Lots of questions...

Post by Gods Father »

ok so im in the middle of my swap and ive run into a few little problems...ok first i was just wondering if anyone knows where to get a whole new shifter bushing kit? cause i went to advanced auto and the guy there didnt know what was goin on...i was also wondering about the end of the shift linkage that connects to the engine one of the shift linkage arms connects to a little spindle thing...anyone know where to get one? cause mines rusted off pretty much...also i was wondering what alternator belt to get after i take out my a/c? was there a 2.5l without a/c? ALSO (haha) my K8s power steering pump is different than the one on my KLZE...can i just put k8 one on?...there was a few other things but i need to take pictures to ask...ill get on that later...thanks for all your help guys...

I recommend getting the Bronzoil bushing kit from CorkSport. I also recommend getting the short shifter. But just the bushing kit will make your shifting much more precise, and won't wear out like the plastic ones.
That's all I can help with.

I bought all my stuf from the Dealer. Got a good price and everything fit. I hope your not saying the arm from the trans is screwed or is it just the linkage arrm? You can get the ends made at any welding shop just measure the distance from the hole center at one end to the center hole at the other end. The holes are different sized so get new bolts from the dealer so you can have the shop drill them to size. The plastic bushngs from the dealer are like a couple of bucks each, worked like 40.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

go to the local auto store and get a belt for a 96 probe GT (2.5L) without A/C - worked for me :) I recommend Gates belts.

I would assume that you should run the K8 one, because it's made for your system, and runs independently from the engine. Just my opinion, though... I don't know for sure.

i thought the same thing i was just unsure if it would directly bolt on and if there was a certain speed it needed to be going or somethin...

If you did not have a/c on your k8 then swap the whole pulley tensioner, the one that tightens the alternator belt (change the alternator to your old one if it still wokrs) the mounts worked fine for me no rocket science.

The power steering pump is a change to, it will fit just fine (use the old one all the way aka all the pwr steering parts.). btw change the o-ring for the out pipe/tube with an aftermarket one cuz the old ones don't last long.
hope this helps
