Petros, the problem is that this transmission didn't grind or balk with the old, smelly, black water that was in it when I originally drained the fluid. All I could find at the auto parts store was some weight that was waaay off (I'm sure you can find my post).

This is pretty much the only fluid ...

I bought a jug of it, but have yet to dump it into the trans. I will report back once I do.

Would you be willing to ship those up to Seattle? 98033 zip for quoting purposes.

OK, I've got a replacement switch now and will be attempting the replacement this evening. Wish me luck!

Yes, it's much safer to crash in an old shoe box made of cardboard and tinfoil than a modern car. :lol: :roll:

Newer cars are safer, you just can't get around that. Let's compare!

So it WAS too good to be true...

- was this one of the EMPI axles you'd installed some years ago?

Unless I'm mistaken, RockAuto doesn't carry EMPI axles anymore.

I think I also have an axle failing in a similar fashion. Minor vibration ...

What are you looking to get for it? I live near Seattle, so somewhat local and could meet up.

Still have the inclinometer and hood?

They def. are different (at least on the Fed emissions- I see you have the Calif. emissions.) One has a green electrical plug, the other a black one. Which do you need? I've got 'em both.


That photo was stolen from google as an illustration. I need the green plugged switch, PLEASE!!! :D Shoot ...

What's it look like? If it's for some emissions stuff, I think I have most of that stuff in a box somewhere .


There's two vacuum switches that mount on the passenger's side strut tower, next to the washer fluid/coolant overflow tanks. A single wire out the top of each with a single vacuum port ...

I made the trek to the only local yard that had a Tercel within 100 miles and, low and behold, the engine bay had been nearly stripped bare. Anyone have spare vacuum switches? PLEASE?!?
