New Member, Couple Questions, Rev limiter, axle noise Options

[DJWashington]

Hello everyone, my name is dj. Im from Johnson City Tennessee, 17. I bought a 94 Gt about a month ago. 5 speed, blue, white racing stripe, intake, cd player, bassiclly stock. Well the car only had 107k when i picked it up, now having about 111k. The motor had just been rebuilt about a thosand miles before i got it. Well apparentlly in the rebuild process, which im guessing was done by toyota (because of remanufactuerd plauqe) they had a rev limiter installed to make sure break-in was comepleted, or to prolong life of the motor. Regardless now its broke in and i want it off. It sucks having to shift at 4k rpms, yup thats right, it cuts out at about 4,200 rpms. I dont think it is fuel related b/c the motor doesnt cut out at all, it bounces slowlly out of gear, in gear it sounds wierd, like it just bogs down, sometimes backfires. I dont know how to take it off because i dont know where its at or what it would involve. And no I cant just reset my ecu, ive tried. If anybody could give me some answers on that, that would be really cool. Also, there is a loud whineing noise when goin down tha road. Almost like I have huge nobby tires. The axle will pop sometimes when i turn but then go away for a while, idk if it has anything to do with that or not. I was lookin at the axle and there was a big washer lookin thing sliding around back and forth on my axle, i also saw alot of grease around the axle. Is that axle grease, and would that explain why it pops sometimes? If so, how would I fix that? Could i just put more grease in the axle?? I really appreciate any help u guys can give me. Thanks alot

if your cv boots are fine then I hate to say that it's probably your wheel bearing. I had to change mine on my 90 celi it wasn't too bad but i had access to a bearing press which helped out immensely. I have no idea how much it would cost for a shop to replace one considering you have to take the whole wheel hub off to replace it. Good luck.
