions for dropping the transmission started with "drain the transmission fluid". I had no idea why, but I did it anyway since I figured it needed a change. Well, now I know why. It pukes it out the back (but why does it puke out the back?)

[@jaredlancaster4137]

​@@ryan.crosbyit pukes out because most transmissions can't seal without a driveshaft in place. The seal seals against the driveshaft. I think they do this so the splines are lubricated with transmission fluid, but I still don't like it.

[@DonnieRoebuck]

"Let's pull out the transmission to install the driveshaft"...this is hysterical to me because it mimics my projects so closely.

[@mvdesigncustomworks5460]

I made a shifter for my aircooled vw using the same principle. The stock shaft was too short and I had to hunch down to shift, so I build a short shifter with a longer shaft, so the throw is a little shorter than stock, but with the ball some 10 cm above the stock location.

General guidelines on inch vs metric fasteners. If the component into which the fastener is being threaded was originally developed during an era when inch measurements were the norm, that component will likely use inch fasteners. If the component was originally developed after metric became the standard it will use metric. I've had a lot of 90s GM and Mopar vehicles, and generally the engines and axles use inch fasteners, while the bodies use metric. Suspensions are usually metric. Transmissions and transfer cases will depend on the model, and transmissions in particular often have a mix, just like in this case. Since the V10 in the Viper is a derivative of the old Chrysler LA small block, I would expect it to use inch fasteners.

[@Ava31415]

[@michaelkrenzer3296]

Gm favorite, since we race mostly Buick 3800 powered vehicles, is when the the answer to "what size is that bolt" results in 4 different correct answers. 3800 valve cover bolts until the end of the production about 2009 were SAE threads. By about 1997, almost anything on the cars they were installed in were metric. GM did the most GM thing possible and just made the bolt heads metric. So there are four possible valve cover bolts for the after-odd-fire GM 90 degree V6 (Series 1-3 3800) and I swear our spare motor had all four.

@@michaelkrenzer3296 I'm not saying you're wrong, because I certainly haven't seen everything, but that would make zero sense. There's no reason to put a metric head on an SAE fastener.
