Hopefully this video will give some idea of what is involved in a timing belt change. This will take most DIY people about a day to complete. No special tools required apart from a socket set and a 14mm ring spanner. I admit the video is a bit choppy, there were a few issues with my editing skills and editing laptop.

Is this the same and the Evo 7 GTA?
Working on a Eclipse GT with same transmission. Thank you for the in depth explanation.
Hey mate I enjoyed your video. I was just curious did you use a torque wrench. Or did you wait for your elbow to go click. And you're gonna have to give me a tutorial on how to hold my tongue. LOL.
In the perfect world the piston moves how do you get back in if it doesn't
Hey gavsShed I have a question about the light my plugs are different to ones your car has I have a 97 te magna is there away can send u photo of what mine look like I'm trying put same headlights in will they still work with different plugs when I earth it
Thanks for making this video. Very much appreciated! 👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing this video. It is a great help.
Hey mate what measurements were the press cups you made to push the bushing out/in and to support the control arm?
What a shithouse video for explaining how to do it
great info
What about the balljoint? Is it able to replace?
Hay mate, could you explain to my why this works? I’m just confused why this works because your modifying the the bottom of the plug which is the high beams and not modifying the low beam and just grounding out the highbeam
Awesome step by step video!! Thanks mate this has eased my anxiety to cracking this open. I can do engines and manual boxes but not autos. Thanks again.
This can be done while on the car just have to remove the plastic shrouds to gain better access to the bolts lol all in all worst gearbox worldwide 😂
My 01 v6 Magna auto was running perfectly and just decided to stop driving can't select any gears? Funny tho, 5 days ago I went to drive out of the driveway and nothing... jiggled all the plugs from auto and cleaned them & it worked fine for 5 days now nothing? Great gearbox with no flare up during shifting. This manual conversion looks awesome. If it's not a solidod or control unit in my auto i may do this? Are cv's different?
Sounds like the wave spring issue with your transmission. It would be very likely if you drained the fluid you would have short lengths, 15mm long, of wave spring. I bought an 02 model cheap once because the previous owner stopped at a roundabout, and when he went to go again he had no gears. The CV shaft on one side is shorter than the other by a few mm. I think it is the passenger side. I used both shafts from the passenger side.
Thanks for the reply Gav! Today I got car on stands and wheels off and inner left guard panels off to see any wires I've missed which I haven't. I was revving engine on the stands and now I'm hearing something very small rattling about only when I rev the engine. So tomorrow I'll get the car level & drain fluid. I have had 6 Magnas and not 1 has left me on roadside until now. I still love Magnas
These are 'big breathing' engines.. the intake plenum tubes and the lower intake port tubes are MASSIVE for an engine of this capacity, owing to it's direct engine base lineage from the mighty twin turbo GTO 3000 6G72DETT. When Mitsubishi brought out the bigger 380 (3,828cc) the intake ports are substantially SMALLER on this later engine. Smaller diameter runners equals peak torque at lower rpm and a reduced capacity to produce higher power at around 6,000rpm. So, the Magna 3.5 is a VERY tunable engine and can put out a LOT of usable power with just a few simple enough tweaks. The 380 3.8 not so much.
Yes, from what I hear,the 3.8 has more lower torque rather than rev. The 3.5 will rev more freely. I ported the heads in the 2002 manual I had. It was a fun engine.
Hi Gav can you do a video on automatic transmission service
Sorry, I don’t have one of these anymore. I did a fluid change once and that’s all. You can only change the filter if the transmission is removed.
you're a legend mate, thanks for uploading both videos!
No need to replace the entire arm??
No need if the rest of the remaining bush and ball joint are ok. I ended up replacing the entire arms around 90,000km later though.
Great tutorial Gav. Im glad you've helped the world with this wonderful car. I learned alot after watching it as I tried all this. Beautiful!!! Is it necessary, however that sealant and spare manifold gaskets to be changed and used!!!
Also MUST make sure anyone who watches this that the SPARK PLUG LEADS GO BACK IN THE RIGHT ORDER THAT THEY WERE FOUND IN!!! Failure to do so will result in misfires and starting issues. This is called THE FIRING ORDER. Hope I was helpful to anyone taking up this wonderful dirty hands hobby 😊👍
Exactly
Outstanding man, awesome stuff! About to rip out my 6G74 out of the TJ sports and rebuild it just for the fun of it
Well done, well done. Topics covered in this presentation, including enging components and comments regarding,Timing Belt removal and installation are. most welcoming engineered video. Frank 😅😊😅
Great videos! I’m going to be doing this on my Airtrek with it in the car and will be using these videos along with a manual a lot
So it didn't work. Don't know what I did wrong I have reverse now but I don't have forward I used my shop computer and all of the solenoids are activating everything looks like it's working but there's no forward I will say that the brake plate I had to push it down to get the the lock ring in but other than that...did it all. New pump. New seals. New cv joint. Dunno what I did but theres a week ill never get back. Lol. Gotta pull it back out n try again. Maybe need new clutches? Anyone that helps and their suggestion fixes it....Ill cash app you a hundred bucks. 150.00 if I dont have to take it back out. Smfh. Trans is not throwing any codes.
So Im finishing my sebring trans now. If this works .....youll be on my xmas card for LIFE. lol.
Excelente,explicacion,bendiciones
Its so obnoxious Mitsubishi side mounted the engines in the Magnas! Turns a timing belt replacement into a nightmare!
