Re: Where do your temp gauge needle sit? over halfway?

okay thanks guys.. Yeah i noticed that too... when the car is off but ign on the gauge sits in the middle... start the engine and it goes up a bit. Must be from the increase in charging voltage causing the gauge to raise a bit.

Thanks for the advice!

Re: Auto compatibility

Well I FINALLY got the tranny in.

Had to swap a few sensors over from the old tranny to the new tranny as they were different.

The Neutral saftey switch... and the reverse sensor i think?? both had different plugs but i was able to easily swap the sensors over and get them to work properly.!!

Re: WTB: Mx3 passenger headlight housing

Is it on the inside of the light or on the outside? Do I have to take the housing or lens apart?

Re: WTB: K8 for MX3 (in good shape)

oh and pickapart has one other k8 but someone took the valve covers and its been sitting in the rain rusting all the valvetrain components. so that engine is a no go either.

Ill keep checking at pickapart tho everyday and see if they get a new k8 car in.

Re: 92 GS Auto Tranny finished. Need Tips on Replacement.

Well pulled the auto tranny out of the 94 k8 mx3. Was pretty strait forward.

Hopefully all the electrical connections etc are the exact same.
