    99 RT/10 power steering reservoir cap

    Dorman 82585 I would also suggest routing a hose from the cap vent to anywhere pointing down and away from the headers. https://www.viperclub.org/vca/threads/power-steering-cap-fix.678938/#post-3309767

    Gen 1 Differential Fluid Change

    I don't think Gen 2 has drain plugs from factory. That's what some threads seemed to indicate when I was searching for the thread size. It's weird, but I guess that's just what they did. For Gen 1, there's even part numbers. 4626712 = "Plug, Pipe". 4626713 = "Washer, Plug Seal".

    Gen 1 Differential Fluid Change

    Update: It is a 3/4-16 UNF plug, otherwise known as an 8AN ORB (o-ring boss) plug. I ordered an aluminum one and torqued it to 15ft/lbs. A 1 inch socket is required. Does anyone know what type of pipe plug this is? Mine is missing the o-ring and I deformed it a bit when removing it. The...

    Gen 1 Differential Fluid Change

    Does anyone know the drain plug socket size? A 1 inch box-end wrench feels a tad loose. I suspect it might be 25mm (1 inch = 25.4mm). Also, I second checking the fill plug first! I had to use a 3/8" hex socket on a breaker bar. Don't attempt to use any other socket that has even a little bit...

    QuickJack 7000TL

    For those wondering, the quickjack 7000TL works on a Gen 1 Viper. Notes: * Mine is stock ride height. * I did not have to drive onto boards. * Given the short distance between the front wheel and the front lift point, you need to place the quickjacks backwards so as you lift the car moves...

    Amsoil 75w90 good for late model Gen2 transmissions?

    I feel like I read every post today trying to decide on fluid for my 1993 t56. The service manual calls for dexron IIe. My understanding is that a non-synthetic dexron III is required because of the paper-lined blocker rings in early t56 units. So in the case of a T56, dexron VI isn't backwards...

    How to replace the Gen 1 Clutch Pedal Bushings

    8) Replace the two Pedal shaft bushings. Grease them up. 9) If you're using a replacement birdcage bushing, grease it up. Don't put it on the pedal arm!! The birdcage clip must first be inserted into the hole in the clutch rod BEFORE being attached to the pedal arm. If you try to put the...

    How to replace the Gen 1 Clutch Pedal Bushings

    The problem: My mechanic told me I needed a new clutch safety switch. I did not. The actual problem is the clutch pedal has some left-and-right wiggle. As you press on the clutch pedal, the pedal arm catches on a bracket. You think it's bottomed out, but it's not. Wiggle it to the right and you...

    Gen 1 Amplifier connectors

    I think these are them: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/165399088752 Our amps are similar to the Alpine 3540 Just as an FYI, I believe that both the left and right amps are slightly different in the Gen 1 viper. When I opened both of mine, there were subtle differences in the resistors and stuff...

    Can you Rehab a Gen3 speedo plastic lens with spots? help needed

    It should be possible. Platic polishing kits exist. There's an 80's retro arcade near me that uses Novus 3 stage polisher to fix their scratched acrylic pieces on their cabinets. They like it. You should be able to search amazon for "Novus 7136 Plastic Polish Kit". I haven't used this product...

    Easy way to replace clutch pedal bushing.

    It's time to replace my clutch pedal bushing and I was hoping to use the info on this thread to make it easier. Is there any way to access these images? They have urls like http://gallery.viperclub.org/data/500/medium/IMG_11441.JPG&hash=9976d03723f3e91a69dd3e67bda88742 Are they accessible from a...

    Gen 1: Dash cam wire routing?

    Does anyone have any clever ideas for routing a wire to the top of the dash for a dash cam? It looks very difficult to get access to the windshield header wire route area that the rearview mirror lamps use. I was thinking I could hide one of these usb-c pigtail sockets somewhere, but I'm open to...

    Wanted: Gen 1 Cassette Radio

    Tom's 40mm rear caliper upgrade

    Side note: It's a good time to replace brakes lines as well. Part numbers: StopTech 950.63504 - SS Brake Line Kit - Rear StopTech 950.63006 - SS Brake Line Kit - Front tdot.ca did try to cancel my order saying they were discontinued. I called Centic (parent company of StopTech) and they...

    Does anyone know how to reach AutoForm? I put a deposit down a year ago and I just want to the know the progress or an update. I've tried calling a few times, sent an email, and left a voicemail message. I completely understand that they would be delayed since, at one point, their voicemail...

    Remote clutch slave bleed

    Forgive my ignorance if Im missing something, but does the mityvac method not work on our T56's? It just seems easier than messing with a remote line. I've been tempted to install one, but I know I'll be kicking myself if I introduce a leak. https://youtu.be/1jhGAceCpx4?si=-nKtLYQqKikEW8VS

    Sometimes stalls when coming to a stop.

    I did manage to solve my problem. For synchronizing the throttle bodies, I did the usual routine then used my iPhone slow motion camera at 240 fps to capture both throttle plates opening while a friend slowly pressed the accelerator pedal. From reviewing the footage frame-by-frame they seemed...
