Part 1: Aisin AR5 swap into an LS Thirdgen F-Body

An 11,000-mile Aisin AR5 transmission from a Chevy Colorado. A staple in the drifting world, let's see what it will do in a thirdgen F-Body behind an LS engine for autocrossing. Project Whack-A-Mole continues. I finally figured out the fuel pump issue. The old Delphi fuel pump, struggling to deliver fuel, was replaced with a new Deatschwerks fuel pump which seemed to cure things. So I took the Camaro out for a test hit. The car felt good driving it around some shifting through the four gears. Then I got on a more open road, mashed the throttle in second, shifted fast to third, but the car wouldn't accelerate under its own power in gear.

Last month with the same format, local events when it was 90+ degrees. Never. It started when trying to start the car for my second run in the first session on Friday. Turned the key, and nothing. I thought the connection had unbuckled itself from the starter solenoid like last month , but that wasn't the case. Aaron Shoe came over to help by checking the draw on the battery as I turned the ignition, and he said there was arcing coming from the cable that connects to the starter. Karen, ...
