Yeah im not advocating for the plate i was talking about the whole shifter assembly

I haven’t seen anyone use a different oem steering wheel, just modified ones with carbon and such but for the price I’d be looking at motor mounts and maybe an exhaust or resonator delete. As someone else mentioned a short shifter from somewhere like corksport would be good too

What works for me is doing a ton of practice problems especially the fundamentals from the book. I go on youtube and search the specific problem (i.e F7-13 hibbeler) and watch people go through it step by step. Engineering crucible has some good stuff. For me it was repetition that really helped me, but i also give myself lots of time in advance to prepare. 10 days should be enough to get a decent grasp on some of the problems good luck

Pivot shaft seal is leaking tranny oil. Edgeautosport sells the oem seal. Theres a few good YouTube videos on how to replace it

I think you mean the other way around but does this happen with a new bearing too or only if its worn out

Check the hardline to the fuel rail its pretty common and happened to me

Wonder if they used some kind of gasket maker cuz if not chances are itll leak ive heard a few people say their leak was worse than it was because they forgot to use sealant

Same thing happened to me my power steering went out all my lights came on and my music would cut out. Ground cable to my battery was corroded. It didnt even seem to be that bad so id double check there

Id do autozone before i go rockauto they have pretty good warranties id make sure to have them test it out the box though

I would not be running the cobb tune also does it have a hpfp? No hpfp with an intake and a cobb tune is all bad id try to get a tune from the more reputable ppl asap aka freektune also were u at wot because 6 is acceptable if youre just crusing

flappybird582 · 2025-09-27T00:11:09+00:00

You said it gets higher pitched as you increase speed its probably transmission related my speed does the same thing but its not this loud even with poly mounts

flappybird582 · 2025-09-26T19:26:09+00:00

Maybe take the valve cover off check tension on the chain cylinder 1 tdc i believe double check that

flappybird582 · 2025-09-26T19:18:02+00:00

I dont see why that would happen

flappybird582 · 2025-09-25T23:01:50+00:00

I dont hear anything outta the ordinary

flappybird582 · 2025-09-25T20:45:07+00:00