One tip: when removing the stud nuts on the plenum chamber, be especially careful not to drop them. I dropped the passenger-side one, and it fell into an almost inaccessible spot between the two tappet covers. After half-an-hour of searching for it, I was lucky to locate it by feel with a telescopic magnetic pick-up. Otherwise, this was an easy job. Don't follow the Gregory's workshop manual which says that you have to dump the coolant in order to remove the plenum chamber.
Must I add that anyone who attempts this MUST take their time doing so for your own safety and the cars safety too!!! Nothing worse than anything metal going down in the cylinders and...BANG!!! Goodbye engine
Appreciate that 'tip'. Thanks for sharing; I'm up next!
@michaelc.b.ashley16: Appreciate that tip. I'm up next! 🥵
Hello, just a quick question about the sump plug. Does it have a washer or not? I wanna service my magna 2003.
My name is John clark and I have 1998 magna station wagon that has done over 416905 KL and is still running great
Hi Gav, great video thanks. I've just finished doing the timing belt, pulleys, hydraulic tensioner and water pump on my 2003 Magna TL. The car has only 84k on the clock, but the manual says to replace the belt every 100k or 5 years, so I figured I should do it after 20 years! As it was, the old timing belt looked as good as new. The job took 1.5 days on the weekend, taking it slow. A long 17mm socket is almost a necessity for removing two nuts on the engine mount. A rattle gun made short work of the crankshaft bolt. Fortunately the crankshaft pulley just slipped off. Just for interest the belt has 195 teeth on an 8mm pitch, and there are 63 teeth from one camshaft to the other, and 66 teeth from each camshaft to the right edge of the keyway slot when at TDC. I would recommend marking the positions of the camshafts and crankshaft on the old belt before removal (a dot of nail polish works well). You can transfer these marks to the new belt, and it speeds installation. Also, I made the special tool for setting the tension pulley rotation - this is worth doing since it allows you to set the belt tension perfectly so that the hydraulic tensioner moves out by the right amount. If you have the belt too lose, the tensioner will come out too far - possibly leading to a loose belt down the track - and it will be difficult to push back. For reference, the locating holes in the tensioner pulley are 3.35mm in diameter and 14.00mm apart and 9.32mm from the centre; you apply the torque 18mm from the centre; a 3kg spring balance and a spanner will make a suitable torque wrench. Perhaps this is overkill, but it made the tension adjustment very quick and accurate. Rather than making the tool, you can buy it, or you might be able to make do with a pair of circlip pliers.
You explained it well and very good visual, thank you
thanks man once again
Hi Gavshed i watched your video and started to replace the oil on my 2001 kj verada. When I took the drain plug out there was no washer , Are these cars meant to have a washer or not ? There was no oil leak prior to taking the sump plug out
Yeah they had a copper washer. Easy enough to get from a parts shop. You could put it back in without it, but keep an eye on it for leaks and make sure it stays tight enough.
@@gavsshed_7393 much appreciated 🙏😊
Great! Thanks for posting, just what I needed.
No problem.
I'm just doing this again and I'm F#@ed how to get the engine mount bracket back in with all the long bolts
@@gavsshed_7393 cheers thanks so much for that, I couldn't remember how I got it to fit, I must be getting old and forgetful
Hi Gav I have a TW AWD with a dead auto transmission. I am planning a 6G75 upgrade as well. Thanks from the video on the engine removal through the bottom
Hello again Gav. We spoke a few weeks ago about the issue I was having with the door lock on my Magna. Well I finally got the door open today, and the problem is the latch mechanism itself. Everything seems to be working but it's just not locking. So I need a new door latch. Two or four actually. Do you have any idea where I can source these? Cheers mate.
I used to have a bunch of those laying around. Best place these days would’ve to check the wreckers.
Same issue happens in the Evo 7’s, I’m watching this because I take my Evo to the track and hear many people warn me about the wave spring so I want to see what the function is and where it sits in the transmission in case something happens to mine
Can anyone tell me we’re about the filter is?
Hi Luke, the filter is inside the transmission. To change the filter you actually need to remove the trans from the vehicle and remove the bell housing. Apparently it only needs replacement when the trans is re-built.
Best way to re - assembly - reinstall valve body. 6-8 bar pressure apply at 2nd brake piston ( showing at end ) can leak through this feeder guide. Then install new one feeder seal second brake.
Sounds like you know your stuff.
Is this the same trans found in the Legnum VR4? I'm in the US and not many people are familiar with my Legnum VR4
Why are the guards and front clip etc been taken off?
I watched a lot of pieces come out the drain plug on the box in a interior donor car I had a while ago, nice and detailed video
Yep, not a good sign hey. It's amazing how long they can drive for before one of these pieces get jammed somewhere causing a failure.
You still can use the same computer? Just need to bypass the neutral switch? I have a mitsubishi diamante 2002 and it seems to be the exact same engine as this magna.
Yes, same computer. just those bypasses, mine was great and a much livelier car. Much more fun to drive. The Diamente is the same car with export trim details.

My tj has 266k on the clock, any ideas as to why it is missing when at idle. Just changed the spark plugs and gaskets associated. It runs and has great performance and normal and high speeds but come idle it misses not all the time when at idle. Fuel system is spotless use 98 octane bought it 2003 single owner. Can you assist.
