Hey Guys i'm about to buy a 98 GSX from a private owner. everything seems to check out ok and they were very up front witht he problems. 1 the person said that they were changing the clutch in it and accientally or somehow clipped the spedometer cable so the spedometer does not work at all. what would it cost for me to replace/fix it? also they said that the throw out bearing on the clutch/shifter was going out, what would it cost for me to replace/fix that? any help is most appreciated guys. thanks.

 

thorwout bearings rattle alot in eclipses anyway. how much was he asking cause a 97-99 AWD with decent miles is not really that cheap of a car to buy.

 

8500 it HAS to go within 2 weeks that's why im getin a deal. and yea i know, very hard to find and very expensive cars

 

8500 for a 98 AWD O_o awe cmon. He should go for 5k or less especially since throw out bearings DONT rattle, and you'd have to take the tranny back out to replace the TOB, which u might as well change the clutch while your at it, and the speedometer sensor...how the hell do you clip that changing the clutch. If your good at wiring, it should be easy to fix, especially if you like tight places behind the intake manifold way down in the deep black beyond.

The 7bolt makes the price go down especially if it has been raced/modded and has high milage.

 

8500 i think sounds pretty fair, esp since i am prolly gonna talk him down in the range of 700 or so. but it also has new forged pistons, rods, rings, cams, cam gears, pullies, upgraded 18g turbo, aftermarket side mount intercooler, aem oversized brakes, hks bov, greddy turbo timer, aftermarket boost gauge, lsd on front and back, aftermarket 17' racing rims, and catback exhuast... and not to mention the GSX model is hard as a BIA to find under 10k. is sitting at apx 360chp. is engineered to hold 600+hp after i install boost controller, front mount, larger injectors and new ecu. also i was talking to the wife earlier when i heard the probs. it's not the spedo cable, it's the "meter in the transaxle" he says, the TOB is ok but he says if you really gun it, it sticks. i'm not going to replace the clutch because he just put a new masters twin plated street performance clutch with less than 5k miles on it.

 

TOB is about 25 bucks, just a pita to replace.

For the matter of the spedo cable, if you drop the tranny to replace the clutch 5k miles ago and forget to remove the spedo sensor usually the weight of the tranny greater then the tensil strength of the spedo cable. Thus why it needs to be replaced and cant be splecied back in seeing how 1g cars used cables and the 2g cars used all digital controls like normal wires. When it got ripped out it came right out of the base of the sensor.

Lastly thats a sweet deal, I cant find any 2g awd's around here for under 10g's thats not beat like a step child.

 

yea i'm pretty damn happy about it!!! my car is basicaly sold already to. I'm glad i didn't go through w/ the trade for my car for the nice *** GS-T, we were gonna trade straight up. but i'm actualy MAKING money on this buy/sell and getting AWD! so i'm sure i'll have lots of questions soon about GSX's lol ttyl guys

 

that is a pretty damn good deal. But sorry to say...if it has all those mods...it has been beatten on a bit. I dont care who drove it, you dont get all that stuff then just cruise. But either way, still a good deal. Your going to love driving the AWD.

 

its been beat but its got some backbone.
