I knew I had something to add to my previous post... :) Due to bent shift forks, etc. the car will sometimes get shifted into two gears at once and not want to roll forward. That was what happened when the tech put it on the dyno yesterday - he did it again today, but I stuck around during the smog ...

That was actually (sort of) the tech's initial solution - call the smog referee for our area to see what options I have to have the car tested. As you may recall from a previous thread, I want it to fail the test so I can sell it back to the state, which will partially reimburse me for the money I'e...

Driveshaft removal...
Any hints / tricks on removing the rear driveshaft, and still keep the car driveable? Why? According to the smog test shop that I took it to today, the car is stuck in 4wd. Therefore, it can't be tested at this point - not good for me. Alternate question - any quick way (and cleaner) way to make sur...

Thanks, all, for your input and advice. Other symptoms that make me think it's the transmission and not something else (though I'm open to ideas from the more knowledgable people out there): 1. After a little experimentation, I can actually engage 5th gear at highway speeds. As long as I stay on the...

I've thought about putting another transmission in the car, but don't have the resources to do so (either time, money, or a engine lift to get everything out of the car!). I think my plan is to nurse it along to the end of the year. The car has a number of rust problem areas, including the roof, rea...

Transmission problems - pops out of overdrive
Hello everyone, Been a while since I've been on - hope everyone's doing well. I'll cut to the chase. My '84 with 251,500 miles on it had a junkyard tranny installed by the previous owner. (Probably around 20,000 miles ago or so.) I'm crusing down the freeway on Friday, 5th gear, going about 65 - 70,...

Interior door trim panel removal procedure ... ?
Howdy gang, Well, the odometer turned past 250,000 miles a couple of weeks ago, and my '84 is still going strong. Sure, it leaks / burns a little oil, and they synchros in the tranny are a little grumpy, but it also still scoots down the freeway at 80 miles per hour when needed so I can't complain! ...
