Does anyone know where I can get a top-quality PCM for the 5-speed manual transmission? The auto-transmission PCM is okay but the other gives 500 more rpm and supposedly idles better on cold...

Well, I got my car running. Have not driven it anywhere yet, but it seems to be very much okay. Bottom line, I replaced the second-hand PCM, the computer for manual transmissions, with the original...
elmor353, you have my sympathies. I have an alternate car which is 45 years old and has no computers: 74 LandCruiser that I bought new. If I could entirely eliminate the computers and gadgets in my...
Thanks a bunch. I too suspect the ASD. It's original, i.e. 27 years old. I still have the original PCM from the auto transmission and plan to try substituting it in a day or so when we get some...
Hi, forum. I have a similar problem: 1993 Chrysler LeBaron AA body, 3.0L V6, new manual 5-speed transmission installed 2.5 years ago. Driving along at 55 mph when suddenly the engine quit. There was...
Here's a trick to help you replace the top plate, to make sure the three lugs stay lined up when you have no room to easily maneuver, i.e., when the transmission is still in the car. Wipe the...
Correction of a possible misunderstanding. By "top cap" I meant the plate affixed with six bolts, not the vent. Oil is seeping out of the interface there, not the vent cap, and I'll have to remove...
Got new seal on crossover shaft. Still a bit of seepage under top cap. Off it comes. Fun in the cold.

NOTHING WORKS HERE. What gives??
Hey, 135sohc!! Just the guy I was hoping for. I saw your search back in 2011 and if anyone knew where to get these, it'd be you.
Did you have pooling of oil in the top cavity of the gearbox? Did...
Hi, guys,
I need a crossover shaft oil seal, part no. 4446285. Dimensions 7/8" OD, 1/2" ID, and 1/4" thick.
My 5-speed manual transmission is leaking BADLY, oil pooling into the cavity on top,...
Miles, if you mean the shop service manuals, I have them. I just installed a 5-speed manual into my LeBaron LE and the job is impossible without the full service manuals, mechanical, electric wiring,...
Chromguy, et al, Please note that fuses may LOOK good but are NOT when checked for continuity.
Problem solved. Sorry to take up bandwidth.

AA body, LeBaron LE. Installing LED into glove box required reversing the leads. This caused a short when I reinstalled the socket and now the dome & map lights don't work, nor does the radio. All...
Barry, thanks. Well, glad I'm not the only one who's discovered the clutch can go too far..
Joe, as you may know I have two A543 five-speed transmissions. The first was full of problems...
PROBLEM SOLVED!
Clutch fully functional.
It was in fact overpushing the clutch-spring fingers and binding the disk.

Well, now, 83scamp hit the nail on the head. Stupid me didn't test the clutch lever for position before hooking up the cable, and at first hookup the clutch was in fact released. Pushing on it...
After grinding away on this in my head for over a day I think you're right. I'll check it today. It's the only thing that makes any sense.
Rob (Shadow), I'm sure I didn't get the throwout fork in...
Gentlemen.
Here's the data.
New Luk flywheel
New Luk clutch kit with new throwout bearing.
New clutch cable with 4377825 Isolator
Trans is A543 into V-6
This is a swapout...
Johny,
Thanks for your comments, but I have to take issue with 'em. Elementary physics tells us as a mass rotates or tries to rotate about an axis (the axles) there will be motion both upward...
Joe, thanks for the comments. I finally found this on page two, hence the delay in my response. I gave this problem lots of thought over the six months it's taken me to change from automatic to...
Marty, I'll take one. Will contact you via private message. Thanks.

Thanks, cordes.
