V6 Manual owners, need your help (Paul Beazer??)

[bradc]

I'm after a chassis number so I can get someone with caps to see if your gearset looks to be the same as a VR-4 because your final drive is 3.722 which would work great on our VR-4's

Thanks in advance!

[Gly]

you would need someone with a manual STR 4wd n/a,
the fwd box is designed differntly to a 4wd box,
i doupt it would fit or be worth the effort,
dont think the gears/shafts/bearings would be built strong enough

[bradc]

Yeah I figure that too, but I'm keen to have a look anyway.

Also can you email me your setup.env file from caps? Mine is empty, I guess thats why my caps has problems!

[Gly]

you have to set it up,
thats y its empty,

read the guide, its not hard to do.

[bradc]

done that, but in the setup screen all the values are empty and if I type anything it doesn't actually write anything in the screen

[Gly]

this is all thats in mine

System icle Information] Chassis No SPECIAL EQUIPED16 UUUYYS ETZEHDPF:\Caps\Newzeland-v3.13-18-05-2003-5CD\A\

[bradc]

formattings not right though, can you email me the file?

[zentac]

Im running one in the FTO and putting more power though it than all of the VR4's on here, they are strong enough.

[Gly]

need your email addy

Richard, just tried your one, it still does the exact same thing

[zentac]

ah which version are you running ?

[bradc]

Same version as Carsten: Newzeland-v3.13-18-05-2003

[zentac]

if you can install it into D:\CAPS\Newzeland-v3.13-18-05-2003 then it should work with the setup.env file that was in the archive I created and you downloaded.

[bradc]

ok finally got it working on D:\ Funny cause when I move it to C and change the setup.env file it still doesn't work at all.

[Paul Beazer]

Hi Brad
Stil need the info?
My chassis no is JMALNEA5WZ000185A
If its any help the gear ratios taken from the Owners manual are:-

1st 3.583
2nd 1.947
3rd 1.379
4th 1.030
5th 0.767
Rev 3.3363
no final drive ratio listed tho, sorry.

[bradc]

That will be the vin number, your chassis number should be EA5W-0something

Thanks for the gear ratios though, that matches up with another pdf I have, your final drive is 3.722

[Paul Beazer]

I'll go have a looksee, back in 5.

[Paul Beazer]

Nope all i can see is the VIN no. Where can i find the chassis no.?

[Nick Mann]

The chassis number is in there Brad! EC5W 000185A Maybe without the A?

[bradc]

EA5W ;) fwd ;)

I spotted that, but the Z and the A confuse caps.

Paul, it should be 'scratched' into the firewall

[Paul Beazer]

Paul, it should be 'scratched' into the firewall
If its above the the master cylinder towards the middle of the car, then thats the same as i have for the VIN no.
Dont confuse me, its not good!

[bradc]

hehe ok, I'll try a couple of variations on the theme tonight. Maybe it's because your car is a UK facelift that my NZ version is having problems

[g6acb]

I would of thought that you will need the euro version of caps to drag any info out about Mr B's gearbox, I have a euro version but I think Paul's car is to new for it :inquisiti - but you can drill down through the model codes to get the info - what exactly were you looking for??

[bradc]

g6, trying to find out what the final drive gear and output shaft look like.

[zentac]

CAPS isnt very good for pictorial representations, but the output shaft from the V6 has 18 teeth, the FTO has 16 or 17. the VR4 has 18 the CP9A Lancer has 16 or 17.... good hunting ;)

[Paul Beazer]

Do you want the part code for the gearbox? I should have the invoice from 2 years ago for it somewhere.

[bradc]

Richard, do you know of any that have 19 teeth? I'm thinking maybe GTO or something like that
