HAHAHA, Never pull out, man that **** up son!.


Other note im going to try an order my Cusco Rear Control Arms hopefully they arrive before the install. Just installed my Kartboy short shifter, for some reason 4th gear makes a whining sound once in awhile.

 

was that you i passed by this evening near kuntz gate?

 

Thanks for the offer guys, but I think I'm going to wait for the rest of my parts to come in before I install anything

 

If you are referring to me, I am not on hickam during the weekends. Just weekdays during the evening.

 

By the middle school? I probably live walking distance to you.

 

Yea I live right behind the middle school, well 2nd street over.

 

Downfall, my DP just came in today. You think we can get to that after your suspension? If not, I'll just take care of it sometime this week.

 

Yea man, that sounds like a plan, I have never done that before but dont mind learning I am sure the guys wouldnt mind. Bring it with you bro.

 

Sorry I just saw the second part to this when I was looking for the install date. Did you apply any grease to the linkage's rubber boot? It's the boot that the shift linkage that connects to your new SS. I've read that because you're changing the angles that, that linkage operates at when using a SS the linkage tends to rub on the rubber boot. I've seen some people cut or trim the boot to increase clearance and I've seen some people apply grease to the boot, i.e lube . Hope this helps with the whining.

 

No I have not tried that, Its a really weird sound that comes an goes from 4th or 5th gear. I'll have to take another look i'll be applying more grease to it as there was not much when I unistalled it, thinking I could just reuse the stock grease. Also my kartboy SS came with a black bushing inside the shifter, should I have used the Stock bushing from the old Shifter?

 

No, you did right. KB's come with TIC bushings now IIRC.

As for the noise, I'm not a GR guy, but on the older ones a short shifter will often hit the metal surround. That would make a whine/buzz maybe.

 

The bushing that came with the SS should be good. If you're in no rush, I'll just bring some extra grease and we can lube that puppy up too at the suspension install.

 

Awesome sounds like a plan, cant wait to get this suspension in, just intime for the cruise on the 28th

 

what time you looking at haveing this install day?

 

i came to this thread to ask the same lol
