I am at a loss for this "torque steer"
(Archive: TD&Q - by Leeloo88, started: 03-30-2007, archived: 2009-02-19 10:45:42 CET)
So here's the problem: My 88 Formula 282 5spd pulls to the left but tracks straight when I apply the gas, when I let off to shift or coast it returns to the right and tracks straight yet again. The difference is about 3*-5* between the two states of acceleration/deceleration.The car was in...

Project 3.4 TDC / 4-speed muncie swap underway...
(Archive: TD&Q - by Darth Fiero, started: 02-29-2004, archived: 2005-08-18 10:13:59 CEST)
Embarking on yet another engine swap here at "Darth's Garage". This time, I will be swapping in a 91-95 version of the 3.4 TDC (DOHC) engine into an 86 Fiero GT that has a 4-speed muncie. I believe someone had parked this car in a field for a couple of years because I nearly filled up my shop vac...

3.4L DOHC or 3800 SII SC?
(Archive: TD&Q - by Blue Shift, started: 11-08-2004, archived: 2005-04-10 10:37:31 CEST)
I bet this is an old topic - sorry bout that in advance. Anyways, I have a few questions about engine swaps for people who have actually done either the 3800 SII SC swap or the 3.4L DOHC swap and can share their opinon on how it went:1.) Which one costs more to complete, on a "nothing fancy, just...

Anyone experienced On-Off behavior on a new Spec 3 on reverse?
(Archive: TD&Q - by Alex4mula, started: 02-22-2010, archived: 2011-05-02 10:42:42 CEST)
I swapped a Getrag to my auto Formula and today bled the clutch and finally got it moving for the first time. I installed as SPEC Stage 3 clutch. Moving forward in 1st it grabs quickly but I let it slip a little and overall it grabs quick but normal. Now on reverse it is acting like an on-off...

SBC Overheats, but only after 20 minutes
(Archive: TD&Q - by Saxman, started: 11-25-2006, archived: 2009-09-07 11:05:06 CEST)
Help!I figured out that the electric fan was blowing backwards, and thought I had the problem licked, but todays run confirmed that is still heats up too much.So far, I put two holes in the new 180 degree thermostat, got the cooling fan spinning in the right direction and burped the system by...

alignment q: Toe IN or OUT?
(Archive: TD&Q - by Graudefas, started: 02-21-2005, archived: 2005-08-18 10:15:52 CEST)
I have a really simple (hah!) alignment question for my '88GT. The manual, and all the specs at the dealer, give a figure for "toe". Now, when I was a boy, and cars had drum brakes, you had a choice of toe IN, or toe OUT. Most cars ran with toe-in of maybe 1/8".When the GT was aligned, they toed it...

Spec 2 Clutch SC882 is wrong on my 3.4 dohc!
(Archive: TD&Q - by Mike Murphy, started: 12-14-2005, archived: 2006-08-11 13:11:33 CEST)
Car was ready to drive out the door and all that was left was to bleed clutch. Bled it all the way out and still no engagment but a lot of screeching from throwout bearing or something else but I do not know what it could be. Spec said that 9 out of 10 times this is the clutch to use when I...

SPEC clutch problem
(Archive: TD&Q - by 3.4Turbo, started: 06-08-2006, archived: 2007-03-15 11:28:10 CET)
I had a problem with my stage 2 spec clutch in my 88 GT 3.4 swap with 282 Getrag 5 Spd. The center hub was installed backwards on the disc resulting in destroying the T/O bearing and the sleeve/seal that it rides on. Not only did I have to drop everything out to replace it, the 282 will need the...

I have a Caster question?
(Archive: TD&Q - by BAM-BAM, started: 08-05-2000, archived: 2001-02-19 12:05:28 CET)
I finaly get the suspension finished and take it down for an alignment. I go back two hours later only to find that they couldn't do it because the the cross caster was to far out, 2.56*. The alignment guy told me that the passanger side was back and the driver side was forward and that I would...
