General 8G Question Thread

[oakrdrs187]

How the hell did you do that? Was it from an early 01? I'm really curious.

Just put it on and gave it no thought.

I woukd think 8Ga is interchangeable between 2000 and 2001 but 8Gb won't work.

But it's not though... I have my 2000 with an 01 transmission.

And it jumps into limp mode. Help?

I would inspect the wiring going to the connector and inside the pan.

Got a sound coming from the front of the car mainly when I go through parking lots with dips. Don't really hear it on the road. Kinda reminds me of a marble bouncing in can. Would badcendlinks be the cause? I got new tie rods in and outter, so I guess we can rule that out.

Also got an alignment at the same time. So of it's endlinks would I need another?

Thank for any help

[oakrdrs187]

Either endlinks or something loose from the alignment.

I once had an alignment done and they never tightened my toe arm bolts on my tahoe. So if it was a recent alignment have it checked out.

Thanks for the quick response. Im gonna say I'm guessing endlinks afterwatching this video http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IPw8sqrh30g sounds exactly like my issue. Reason I rule out alignment or new tierods, is because I had this noise months prior.

Just wondering, is it possible for a sway bar to break and make this noise? My parents mazda 626 has similar sound in the rear of their car but much louder. Shop said they need a new bar, but I wonder if it's just links. Their sound differs in that you also can hear it driving not just parking lots. I know it's not galan related but figured I'd ask lol

[oakrdrs187]

So its probably just the links. As far as a sway breaking, it would take a major wreck to even bend it.

It all looked good when we pulled the pan

Then that just leaves the harness of the car. Were solenoids used, new or known good used? Also inspect fuses.

Wonder if this ties into why 2000 and up get CEL when going 5 speed.

[DTP]

Solenoids were brand new, had the same codes previously so I purchased a set and put them in.

Maybe there's something I'm missing, but it's like the ECU doesn't know what to do with the trans. I start the car, have 1, sometimes 2nd, but slams into limp mode

Threw a code for Shift Solenoid D, in limp mode. Gonna switch the solenoid but how do you know which one it is?


Service manual got me here. From 1-5 which one is D?

[tamim13]

Copied this from club3g - D is the overdrive solenoid (no. 4 in the diagram).

DTC P0765: Shift Solenoid D Malfunction
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
• When a malfunction of the shift solenoid D
(overdrive solenoid) is detected, the transaxle
control CPU inside the powertrain control module
(PCM) outputs a malfunction signal to the engine
control CPU in the PCM.
DTC SET CONDITIONS
Check Conditions, Judgment Criteria
• Overdrive solenoid failure signal is input to the
engine control CPU from the transaxle control
CPU.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely
causes for this code to be set are
• Overdrive solenoid failed.
• Open or shorted second solenoid circuit, or loose
connector.
• PCM failed.

^^^Kudos to you sir!

As soon as time allows I have a trashed tranny that I will pull the solenoids from.

Today I'm buyimg the fluid and gasket for that cover.

[oakrdrs187]

For those who have done the evo oil filter adapter swap or anyone who has replaced the oil filter adapter, what did you use for the gasket? RTV? Buy paper gasket?

Simply suspect a leak from the oil pump gasket but since a separated the adapter it might as well get done too.

On the V6 I used RTV and its been fine.

[Black8GV6]

is this the gasket you're talking about?

[oakrdrs187]

Its a little different. Triangular.

[oakrdrs187]

So with no Mitsu dealer within an hour from me I need to resort to online buying.

Need synchro set for my 5 speed its out of an 01 GS.

Any advice? Part numbers?

Master list of part numbers would be even better I could save it and use it for other things too.
