Ok i Just put in the 5 speed trans in the galant and ever thing is cool but i get this power loss thing going on for ex: Iam driving the car and i turn the radio up and i have headlights on and fog lights on and with then 5 minutes time my light will go out and radio for a sec then cut back on but the car dose not shut off just radio and light. Also when i press buttons in the car like windows my lights on dash board goes dim..... i had the alternator check they said its good... :120:

Did you get the batteru checked at the store. Because I know the red tops arent supposed to be fully drained then charged again.

hey man, the fact that you tightened it down doesnt mean its good. Get a replacement one of pepboys or something. they are like 7-8 bucks

ill have the batt checked then ill replace the ground wire to trans
also it only dose it when i have headlights on and fogs with radio playing at same time during the day time every thing is ok so iam thinking hids might have something to do with it

also check you battery cables they may be corroded and you can be getting a bad connection there as well. I had that happen to me 2x
