Guibo question
Here's my situation: My guibo is shot. It's the 3rd one in 4 months. I installed UUC solid tranny bushings. Normally these wouldn't be a problem, but before I got the car there was bad frame damage. The combination of the frame damage and the solid bushings kills guibo's. I'm getting rid of the car in a few months and getting a '95 35is. I'm gonna strip this one and put some parts on the new one and save some. I don't want to buy a new guibo or stock tranny bushings. I don't want to put ANY money into the car. I thought of a quick fix. I'm going to cut 2 circles out of a piece of 16 gauge steel and drill 6 holes in them. I'm going to put one circle on each side of the guibo. WHat does everyone think of this idea as a TEMPORARY fix??????

it should work but will be incredibly harsh, the guibo is made of rubber to lessen nvh.

Well, it'll destroy the next flexible things in the line, engine mounts, diff mount, shift linkage blocks. And it'll rattle the teeth out of your skull in the process most likely (not to mention a twitchy hard the grab shifter). If you just want to see though, what the hell, tell us what happens.
