    Call GBOX in Colorado...talk to the owner or the lead mechanic there. they will help you diagnose your issues.... free..... 5757 Arapahoe Ave. Unit C1 East Boulder, Colorado 80303 Phone: 303.440.8899 i have been pushing them alot.. but they saved my walled a lot of $$$ and talk 2 days to turn around!! and they will actually spend time to talk to you rod

    i basically sucked out all the fluid from the reservoir with a hand pump and hose..... filled the reservoir with new fluid..... turned the car on.. and turned the steering lock to lock several times.... repeat... there are other ways... but this is the easiest
  4. silver_6r
    do a search for "2nd gear pop out", gears not engaging or anything like that on this forum or 6speed. or you can call them and they will explain it to you. basically it has something to do with how much room there is for the gear to engage in 1st and 2nd gears... so i cant really remember the specifics, but GBOX will explain it to you even if you dont buy from them. i talked to the master mechanic for over 30min.... and i hadnt even told them i wanted to get my box fixed http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/996-tur...click-here.html

    i just flushed an entire bottle of PENTOSIN through the system... and the fluid is still coming out black, but getting cleaner..... so yea some definite degradation somewhere....
  6. silver_6r
    yup thats the first thing i did... i know there technically isnt a "bleeding" method other than turning the steering lock to lock several times, but i wonder about the fluid. i mean all oils are hygrophilic (absodb water) so a full flush would bo good every 100K km's or so?!
  7. silver_6r
    well, i havent looked yet.. but i did talk to SUNSET in oregen... REMAN PORSCHE RACK, plus all tie rods and parts (boots and ties) ~$830..which is a steal compared to canadian pricing! but, i dont think this should be something i need to do for some time.. i havent lost any fluid and dont have any bubbles or anything else in the pup reservoir....

    see my post on 6speed... GBOX kicks ***! honest and quick service.... i got my box replaced, they swapped my LSD form my trashed box to there new one and replaced the won LSD plates... ~$3500 they also modify the internals to eliminate future engagement issues... talk to Josh.... 5757 Arapahoe Ave. Unit C1 East Boulder, Colorado 80303 Phone: 303.440.8899 Fax: 303.440.0994

    my understanding is that an engine needs some backpressure. bypass removes just about all of it so you'll experience some loss of torque at low RPMs. as to whether or not they'll add 12 HP, the only way to know for sure is to dyno your car with them. try getting on a dyno check the HP and then get on the dyno again without mufflers. this will show you what changes, if any, you'd experience with bypass pipes. its has been proven that NOTHING ADDS ANY SIGNIFICANT power increase to NA engines other than a SC. i have had muffler by-pass pipes.. and other than sounding wonderful... do not add HP... and for street use are not good as they shift the torque curve way up... noticably. make your own with 90' stainless elbows, weld straight sections to them... get a shop to flare out one side so that they slide over the exhaust.... add tips... or not.... WAY CHEAPER...same result

    nobody got any ideas? LOREN?!

    seems normal, what else was on while you where at the light? radio, AC, heater, heated seats etc. these will all make your voltage momentarily go up and down. and i would check your battery to see if it is holding a charge using a voltmeter. but it is usual to see the voltage drop at startup, especially as it gets colder.... as long as it comes up right after the car has finished cranking and is running Rod

    HELLO ALL... AGAIN! so... i have the following issue... when i turn to the RIGHT...and ONLY THE RIGHT... i get some whining from the front of the car... i can only hear it from inside the car... i stood outside of the car and couldnt hear anything. the whining is present while stationary and rolling. it does seem to go away if i turn the wheel slowly... i checked the PS fluid... looked clean. i added about maybe less then 10ml to the reservoir, which i think is a normal amount. i have no leaks, no increased steering effort. it has gotten colder around here...but thats about it. 1999 996 C2 6 speed ~102000 km canada thanks all in advance...
