Re: My Dodge Shadow ES (holy ---- huge images batman)
my '94 3.3 caravan died from the flexplate cracking around the hub, spinning, & throwing the balance way off & eventully snapping the crank snout off with the harmonic damper...after about 20K, & it actully still ran, but had no accesory drive
i wish i knew what the noise was earlier, cuz i had a spare good flexplate, but the crack was hidden behind the shim that all the bolts go thru, so i didn't see it during the trans swap
i beat the ---- out of that van, other then going thru transmissions (damn diff pin) that 3.3 kept begging for more, i did beat a T1 Omni 5-speed a few times up at the stoplight drags
had just over 203K on it before it went bye bye

yeah you can really mess thing things up with bad flex plates. If you look around, you could prolly find a 2.2L or 2.5L to drop in it
but today I got unlazy and went outside and installed the shifter, cables and wired up my new Alpine CD player

3.3 all the way, plus i still have all my speed goodies from it, such as like my ported & milled heads

Installed the shifter cables, pedals (brake and clutch) mmm what else... bought a CV boot for my equal length drive shaft and about to drop in the manual trans. Orderd a new set of bottom end bearings (crank and rods) and a head gasket and I ported the exhaust manifold and next thing on my list is the head and intake manifold
