Galant GSR HH

[fatbear]

Hi everyone.
Im from sydney australia.

Just got a 1990 galant GSR HH
Hoping to get help to getting the car in good shape.

Car is ticking a lot and syncro in gearbox is bad, hard to get into second gear.

I want to get the ECS working. Will need help with that.

If anyone in sydney is affordable to do some jobs. give me a shout

Welcome mate!

That ECS will cost you an arm and a left nut to get working, but anything is possible with $$

Damn. I better sell my kidney and lung now.
I need to see what the issue. Its still got the connections and such

I just got one on the road recently- 200k kms with clutch change at 160k- mint condition inside and out for $510 on ebay. We pissed the ECS off and got some struts- scored some brand new rear Monroes (wouldn't recommend them usually) for $49 on ebay too. Needed new bushes and got it on the road and registered for around $1800.

I suggest trying some ProMa MBL8 additive along with some fresh oil to stop your lifters ticking.... also try using some genuine gearbox fluid to see if the crunching goes away. Even try a new slave cylinder which are cheap ($30) and easy to replace

Dre, did you get any bush part numbers?

Ive used thick oil and its still ticking so id say the lifters have failed.
Would you know how the ECS would work and what is needed to restore it? I think i need the pumps

The guy around the corner supplied and fitted the bushes for it

First you would need to find out what's actually wrong with it. There's so many things it could be- like Jayrome said, you will spend more than you spent on the car just to get the ECS working. You are better off ditching it for shocks and springs which handle better anyway.

Also, like I said- try the MBL8 and if it doesn't work then i'll eat my shoe
