hey guys... i got myself a vacuum control valve from the wreckers for $10. i know where all the lines go though im not 100% sure on where the one goes that connects into the intake manifold. could some please take a picture of where it goes?

if u dont know wat im talking about, the TM gearboxes have a 5th gear controlled by vacuum. as u look at ur gearbox from the front, right at the bottom of it there is a tank looking thing with 2 black hoses coming out of it. 1 goes up to the control valve (one on the left) and the one on the right goes up and around the back of the engine and connects into the back of the intake manifold.

this is where i need the picture taken to know exactly where it connets. please help, i want my 5th gear back lol

yucky

how the hell does that work, the shifter only has 4 gears + reverse, and 5th cuts in automatically?

5 speed = manual gearbox

autos are 4 speed

5 speed = manual gearbox

wrong, you forgot limp mode, thats a gear on its own if you've ever been in it lol

5th gear on the TM is selected by a vacum servo, it moves the input shaft over and effectively makes another gear ratio. ill take a pic of mine 4 ya.

here it is, i have found that the auto manifold that came spare with my 2nd hand engine, didnt seem to have the connector for it.

yay, someone that knew what i was triyn to say and didnt think i was total idiot :D

so its like the overdrive on the autos, but instead of button operated its vacuum?

sounds like your tranny is sick

sounds like your tranny is sick

thats y they call it LIMP MODE!

if you want to be a smarty pants then autos have about 12 gears, they are madcore inside :shock:

1st 2nd 3rd o/d and limp, sounds like 5 speeds to me

gear ratio's yes. gears no, probably more than 9

hehe yeah gearbox's sure are complicated. i wouldnt even attempt to try and fix one, prob best left to a mechanic.

thats all i needed, none of the smartass comments

it looks like a screw in connection... is it? by that i mean u see how there is a nut looking thing right up close to the manifold? is that just a connection or is it actually part of the intake manifold mould?

thats all i needed, none of the smartass comments
I Sowwy :cry:
I have a wowwy pop for pou.

Nah seriously if i honestly knew what i was looking for, id look in my magna manual..... well no, i do know, i'm just lazy.

i think its a connector with a thread drilled and tapped into the manifold.
