Re: Wheel spin developed recently in all gears except 5th
 

Remember what section this is in? RK your going to have to get away from the computer long enough to try a few things. Posting ten new tech threads a day isn't going to help you. The problem you are describing is probably something simple or its all in your head.

Maybe your clutch is slipping? Why don't have somebody that has atleast some clue about cars drive your car. I am sure the answer is a simple one.

DSMs don't fix themselves, drop the keyboard and let go of the mouse, then pick up a wrench. You will find that they really not that complicated, its already fucked up, whats the worst that can happen?

Re: Wheel spin developed recently in all gears except 5th
 

I wouldn't think so, that should reduce wheel spin instead of increase it. ;)

Re: Wheel spin developed recently in all gears except 5th
 

Thats my point, his fucking wheels aren't spinning.

Re: Wheel spin developed recently in all gears except 5th
 

I think his are, but maybe not his cars' !!

Re: Wheel spin developed recently in all gears except 5th
 

It's not the clutch buddy. I've blown clutches before and I know when they start slipping.
By the way, the problem isn't in my head just because the clicking sound went away. Facts don't change just because you think it's in my head. The wheels (front) still sound like they're slipping just a wee bit the sound is pretty real. I'm driving fine though and there is no problem driving. I'm just scared that something'll break off when I'm doing 90.

This thread is the best ever! :p

Re: Wheel spin developed recently in all gears except 5th
 

ARE you guys putting me on????
I was under the car for half an hour and didn't find anything that looked like a valve. I also checked the vfaqs, dsmtalk, buschur and tuners - NOTHING pertains to a flamidation valve or has a pic. I even did a search on Google and NOTHING came up.
What does the flamidation valve look like? Size?

Re: Wheel spin developed recently in all gears except 5th
 

I'll see if I can have my parents take a picture of mine on my Laser. My dad was helping me yesterday when I took mine off and checked it over.

Re: Wheel spin developed recently in all gears except 5th
 

Well if you read your thread title there genius you say spinning in all gears except 5th. There is no fucking way in hell you are spinning your tires in 4th gear and probably not in 3rd either. Thats why I said its in your head.

Like I said, your going to have to pick up a wrench and check it out. Pull the tranny and see what you find. The problem is too vague to diagnose from a computer. That would be like calling an IS help desk because you have a rash on your cock. Its not going to help, eventually it will bug you enough and you will have to treat it on your own.

PS. Sell your car.

Re: Wheel spin developed recently in all gears except 5th
 

They put a little black rubber cap over it. Did you think they were going to have a valve floating in the breeze so a rock could get stuck in it?

Re: Wheel spin developed recently in all gears except 5th
 

Correct me if I'm wrong JET but aren't there (2) 13mm bolts which hold the valve on? The rubber cap can be popped off my a small screwdriver.

Re: Wheel spin developed recently in all gears except 5th
 

Thanks dude!

Re: Wheel spin developed recently in all gears except 5th
 

That was the 90's, the later ones you just take the rubber cap off, push in the retaining pin and use a 2.5mm allen wrench to unscrew the valve. You need to make sure the tranny is in reverse and the clutch is pushed in. I put a 2x4 between the clutch pedal and the seat to hold the clutch down.

Re: Wheel spin developed recently in all gears except 5th
 

I wish I would have known that yesterday! I took the entire valve assembly off to simply check the valve adjustment.

Re: Flamidation Valve Going Bad?
 

This is soo interesting, I dont think I had a problem like this on my old gsx...

BTW RK take it somewhere like the Mitsu dealer or LSE and have them look at it because you have no idea what your doing and wont be able to fix much... like you said on the phone when I was talking to you a couple days ago...

Re: Flamidation Valve Going Bad?
 

If I get a pic and decent instructions I can do it. I was hoping there would be a Vfaq about this, but I found none. I agree with Craig - I better get down to learning this. I'll be swapping a tranny and a ported head later this winter and I better catch on fast, starting now. I hate not knowing stuff which I think I should know.
But its a good suggestion, since all I've done before are belts, brakes and some exhaust. BTW, do I know you? I don't remember talking to you.

