Easy way to swap rear diff bushing without press?

[my2000apb]

have you played with wiring recently? oil pressure could be swapped wires, but with both issues, maybe clean the grounds?

[Kuma]

Cant say that i have messed with the wiring at all. Im the kind of person that just doesnt "get" electronics...

also, where would i clean those ground wires at? the far left gauge on the lower middle console... i think its the battery gauge? yeah thats what it is... Anyways, it doesnt always light up, but if i tap it gently, it comes back on.dunno if the gauges are just really old...

the car has over 285,000 miles on it t

clean with a file /steel wool etc the battery grounds(at battery stud and where it hits chassis) also the engine block ground(block side and chassis side. also the little collection of them near the left knee area of the driver underdash

do you have a Bentley? there is a groudns diagram

[Kuma]

in fact.. i just realized i do. but its only the wiring schematics... i didnt even think about that.

i dont recall seeing any engine wiring in the book.

[my2000apb]

the grounds are listed with their positions on one page
all at the front or back of the wiring diagrams

[Kuma]

i checked all the grounds that i could locate, and they are clean as a whistle.

no idea... Car drives great though, soo...


Also, anyone have a JHM shifter? I just installed mine and when im cruising and in neutral the shifter rattles like crazy. Unless i am holding the shifter a specific way to the side, it will rattle when going into 3rd and 5th. I can tell its not the transmission making the sound, but the i can feel it in the shifter. its really annoying.

i want it to be smooth.

unless i need new bushings or something in my shifter linkages? but i didnt see any heavy wear when i looked last.

update: I reinstalled the shifter again to see if i did it wrong. I think i did install it wrong a little. The weird little shifter arches that are underneath the shifter kinda short i think. I may install the shifter plate i had from the other shifter i had and see if it gives me more clearance so that the linkages dont make that rattling sound. It doesnt do it as bad now, but wow, what a difference...

Any helpful input is appreciated.

[my2000apb]

where or what is it rubbing rattling on? pics ?

trans mounts are good? all the jhm equipped cars I've shifted felt great

[Kuma]

one trans mount in the rear is fubar, i need a new one or a used one.

its split in half. my rear diff bushing is shot too, but i cant afford a new one yet, forgot about my anniversary this week so gotta save my cash for a night with the lady.

it only rattles a little now. it feels really good shifting, and i am not sure how to adjust it for specific % throws.

Dont take this the wronge way, this is not a bash, but how the heck did you get ahold of a JHM shifter, and you still havent found a way to replace the broken mounts? The mounts are a lot cheaper than that shifter, I know that for sure, as I have been looking at picking one of them up myself.

[Kuma]

trade deal.

cant pass those up.

i cant do the diff mounts because that would require me removing the diff and getting it pressed out.

i dont have time to have my car down, especially with school.

[Kuma]

i also have a facebook page where i sell trade and buy stuff

www.facebook.com/groups/yodalist

i recently traded a mk5 whiteline sway bar for a carbon fiber hood, then same day traded the xarbon finer hood for some mint Sawblades with tires.

im pretty good at this as of lately

[DE80q]

A JHM shifter is one hell of a trade score! Nice work.

[Kuma]

yep! cause im awesome. lol

turns out im pretty good at this stuff. lol

fixed the rattle.

i used the spacer plate from the other shifter i had to raise it up about 3mm. it doesnt rattle or clunk anymore. weird

[Kuma]

Is there a replacement for that hose that goes from the intake to the ISV? i think i am gonna have to hit up Joe Marconi.

[my2000apb]

yea, vacuum hose

[Kuma]

i ended buying this loctite tape that self adheres to itself. gonna wrap that hose to prevent it from cracking more.

[my2000apb]

why hood rig it? jstu get some damn hose its cheap
