    Loose accelerator cable?

    My '01 Sport has a weird problem, the accelerator cable has a lot of slack in it, I can pick up the cable itself, metal not the casing and pull it up about half a inch before it moves the butterfly or the pedal itself. Inside you can push the pedal about half inch down before there is any...

    Speedometer jumping ahead, not bouncing?

    I have noticed that from time to time my speedometer will all of a sudden jump and hold a higher than right speed. Yesterday I was on my way to work, getting on I35, had to rapidly accelerate to about 70-75, not punching it but getting on it alittle more than normal. So I settle to a 70mph...

    Gas pedal bushings?

    I have noticed that my gas pedal has a lot of play in it, back forth, and side to side. So I looked where it is attached to the firewall, at the pivot point, and it appears the bushings are pretty worn out. Has anyone replaced these, and how involved is it? Also where did you find the new...

    Transfer case noise?

    I found out today while reinstalling the transfer case, that this loud clunking noise that I have been hearing for awhile now, is coming from inside the transfer case. Basicly the noise is a pretty loud clack noise when ever you turn either yoke and then change directions. It happens in all...

    Rear main seal replacement.

    Ok, my rear seal is leaking pretty good, at 104k, I guess its about that time for a new one. I am wondering what all is involved it replacing it. I know that the trans has to be removed, and the converter/flywheel, or in my case the clutch/flexplate, to get at it. My chilton claims it can be...

    Need new 5spd for 1st gen X!

    Title says it all, after a measly 10k miles on my rebuilt M5od, the 5th gear has decided to develop one hell of a knock. So much for the standard being more reliable than the a4ld. After listening to some shops, I have come to the conclusion that I will self install the next one, as the prices...

    Oil pressure guage...

    Seems my oil pressure guage is a little lower than normal, actually its sitting on the "o" while its usually on the "r". Not the end of the world, but I have noticed that the guage is not moving, even when you cut the truck on and off. Can someone tell me if their guage drops with the key off...
