blue98ls1 Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 My car started making a noise that sounded like a tin can being crunched, it only happened once in a while though so couldnt figure out what it was. Then anthony found this thing rattling around inside the bumper: http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x123/wannarace928/random/downsize.jpg Anyone know what this goes to? Pretty sure it is not something that was being used on the car as it seems to drive just fine, but kinda curious what it is. No part number, hose just says EPDM.

copperhead Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 looks like a power steering line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Does the hose look cut? Could be an old power steering pump line or something. That fitting looks like it may have been made to hold pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benner Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Maybe something from the air pump. It was deleted but not sure if they took everything out when they deleted it from the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Removed Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Wow sounds like 30 passes each track day has taken a toll. guess it would have helped if you put all the bolts back in the trans to bell housing, and the ones that where in it wasnt loose :gtfo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue98ls1 Posted October 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 guess it would have helped if you put all the bolts back in the trans to bell housing, and the ones that where in it wasnt loose :gtfo: I guess that "ting ting ting" sound of a bolt falling off the car really was a bolt falling off the car..... Can you check the tranny mount to make sure its ok while your under there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Hey, you're the one that hired him as a "mechanic" This car has been a fixer-upper since day 1.

Benner Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Hey. I explained it to Rob. I never had the tranny apart from the bell housing where the problem was. I removed the whole trans/bell housing as one piece. Evidently one of the previous owners before me had it apart there. So I don't want to be blame for that mess up.

Guest Removed Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 im wondering why is has junk yard markings on top of the old bell and rearend... but, the tin can noise you was hearing, was the dowel pin bouncing around inside the old bell. then when the clutch wouldnt disengage, is when the pin found a home in the disc and pressure plate, locking them together.

Benner Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Thats what i'm wondering. May account for the rear speed sensor. I'm guessing everything was either rebuilt or from a low mileage vehicle cause I never had any problems with it when I had it. And besides this incident I don't think they have either.

blue98ls1 Posted October 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 What do you mean? What about the rear speed sensor? The sensor is in there and Anthony tried replacing it. Rob, Happen to see any reason why the reverse lights dont work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benner Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 What do you mean? What about the rear speed sensor? The sensor is in there and Anthony tried replacing it. With the ABS Inop/Brake lights. I just keep trying to recall if I saw a reluctor ring in the rear end when I changed the fluid but I can't remember for sure.

Guest Removed Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 What do you mean? What about the rear speed sensor? The sensor is in there and Anthony tried replacing it. well that doesnt mean the ring is missing either, it could be a wiring issue. but if the ring is missing, then someone has changed the center carrier in it but the only way to know for sure is to pull the cover and look. more then likely needs a fluid change anyway. Rob, Happen to see any reason why the reverse lights dont work? not right off hand i didnt. every thing on it is plugged in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonneVille Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 So.... ...what the fuck was the hose from? Or did you just "inherit" it from someone else somewhere on the road? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue98ls1 Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I have no clue what it was from. Guessing either something that was removed from the car or something the car found along the road somewhere and was jealous it didnt have one so it wanted to keep it.
