    Removing the transmission...

    8 bolts total. One is hard to see on top. Your drawing isn't showing the two obvious ones on the bottom.

    Do I Need New Fasteners for Flywheel?

    I got it from good authority, the Wizard himself, that reusing the FW bolts are OK. Just be sure to use threadlock. Thanks Chuck! Thanks for the rear seal and gasket as well! Just waiting on the Ebay clutch kit.

    Do I need to Drop the Oil Pan to Remove the Rear Seal?

    Thanks Chuck! I'll do just that. If I decide to tear in to this thing, I'll hook up with you for the parts. I already have one of those Luk clutch kits off of Ebay coming since I plan on changing out the clutch in the process. Those seem to be the cat's meow here on the forum. I guess I...

    Do I need to Drop the Oil Pan to Remove the Rear Seal?

    Even though it doesn't mention it in the manual, do I have to drop the oil pan to remove the crank shaft rear oil seal? I know I have to drop the tranny, and remove the clutch and flywheel. I've had the oil pan off a couple of times but never paid attention to what the rear pan bolts went up in...

    Do I Need New Fasteners for Flywheel?

    Thanks Frog. A couple more things. Do I need to support the rear of the engine during the tranny removal as depicted in the service manual? Also, I hear that sometimes an oil leak may occur out of one of two oil plugs in the back of the motor. When I pull everything, I want to be prepared to fix...

    Do I Need New Fasteners for Flywheel?

    Getting ready to fix a nagging oil leak I've had for some time now. Narrowed it down to the rear seal. I'll have to drop the tranny and pull the clutch and flywheel. I plan on replacing the clutch since I'll already be there with one of those Luk OEM setups off Ebay. It looks like the thing...

    Holds me tight!

    Mine does the same. I think the pendulum/lock mechanism is suppose to work the other way around though as opposed to what was mentioned above. The pendulum is designed to lock the belt in place when there is a sudden stop or deceleration. To get mine to release, I have to romp on it a little...

    Gaging Interest in my Beloved SC'd '98 RT/10

    If that would be the case, I'll keep it. I paid 42K 3 1/2 years ago and sunk another 15K in it with the SC, wheels, tires, three piece top, etc. I realize the economy sucks and typically you don't recoup anywhere near what you put in it with the add-ons. That's the reason I figured on taking a...

    When closing the hood ...

    When I first got my Vip, I closed the hood at position 2 and always had an issue with the hood latching cockeyed, sometimes with only one side latching and the other not. In fact, there were a couple of times I played hell trying to get the hood popped back open because it was closed at an angle...

    Gaging Interest in my Beloved SC'd '98 RT/10

    I'm looking at possibly another Viper soon and just want to know what I could expect to get out of my current baby. 1998 RT/10, 19,500 miles, Roe Supercharger, 6.5 lb. pulley, Vec III. No other engine work. CCW 505 wheels with 275/30/19 on the front and 355/25/19 on the back. Pirelli P zero's...

    Wet Sanding my '98 RT/10 Trunk

    "I will say, as I'm sanding, the thought does cross my mind that I'm actually sanding the paint on my Viper.....ugh, what if it doesn't work....but, to my relief, it did!" If the water in your water bucket starts turning red.....STOP!!!:omg: Honestly, its looking good!:2tu:

    Wet Sanding my '98 RT/10 Trunk

    I believe what you're seeing may not necessarily be an indication of a repaint gone bad on your trunk. I have a '98 RT and was convinced after I got it, that it had been repainted by a 10 year old. OK, that wasn't fair. I actually know a 10 year old that could have done better. Anyways, I had...

    High speed fan issue.

    Bumblebee, You might try this troubleshooting routine from a previous post of mine: Fan relays check out fine. I manually shorted them out through the pin connector off of the pcm. I found this to be the best way as you are checking the wiring all the way from the pcm, through the relays and...

    Temperature Mark on Gage?

    What is the approximate coolant temperature at the first large hash mark left of the 250 red zone on the gen II temp gage? I'm guessing 220?

    Yet Another Engine Cooling Question!!

    I've actually contemplated shorting out the HI/LO fan relay so that when the pcm calls for the fan to come on, it does so in HI mode instead of low right off the bat. And yes. Its possible the thermostat is a 180 instead of 160. It was over two years ago when I installed the Roe supercharger...

    Timing Chain Cover Gasket Recommendation

    I was one of the lucky ones as well. External oil leak only. Replaced it. :2tu:

    Yet Another Engine Cooling Question!!

    The overflow bottle is in your front right fender well in front of the wheel. There is a slit that allows you to see where the coolant level is within the overflow bottle. I usually take a strong light, pop the rubber stopper off the fender skirt and shine the light down on top of that bottle...

    Yet Another Engine Cooling Question!!

    I was wondering about that. Mine seems to fit fairly tight but who knows. I'll throw a clamp around it.

    Yet Another Engine Cooling Question!!

    Fan relays check out fine. I manually shorted them out through the pin connector off of the pcm. I found this to be the best way as you are checking the wiring all the way from the pcm, through the relays and to the fan. Pin 2 goes to one side of the coil on the ON relay and pin 21 is for the...

    Yet Another Engine Cooling Question!!

    OK. First, let me start by saying I have searched the forum over on cooling issues of the Viper. But I have yet to find any clues that explains my cooling issues. I have a 1998 Roe SC'ed RT/10. 19,000 miles. Up until now, never had any cooling issues. Running a 160 degree thermostat, as...

    Heat/Overheat Problem

    You know, I see a lot of postings comparing run temps between various cars and setups. I can only assume that most temps being compared are based on what the temp gauge shows. Two things: 1. Just how accurate are the Viper temp gauges and/or temp sensors from one viper to another? 2. How...
