Sorry I forgot to mention in the listing. WI, 53146

This is a rare opportunity to score a 5 speed manual transmission “case only” that can be mated to the 3.0 Mitsubishi engine found in the TC’s. The a543 uses the same internals as the 90-94 a523, a568 but the case bolts to a 3.0. I’ve always wanted to see this swap done to a TC as it would unleash tons of performance and reliability from a 3.0 TC. The case will be bare and cleaned in the coming days ahead. This is a very hard to find transmission and it won’t last long. Price $100 firm again it will be a bare case that will require a doner a523 or a568 for internal parts.

Very nice van the TC wheels look great! I put GTC lace wheels on my 94 voyager that I 2.5 turbo 5 speed swapped. I miss this van it was my daily driver that I sold a year ago.

The Sebring wheels are 16x6.5. There’s a few NOS polished sets on ebay a little pricey but they’d look very nice with all the chrome trim on a TC.

Cool spot! I’ve been there a handful of times!

Sorry, that it wasn’t yours. Triple black 16v’s seem to be the most desirable but as nice as yours is I don’t think you’ll have any problem selling.

Congrats on the sale!

I’ll take the red one

Wow Nile you’ve had your TC at Watkins Glen! I’ve been there before and that is a beautiful track! I never thought NY could have a picturesque country side until I saw it for myself. My uncle races spec Miata’s and frequently races their. I got to ride in his friends Porsche GT3 Cup from WI all the way to NY. Had an absolute blast!

The only thing is if your cars a 16v with a Getrag 284 those axles are specific to the rare 501 produced. Like Hemi said most part stores carry them. Just make sure you get a replacement axle with the ABS toner ring. Save your old axles for parts. Your better off keeping them then getting the $10 core charge back.

I like the factory wheels that came with the TC but hate cleaning them and don’t want to put wear and tear on them. I previously had Neon Srt-4 wheels on the car but I didn’t like the look and I thought 17’s were a touch too big. I like factory wheels so I found these 16” Chrysler Sebring wheels and had them powder coated. I’m really pleased with the look and fit. Good opportunity to flush the brake fluid while swapping wheels. I also decided to apply window tint over the reverse lamps and I think it looks great! Only 39 degrees in WI today but happy spring everyone!

You never want to cap off the bov it will cause compressor surge and your turbo would fail very quickly. Yes you’d have to pay to play.

A mechanical boost controller like a grainger valve is one way to raise the boost. Your other option is to buy a performance computer that has a modified cal to increase boost using your factory waste gate solenoid and vacuum routing. Like he already mentioned you’ll want to upgrade the BOV and with a stock 2 bar map sensor and overboost your limited to 14psi max.

I’ve known Rick a long time and yes I appreciate his services and wealth of knowledge. He’s also a good friend to have.

I am glad you clarified it for me. I have no problems with you or the TCA club. As an enthusiast and someone who appreciates owning a TC I know how important it is to have people willing to provide resources to keep these cars alive. With that being said I’m sorry if what I said came off wrong. I believe club member or not that someone who wants to own a TC should be able to get the help their looking for here. And I’m not saying that you don’t already do that because you reply to almost every thread on here.

Why only do business with club members? Kind of a bad representation of “the club” if you ask me. If any TC owner needed help regardless of if they’ve paid their dues or not came to me I’d help them. If owning a TC means you have to be part of a club to have the resources to fix or enjoy conversation about these cars then why would anybody want to own one? I’m not anti-club because I’m a member of the Shelby Dodge Auto Club but when you pay dues it goes to putting on an annual event that anyone’s welcome to go to and also receive news letters sent to members probably similar to yours. As for providing help, discussion, and making parts available to the community they don't single out non-members. If anything you could offer a discounted price for members but at least make them available to anyone.

Common block 2.5L tensioner with a spacer. I took measurements from my old tensioner and used some washers to get proper alinement. I prefer the plastic version with a good bearing. Gates are good.

Lebaron, daytona, spirit, acclaim any 90+ car with a 3.0

Any 90+ Lebaron with a 3.0 will be the exact same

I could actually duplicate the lens’s but they would be plastic and not glass. Probably not worth the time and effort. I’ve also thought about vacuum forming some covers but haven’t got around to it.

One more thing the HEP and cap have a keyway so they are only meant to go one way check for that as well

There’s a few other things that also could’ve happened when you replaced the distributor cap. If you pulled the entire distributor out there’s a chance you could’ve put it back in 180 out of timing. To check rotate the engine by hand to TDC with the cap off look at the rotor and verify that it is firing the #1 cyl. If it’s not simply pull the distributor back out rotate it 180 and put it back in. Now the rotor should be firing #1. Double check for correct firing order. And lastly make sure the spade terminals are pushed all the way into the cap. They should not freely pull out of the cap. It takes a lot of force to push them all the way in.

Do you have a spare power board to try out? It’s just easier to swap out than the hep on a 16v anyway. You don’t even have to take the computer out you can just unplug the white connector from the SMEC and plug it into a different power board outside of the case to do a quick check. If you need one I have several spares just shoot me a pm.

All SMEC’s have 2 connectors and all SBEC’s have 1 connector. If you have a SMEC with a bad power board you won’t get any spark. Same with a bad HEP you won’t get any spark. I would pull a plug out and check to see if you have spark. Do you know how to check? I don’t know you level of mechanical ability. Sorry
