Re: Complete listing of 4 bolt x 100mm rims

83-96' Tercels come stock with 155/80r13's or there abouts, so I'm in luck there as well. Narrow is good for traction in snow.

Re: Complete listing of 4 bolt x 100mm rims

Thanks, found it. Looks like they'll fit and save me mounting and balancing. I wonder what the stock tire size should be for the Tercel. The tires off the Honda are 155/80r13. These are indeed very narrow.

Re: New Member. A tranny for my new Turdcel?

It's good to get a confirming opinion. I'll make a blend using the Royal Purple that comes outta the trans.

Now that I read a few posts, it is likely that the center holes in the Honda Civic rims are too small....

Re: Complete listing of 4 bolt x 100mm rims

Hello,
I just got a set off rims and new studded tires off a 1986 Honda Civic,155/80r13's. Civc's are not listed. Offset appears to be similar to a Tercel. Are these tires too small and should the rims bolt on?

Re: New Member. A tranny for my new Turdcel?

Might just hafta try that. Anything one can do to extend the life of the trans. I hope to have this little gem for many years. Breezed thorough the on-line manual after I downloaded it. The book calls for GL-4 or GL-5, and the diff must have a hypoid oil of course. If I can go as high as 50/50, I pe...

Re: New Member. A tranny for my new Turdcel?

Heck, I think I might strap a 20 gallon metal water tank on the rack, so that water can be brought to the motorhome and gravity fed into the coach's water tank.

Re: New Member. A tranny for my new Turdcel?

Hi Dreg Will hafta see if I'm gonna like this life. I've been a homebody for years now, but I've got to give it a try. I'm gonna be on a tight budget. The reason I need 4WD is cause I'll be in Montana for part of the winter, and perhaps indefinitely at some point. Might find a place to settle down a...

Re: New Member. A tranny for my new Turdcel?

Thee discussion on synthetics in terc's was interesting. Mixed bag results. The transmissions on these are precious, so I'll be prudent and perhaps try what is already in there for period and then dump it to see what comes out and go from there. Going with a 4 to 1 blend, only 25% synthetic , a reco...

Re: New Member. A tranny for my new Turdcel?

Hello xirdneh (Mr. Walker), Thank you for those videos. It's not easy to find good instructors that can pass along the inside game and specialized tools (improvised implements). After reading your description of the usual symptoms, it certainly does look like it is a wheel bearing. I will go to the ...

Re: New Member. A tranny for my new Turdcel?

It makes sense that it is more likely a wheel bearing. And now I know to check. The synthetic gear oil has less than 2,000mi on it. Just to be safe I'll put the correct GL-5 hypoid oil back in. I once had a Toyota 4WD pickup that I put Royal Purple in the trans and it did a bit of damage. I knew it ...

Re: New Member. A tranny for my new Turdcel?

I was told that is was a rear wheel bearing noise, yet I hear it up from and on the left side. It was consistent, and did not change when the trans was in a different gear, but only when there was a change in road speed. I was told on the phone that it had bad rear wheel bearings, yet what I heard w...
