    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...

    so would it make any difference at all? better flow due to bigger diameter tubing and new design? i am getting them for free.. thats why i ask thanks Rod
  17. silver_6r
    as above... will this work.. is there any advantage? are the 997 headers the old X51 headers for 996? i am looking into getting these..thanks in advance my car: 1999 996 3.4 C2 100k km (as of yesterday!!) Rod
  18. silver_6r
    HI all... well, i just removed my mufflers... and i have one question... what is the MAX diameter that i could use for the bypass? and would having a curved pipe have any advantage? possibly WRT flow? thanks in advance for your help... i have bypass pipes on for now... hmm what a sound!!
  19. silver_6r
    thanks for the info... well, i think that i will definetly put my car away for a bit, save some cash, and get a rebuilt box... and yes i verified it has an LSD box number... so go figure... it does have 98000km on it... so who knows whats up... thanks all for the help, Rod

    Hence the reason I suggested to look at the stamping on the transaxle. The option list could be a misprint, or if you are not the original owner, the prior owners may have had the transaxles replaced and did not get the LSD. Bad clutch pacs should still allow the opposite wheel to rotate in the same direction, reason being, there is no drag and are spinning freely so worn clutch pacs may not show up spinning the wheel but act up under driving conditions. update... i havent looked under the car yet.... BUT i did want to add that as long as the car gets into 1st gear, it will not pop out... it is just having issues engaging 1st sometimes... as far as the lsd... i was also told by a reputable shop that it did have and LSD when they serviced the clutch and the gearbox oil...and when the car is in nuetral... and i turn one wheel.. the other doesnt turn at all
  21. silver_6r
    its on my options list.... MY99 with traction control and option code 220 which is the lsd
  22. silver_6r
    ok... first... the specifics... 1999 996 C2 with LSD 98000km B&M Short shift kitg GMG Sport Clutch Kit (GMG Lightwwight flywheel, Sachs Race Engineering Full Faced Disc, Sachs Race Engineering Pressure Plate) ok.. here is my problem... i know that these kits are loud... clutch out... lots of chatter... clutch in, quiet as a bug... when in gear and driving.... its sounds like i have a cut gear box...normal right? now.... here is the question... recently i have been having a little more trouble shifting from 1--2, no grind, just a little harder DOES NOT POP OUT. also i have been having to blip the gas to get into 1st from neutral... or else it wont go in all the time and actually pop out. and i feel like i really have to press the clutch pedal in to get it in 1 gear... the car is still drivable i just changed the gear oil.... some metalics and very dark... the oil was previosly changed ~10000km ago...the box got a little quieter, and ~10% smoother.... second question... when the car is in the air.. i can spin the rear tires freely...when in gear... i can spin one tire and the other goes opposite....is this normal for an LSD or are the plates worn? i know that a lot... but i thank you in advance...as my baby might have to go to sleep for awhile if i need to get a tranny.....

    I would jack it up remove the plug - lower the jack so the car is level and let any excess drain out. Then raise it up and put the plug back in. so would using one quart of heavy shock proof and two of super light weight be the right way to go? i have a '99 996 with lightweight flywheel and a B&M... loud gears.... and very notchy.... the important thing here is that 1-->2 is a little harder to get in than the rest... no grinding, no popping out... just harder to get into... so i want to put in different oil to aleviat the situation i do autoX and some track days... i DONT grind gears.. and i am very carefull when shifting... also, what fluid do you recommmend for the clutch system thanks, Rod
  24. silver_6r
    excellent!!! awesome.....thanks for the quick response!! Rod :renntech:

    hi all, i was checking my car over with the durametric software... and observed something odd... first my car feels fine..no issues, no cel, BUT the durametric software says that i am only reaching 75-80 throttle open...when the plate is actually at 100% here is a graph.... does this sound normal? car is 1999 996 C2, ~97000km
