    Try and keep this short. I pulled the original A555 out of my 89 Daytona Shelby in the spring because it made noticable noise in all gears, but it shifted fine and held power fine - just noisey - bit of a whine/rattle, espeically in 5th and worse the faster you go, it whines under throttle and...

    I have a 1986 dodge daytona 2.2L t1. I have to rebuild my turbo as it has a blown seal, and I wanna be 100% sure it has the garret t3 turbo in it before I go ordering the kit off ebay. So, is it the Garrett t3?

    Hello, I am currently rebuilding a 1986 Shelby Omni that is projected to put out around 300hp. I am putting a 3-speed automatic a413 into the car because I drive with hand controls. That being said, what is the best way to rebuild the a413 to ensure that it will not crumble behind the 300hp...

    Just finished rebuild, bolted it all back up, and the car won't move. It's like it's stuck in park and it doesn't seem like it's trying to go in gear, etc (even when given gas). I am almost positive I linked up the park rod correctly, and even if not, the car should still try to go into gear...