Re: Flamidation Valve Going Bad?
 

Oh







My







God

Re: Flamidation Valve Going Bad?
 

LMFAO! I'm said the same thing Allen.

Re: Flamidation Valve Going Bad?
 

Well, I'll have help ;) . My buddy's a mechanic. :D Coming up from Indy this winter.

Re: Flamidation Valve Going Bad?
 

Tranny and Transfer case had 100k miles on them when pulled. 1250 miles before I sold it to you.

Re: Flamidation Valve Going Bad?
 

Thats good, your going to need him. Let us know when you get that valve fixed... Hope it helps! :rolleyes:

Re: Flamidation Valve Going Bad?
 

I just remembered that I forgot to leave my Laser keys with my parents so they won't be able to pop the hood and take a picture of the flamidation vale, sorry! JET should be able to describe better than I can the location of the valve. If he doesn't post again I'd suggest giving him a call RK. ;)

Re: Flamidation Valve Going Bad?
 

:p WOOHOO,........

Re: Flamidation Valve Going Bad?
 

I'll do that. Thanks for the try Jakey! Appreciate it.

Re: Flamidation Valve Going Bad?
 

Why not just call Jet and see if you can stop over and have him show you. He has enough cars there to be able to have easy access to at least 1. It's in a tight spot and all, but shit.

Re: Wheel spin developed recently in all gears except 5th
 

Dude, it's right next to the extruder bearing. Try turning on your neons to light up the underside of the car, you should be able to see it.

Re: Wheel spin developed recently in all gears except 5th
 

That's on the 2Gs Mike. The extruder bearing is on the opposite side of the engine bay on the 1Gs.

Re: Wheel spin developed recently in all gears except 5th
 

I guess it really depends on which extruder bearing you're talking about. The one near the flamidation valve or the one near the conk lever. :cool:

Re: Flamidation Valve Going Bad?
 

I'll just call and go to JET tomorrow - I hope he has the time and the inclination. Too late to call him tonight.

Re: Flamidation Valve Going Bad?
 

You probably bumped it putting the neonz up in there. If you look down from the top on the passenger side, you'll see it. It's part number MD1548723. Kinda of a dull brown color, with yellow markings on the side. Get out there with a flashlight, it's not even midnight yet.

Re: Flamidation Valve Going Bad?
 

Actually, you'll probably find it under it's better known name, the rectal valve. Just stick your head up in there and you'll see it.

Re: Flamidation Valve Going Bad?
 

Oh wow. I don't even know what to say. I was tired and about to go to bed and now I'm in tears. Ya go see Jet about this, I'm sure he can find some time for ya and he always enjoys company!!

Or better yet, just go see Steve and he'll hook you up with a new car. He knows his shit, and knows the car companies that don't use those crappy valves!

Re: Flamidation Valve Going Bad?
 

I'm so sick of Mitsu vehicles having faulty rectal valves, one false move and next think you know its leaking brown sticky fluid all over the damn place. My g/f drives a Montero and I was looking at her valve this weekend, what a mess that was...

Re: Flamidation Valve Going Bad?
 

ROFL!!! Didnt need to know that kracka.

RK... Just a thought, you might want to check the fluid in the driveshaft. If its low it could cause it to slip there for you would not be in AWD mode anymore and it would be a lot easier to spin the tires. Good luck!

Re: Flamidation Valve Going Bad?
 

Holy $hit!

Re: Flamidation Valve Going Bad?
 

Dude,
I REALLY didn't need to know that. I just had breakfast dammit!

Re: Flamidation Valve Going Bad?
 

Wow, don't feed the noobs!!
Best thread ever.

Re: Flamidation Valve Going Bad?
 

Any luck with checking your flamidation valve RK? Have you had a chance to call JET to get his assistance?

Re: Flamidation Valve Going Bad?
 

Anybody here know about tubgirl? She had a pretty messy rectal valve

Re: Flamidation Valve Going Bad?
 

Don't even think about it. :eek:
