turbo970's 92 tw rebuild with updates

[turbo970]

thats what he said that was causing the binding. i'm already pricing out reman'd trans.

[turbo970]

well he said he was ordering a low mileage trans from a jdm import shop out of texas. he wants me driving my car finally by the end of the month . fingers are crossed

[turbo970]

[turbo970]

jdm trans didnt work because he said it was too new ie from a 97. so we sourced a reman one from portland. should be here and in the car by next friday. keep ya fingers crossed. this has been a long and stressful process.

this is the shop i'm getting my trans

[Legacy777]

Their site and info on the site looks to be good and would be a reputable shop.

[turbo970]

the trans has a 5 year 100,000 mile warrenty

[turbo970]

well the trans shop in portland didnt work out. local trans shop is working on it. the hold up has been the torque converter

[mike-tracy]

Damn it! What did they say about the torque converter?

[turbo970]

it was shot and i guess there were options. there was type of color code and the one on mine was either warn off or faded

[turbo970]

still waiting on a torque convertor. does it really take this long to get one

[mike-tracy]

No it shouldn't. Sounds like someone dropped the ball, like promised the tranny shop something they didn't have.

[turbo970]

i finally get the subie back monday or tues day. i saw my freshly rebuilt trans today. fingers crossed

[turbo970]

minus a trans mount the subie is done. i get to pick it up tomorrow finally lol

[turbo970]

drove the subie yesterday. pulls good. but still idles high and shifts at high rpms. they pulled the codes and the new tps is bad. so they ordered one and will be here friday.

[turbo970]

well good news and bad news. good news i got my subie back today. its drive able but not perfect. the replaces the tps and fix the wiring at the plug for the tps but the idle still high then low. and shifts at 5000 rpms . he said to try a another tcm

[CAV3MAN227]

-Wow, what a trip you have been on. I'm impatient and I would have been pissed! Hope you get it running correctly.

-Joe

[turbo970]

well i'm looking online for a tcm. i can drive it if i shift it manually

[turbo970]

pulled 2 codes from the tcu 31 and 32. i know the 31 is the tps and its new and set right but still have a high idle. code 32 is the vss 1 if i remember right. my speedo works but the shift points are way off. would a bad vss cause the high rpm shifts

[Legacy777]

I replied to your other two posts about VSS1.

[turbo970]

kk thanks. i gave the subie a bath today gonna take some pics too

[turbo970]

well i waiting on the trans harness. i checked the tps with mt digital multi meter and its with in specs. the idle is still high. it will go up to 2500 then slowly drop to 1100 or so then after i it the throttle it goes to 500 and just kinda sputters with out dieing . friday i got the leak fixed and they checked the old trans harness and what ever the did made the shifts points drop to 4500 rpm. so i'm starting to thing something in the harness is messed up. but i cant get the tps code to clear no matter what i try .

God TPS issues are trending HARD!

I feel like you need to adjust the TPS again, not really sure what else. If it's not rotated right (in the right spot) it will throw a CEL. Did you line up the TPS with the white marks to the screws that hold it in?

You have been waiting FOREVER to get this thing running..

[turbo970]

theres no white marks on mine

[turbo970]

pulled the plugs today to check the gap and they were soot black. this pos is running rich. any ideas what causes a rich mixture besides the O2 sensor. and the only codes showing are the tps and VVS 1
