Roll Call 4WD Proteges!!!

[jay]

It's been a mixed bag, man. First one, the centerdiff let go. But it let go silently. No noise, haven't taken it apart yet. Second one, it ate the driverside halfshaft bearing. I suspect prior damage. No one breaks those. I stripped the teeth off 2nd on an earlier one in my bpt gtx. Case explosions and other such nightmares I have yet to experience firsthand.

well, I guess I'm wondering how it fails. Do the gears strip(third would be my guess), or are the gears walking up on eachother and cracking the case? I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to boost it at all. Maybe just get another BP and do some bolt ons?

don't launch, run 80/90 weight or better stuff in the tranz,diff and rear.
and i think you will be fine, iv been running my awd pro with a boosted bp
.42/.48 t3 at 9 to 10 psi for about 2 months with no issues yet, exept fuel cut (GTX ECU)

mines a blue 1990 protege sohc manual tranny...in idaho

so how many 4wd's have we got in here now?

[CODY004WD]

I just purchased a maroon 5-speed 4wd a few weeks ago!

It runs and drives great, has a brand new clutch, but it's in need of some minor body work, mostly a few small dents and a new paint job, and some new bushings and struts/ springs.

Here is the funny part, it has ~360k miles and is mostly rust free. some undercariage surface rust, but nothing major.

Oh and I spent $200 on it.

[nerd racing]

nice find, I'll give you $250 for it!

360,000 miles damn, thats the highest ive seen a 4wd pro

[CODY004WD]

Haha, not for sale. I love this thing, and I believe at 360k it's just barely broken-in. plus I am 36% of the way to 1 million miles! What kind of gas mileage are these things supposed to get stock btw?

I guess I should post on here since I've owned my share of these gems. I currently have a well used 90 5 speed. Prior to that I had an insanely clean (rust wise) grey 90 5 speed that I put on it's roof. Ended up selling it to superdave up in canada who's restoring it and doing a hell of a job.

I have a 1990 4wd for about 3 years now.

Got a '92 GTR, and LOVING it! Running 22-25Psi on a stock tranny, and it's holding up so far. Running redline oil in the box and transfer.
