Sup guys! sorry for the late replies, but had some problems with the MR, the 3 lights u saw lit up on the ACD is a warning indicator, not from the TT. I took the car to automax because the car felt strong but i was getting the death whine. They opend up the TC to find no fluids at all present and the TC burned up! Of course that pissed me off as the car didnt come with a warranty and i just felt they were going to tell me we sold it "as is" while driving it back to the dealer, tc completly gave out....Long story short I told the dealer to repair the damage or give me my money back. So they are going to order a new TC and hydralic pump that is also damaged. They put me back in my celica until the damge is fixed. The cool thing about that is 2 days before i traded the car in, some nut rear ended me, but i never got to claim the damage. So since i have the car back i took it over to get an estimate. Ill be getting a 1700 check in the mail and returning the celica "as is" back to the dealer...LOL
Ill end up getting a stage 2 tc from shep
Ill end up getting a stage 2 tc from shepA new OEM ACD Transfer case runs about $3200 so Automax's estimate was more or less correct but still a bit high.
I need to have my Trans Case (w/o ACD) rebuilt or find a used one for an 8GSR soon

The lot that sold you your car told me that their Mechanic had never seen an Evo before and had no idea how to fix it...that's never a good sign or something you admit to a customer.

I will let everyone know when I am ready to take it out. I am getting a 5 speed from MR. Sheperd himself. I will be taking my 6 speed out and putting the 5 speed in the same day, this way it is a one day event and not a continued one. I will post up when I receive it in the mail. Thanks for all the helping hands...
if you wanny buy/make your own, i've got the tap and a few extra studs that will thread into the shaft to so you don't have to hunt...

Oh, installed my Perrin exhaust at the autocraft center last night. That downpipe was a PITA to get those spring bolts off. Even with universal joints it was difficult. THEN I have a message from Cobb that their dyno broke so I can go and get my tune today. So I have to reschedule again.
So I have to reschedule again.

post up when you're ready. i've got my custom made axle shaft puller (like on evomoto) that will help bigtime. worked perfectly when i did my front LSD install. i would have had it done easily in one day but i spent 3 hours getting my downpipe off lol. damn chewed up stud. had to take the o2 housing off with the dp and cut the bolt off. :/
