n00b questions: clutch slip, rear axle twirl, replacement wedge bulbs, etc

[ctkf9884]

Hi y'all... I'm new to this forum and a proud owner of a recently bought '91 turbo and I have the following questions, please answer whenever you have time!

1) I floored it at about 4,700 rpm at 4th gear going 70 and the rpm kept climbing while the speed kept at the same level so I'm pretty sure it's slipping. The thing is, this was put in brand new just a month ago. Could it be the clutch was installed improperly? If so, how? Could it be flywheel?

2) My rear axle/wheels tend to wobble/wiggle from left to right, right to left, left to right when i make turns if I haul a little on the freeway... could it be the fact that my tires have bad threat? The thing is my local shop that I went to dropped the axle while they were putting in a working 3SGTE so they took it to some other shop to put it together. So, could it be that the rear axle has missing parts???

3) my stock dash gauges and center console have dim-ish stock green lights... I was wondering if I replace the stock wedge bulbs with PIAA blue lights, would it come out as blue? Or is there a lense filter that changes the color to green when it's stock? The reason I ask is because I got a blue sleeved replacement bulb at Toyota and it's supposed to be blue but it's still green.

Thanks for staying with me for this long post... any help is appreciated!

1.)Clutch is definately slipping. Did the flywheel and/or pressure plate need turning ?it needs to be pulled apart and checked out...
2.) Sounds like maybe something was not put back on porperly.Have you checked rear alignment? If you're not familiar with suspensions, then have a professionalk look at it. Sounds danergous...
3.) I've had my dash apart before, i don't recall the bulbs being colored...I can't really answer this one.

1. Either was installed incorrectly or your leaking oil out of your rear mail seal onto your clutch disc causing it to slip.
2. From the sound of the clutch install it also sounds like the axle wasn't locked into the trans properly or the outside bearing retaining nut wasn't torque properly or enough
3. no idea either

Sounds like the shop that installed the engine messed things up. They should fix it for you.
