1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

im terrified to change it tho bc ive never done it before on a vehicle. However dumb that sounds.


Figure itll shift much better and smoother but the worries of slippage always plague me

 

on a manual trans its no different than changing your rear diff oil. Same process, hell I think the plugs are even the same size but don't quote me on that.

 

i fink gl5 has special additives that eat away at stuff in our trans so it's a no-no

yeah when i go to the toyota dealer to get new crush washers ill need ones for the rear diff too. Re-used it on the last change, luckily no leak besides the seal in the front now (unrelated).

 

The whole thing with slipping happening after not changing it for a long time is only relevant to auto transmissions. And usually when they do a complete flush after not changing it in 100k+ miles. Nothing to worry about like that with your manual trans. Just drain it, fill it and done...doesn't matter how long its been. It will 100% shift better if it's been a long time.

 

That things going to the dump the second I can afford a real camper

 

thank you for the reassurance ryan, this is my first MT so im used to that slippage thing in the autos. Should be next month or december Ill shoot to complete

 

Interesting. I just assumed it was all sand down here cause of the piles of sand near my house where the NDOT crews fill up. Must just be sand piles for the premix.

Well good, make sure you approve lots of nuclear plants

 

I think I need more than my measly 2" of lift up front to justify hydros

 

Petroleum industry is for me

 

Good question... I bought them so long ago I can't remember what member I bought them off of from here, but I know it was before I learned that Fresno was considered "northern" CA

 

Bolt down a hockey puck, it'll be juuuuusssssttt fine

 

Ran multiple beads, stringers and all, even stacking my welds. The tiny one on the bottom left was already there -



Here I'm messing with both push and pull methods as well. Top center and top left already there, I'm using scrap -



Point of the exercise today was simply to mess with the machine.

I'm on a Millermatic 255, and I just put in .035" wire and a new gun to it. It hadn't been used at all by any of the other classes so I had to set everything up for practice.

Started at 21.5v and 342 wire speed, ended up having to dial down to 20v and 220 with the pace I was going at.

Going to weld up T's tomorrow

 

Put the hockey puck on your coilover and you'll more than double your measly 2"
