Anybody ever looked into an electronic paddle shift install on a V6 Galant. Yes, I am lazy and do not want to do a manual 5 speed shifter.

Do you mean you want to swap in a entire transmission with paddle shifters or just the paddle shifters?
I would do the entire transmission if there were no ECU issues (Knee slapper). I have to pull to rebuild anyway. Looking at all options.Quote:

^^^ What he said, if you use the eclipse's "tiptronic" transmission then maybe you can use the paddle shifters off an Evo X MR and wire them to the floor shifter like this: http://www.evolutionm.net/forums/evo...ion-7-gta.html
I'm pretty sure the wires would be a different color though, so that you'll have to figure out
buy the manual shifter for autos for DSM. It allows to do all that.

i have seen tons of evos that race time attack hat have a sequential gearbox too, those trannys are upwards of $5000 though lol.
Thanks. Great instructions on the site. I wish I could see the pictures. Looks link the links for the picts are no longer active or have moved. I'll research this a little more. I appreciate the input. Now if I could post pictures to this site that would stick for more than a day it would be perfect.Quote:

Last trip they indicated they left a vacuum line off the EGR and that is why the code came back on. 20 miles after the second visit to remove moisture from the EGR and reattach the line, the light is on again. Now I don't feel so stupid not being able to find the problem.

Have you checked your egr solenoid? It's the little thing behind your intake manifold that has 2 vacuum lines and a 2 pin connector that goes to it. I've run across a few that got too hot and melted and threw a light. Can't remember if it was a p0400 though
That's big money and I am on a pinto budget. I did check the solenoid. It was good and the dealer confirmed it was ok. They replaced the MDP sensor but it threw the code again. They said the problem is there is a mesh ball check valve that is missing in the EGR pipe. The tube that is marked in yellow. I found no reference to any such thing in the manual. The part is in and will be installed tomorrow. You have t buy the EGR spaghetti tubes as a complete assembly to fix the problem. $80 fix. We'll see. I'll status tomorrow afternoon. Thanks for the help.
