I had one of those inuitive mornings where you fix things in your mind as
you are slowly waking to concsiousness. I remembered that the 5spd cars
have the dashpot to aid in engine rpm control during shifts.
Is there any difference other difference between the 3.6 and 4.2 cars?
Venturi diameter, etc?
Also, I seem to recall that someone has used a non 5spd TB on a 5spd car
and reported no real difference or trouble shifting. Was that you Steve
Buchholz?
I've been paging through etka and realizing/remember just how simple these
are when compared to a turbo 5. There's like five vacuum lines and 3
breather hoses. That's it. Any other vacuum leak would have to come from
something more troublesome like a bad seal on one of the parts of the
intake manifold or throttle body.
Still trying to find some info about adjusting the dashpot.
