Hey everybody!
Just bought a 1994 Camaro off of CL.
It's only a 3.4, but I have ALWAYS wanted a Camaro and this was one I could afford!
It has a repaired title, blown airbags, loose mainshaft bearings in the T5, and 203,000 miles on it. Just my style!!
I've turned a few wrenches, rebuilt a few transmissions, and drive heaps that usually run really well!
I can't wait to participate in this new venue!
Thanks!

OK.
Just got the T5 back in with a new LUK clutch, machined flywheel, and bronze pilot.
It feels great! Setting it down on the tires and getting it legal to drive, paperwork-wise.
BTW- my trans parts guy gave me a tip: soak the pilot in Dex III for a while before installing. I'm glad I did! I found a small pile of shavings in the bottom of the cup when I took out the bushing for installation! It also soaked up quite a bit of fluid.
Will post again after test drive!

Well, OK. Just took it out yesterday for a good long test drive.
The T5 shifts beautifully! But I think I will have to work on the rear end. Lots of noise when the rear axle is loaded. It leaks like a sieve from the left valve cover! I tightened the two studs I can reach (they were barely finger-tight!), but LOTS of smoke pours out from under the hood!
BUT, it pulls pretty good! Not bad for $600! OH! And the oil pressure drops out to near zero once the engine has fully warmed up.

Changed it out with a BWD Select sender and the smoke went away and my oil pressure is reading RIGHT where is should be.
I LOVE THIS CAR!!!

PROBLEM FIXED! The oil pressure sending unit was leaking all over my exhaust Y-pipe! So I knew that I wasn't getting an accurate reading at that point.
