    Transmission on Gen 2 Viper - Third Gear Grinding

    Hey all, thanks for all the replies. After calling around a couple shops, I was told about a Transmission shop in Vienna, Virginia called County Transmissions. The guy there was totally cool, and knew all about the T56 had worked on many Vipers, Vettes, Mustangs, etc that had them. He also...

    Transmission on Gen 2 Viper - Third Gear Grinding

    After calling several shops in the area, turns out almost everyone ships the transmissions out to AAMCO's around here. So I took the car to an AAMCO down the street to get a free 'diagnosis'. I'm pretty sure they went joy riding in the car and were not very professional, I got the car back...

    Transmission on Gen 2 Viper - Third Gear Grinding

    Hello, Last night I took my '98 out for the first time in 5 months. I noticed that every time I shifted into third gear it would want to grind, and it wasn't easy to get it into gear. Naturally I stopped shifting third gear and went straight from 2nd -> 4th the rest of the way home once I...

    replacement / repair valve covers

    Hi all, I have a '98 GTS. The paint on the valve covers is bubbling and peeling off. Is there a place that I can either send them to have them refurbished and repainted, or buy new valve covers? Its frustrating because it looks crappy when I pop the hood :( Ryan

    Chantilly, VA Dodge = BAD!!!!!!!

    There is a Dodge dealership in Springfield, VA. The Viper Tech there seems like a nice guy. I had taken my first Viper to him to have it checked out after I purchased it, and he went over everything and didn't charge me for most of it. However, they just recently changed ownership, they are now...

    Upgraded from 18 to 19" rear wheels - How do I recalibrate everything?

    Re: Upgraded from 18 to 19 I've been trying to find another Gen II viper that is using those rims. It is in my opinion the best looking rims for the gen II (the '99-'02 rims coming in second). Thanks for the photos! I know what my next purchase will be :) BTW, your speedometer will read...

    SRT Rims

    Anyone have a Gen II with the these SRT rims? I did a search and found only 1 photo where someone photoshop'd them onto a GenII but it wasnt a great photo. I'm debating between these and the '99-'02 rims. Also, since they are larger than my stock '98 rims, will I take any kind of performance...

    Gen II GTS gas cap removal help

    I just ordered a chrome Gen II GTS gas cap. I am trying to remove my current gas cap. The service manual simply says to remove the 4 bolts and then remove the gas cap. But after i got the bolts removed, I noticed the gas cap is attached to the drain that connects to the gas tank. On the backside...

    gas cap

    I'm sorry if this has been posted a bunch of times, I did a search and could not find my answer. I ran into another Gen II GTS owner the other day and he has a stock gas cap, but it was chrome, not the standard aluminum. I asked him where he got it and he said there was someone on this bored...

    A few questions

    I have a few questions related to my '98. One is that the gas cap has some corrosion on it, I've tried different metal cleaners but its not doing the job. Any recommendations? Or am I better off just buying a new one? Second question is can someone give me info on the spoiler and front bumper...

    Viper or Ferrari...Go easy please

    Well since I am a Viper owner, I am obviously biased. But I love my '98. Not only is it fast, but it turns heads like crazy. I can't go anywhere without people approaching me to want to talk about it. In my opinion, the Viper is a better looking car as well, but once again, I'm obviously biased.

    Heffner or Palo?

    Can someone provide links or more info to where these are avialable? I am just now in the market for TT kit, and DIY is exactly what I want. The timing on this could have not been better. Thank you.

    look at what I found behind the dash!

    Over the weekend I started hearing an annoying rattling noise coming from behind the dashboard. Today I decided to take the dash apart to find the culprit. I was guessing that maybe the air contioning duct came loose or something. Instead what I found was the NSync cd 'No Strings Attached'. I...

    I have Belanger headers and the header gaskets has broke causing the header to rattle. I have heard from members of this board that I should use the stock exhaust manifold gaskets, however the Viper technician tells me that I need to contact someone to find the proper gaskets for the headers...

    hello

    ab .. your car is gorgeous. I like the lowered look, and actually now kind of wish I still had the '98 rims because they look pretty mean on your car :) How much is your Viper lowered?

    CD-R for stock 01 Viper

    I have the same problem with Sony CD-R 700MB. It can take a long time for it to reconize the next or previous track if you try to skip ahead.

    The tapping noise was nothing to be worried about, the header gasket broke apparently and was rattling .. though I could have sworn on my life it was coming from one of the heads :) Anyone know where I can get new header gaskets? I have the Bellanger headers

    hello

    Back in the beggining of October I purchased a silver GTS. I just wanted to say hi to everyone. I traded up from a Lightning and haven't looked back since. I have to say this is the most beautiful car and one of the fastest things I've driven. So far all I have is Bellenger Headers, smooth...
