Galante's 8g Build

[Galante]

I will clean those brackets for sure.

Yes, I'm glad to have a local who was parting out his evo 8..

[Galante]

I'm just waiting for all the parts to arrive on my door step. So far all necessary parts have been ordered.

[Galante]

Clutch kit came today..

[Galante]

[stvn_mj]

Thanks! Appreciate.

I'm glad to have sold before anybody does.

I wonder where to buy good fitting shift boot for our g?

[stvn_mj]

If I was you I would just make one so you know it fits right. I need to sell this tranny so I can start looking into my next project.

not the 3000gt boot.. lol I bought it cause someone said in the 5 speed swap thread that it fits, but nope, it doesn't fit. It's too skinny. For the amount of money I wasted, I'd rather just get one custom made. If someone you know has a sewing machine though, it really shouldn't be that hard to make. It's just a matter of getting the right material

wasnt HungarianHunter selling them?

I wanted to buy one from him but back when I asked in December, he said his mom's sewing machine was broken :(

the 3k gt boot works fine as does the integra one.the trick is to take the original auto teim piece with prnd12 and dremel out the whole center leaving only the edges. wrap the boot around it and secure it either by scews, zipties or when i had it i made slits and just put it around the guide tabs that line it up to the center console. screw it back in then put the trim bezel back on and it wont be saggy anymore or show the whole shifter

[beam514]

dang I think I already threw away that part lol. The boot is super skinny though. I can't imagine it fitting around anything.

[fatal1]

the one i had worked fine. it stretches a bit too but i didnt have to do too much to get it on really

on a side note if you have a guy parting out an evo why not do like what me and stewi did? he used only the circle trim ring, and molded it to the stock bezel where mine is the actual console cut and molded to the shifter bezel. its not too hard and will look clean when done. we both have pics floating around the site

[Galante]

Thanks Craig! I might just have my in law custom sew it for me..

Got the Master Cylinder, brake and clutch pedal installed today..

I'm still gonna put some clay on there where i drilled the holes for the alarm and amp wires.

Lookin good so far. Another option for the shift boot would be from a Mazda MX-6 or 2G Ford Probe.

[Galante]

^Thanks

I have question about the reverse solenoid male socket on the 3g manual tranny. Is there an existing auto female socket that will fit on there? I know where to get the wires from the black harness but i wonder where to get the female socket for it? Any install pics would be nice.

Thanks guys!

[fatal1]

you can just use a universal female connector, if you dont find the plug. its no big deal

[Galante]

Gonna get a universal one tom.

Gonna swap the tranny and shifter cables this coming Saturday.

[Galante]

I'm disappointed w/ our local Mitsu dealer.. The guy i was talking too forgot to place my order from last week! I don't think I can proceed w/ the swap this Saturday if I don't have the flywheel bolts and some various bolts/washers to install the clutch line brackets.
