Re: 1985 SR5 T4WD, Rhode Island

I'm sorry to say that I'm offering this Tercel 4wd for sale. I had given it to my neighbor's daughter, but she never registered or even drove the car. After installation of a new battery, she's given "Spud" back to me. I've no real use for the car and prefer to pass it along for less than ...

Re: 1985 SR5 T4WD, Rhode Island

No more work for me on this one, it now belongs to my friend's daughter. Rides well, starts every time, shifts smooth.

Re: 1985 SR5 T4WD, Rhode Island

Here you go! As you can see, it was a quick and dirty paint job, but it should keep Spud on the road a while longer. I fixed a couple of holes as well with some fiberglass, incl. on the driver's A pillar. The black on the window trim really made a difference, esp. around the windshield. IMAG1332.jpg...

Re: 1985 SR5 T4WD, Rhode Island

Dallas now called Spud, has been given a makeover courtesy of POR15, trim black and rustoleum antique white, new shocks/struts, terro ant killer and a selective r/r with older parts from my other T4wd. She now resides at a friend's house waiting for registration.

Re: unhappy with 80w-90 gear oil

Petros: I'm thinking of changing from an STP 80w90 gear oil to something else to eliminate a notchy feeling and difficulty getting into 5th and reverse. Can you update us on your gear oil experience since your comment above? Thanks

Re: New clutch - pull engine or transmission?

I have found that a rest is needed while filling tranny. It did take about 2 hours to fill, with a quart-size graduated funnel and a long tube to the front most fill hole. I ended up getting frustrated that the last 1/4 quart wouldn't stay in, so I dropped the rear of the car off the jackstands and...

Re: New clutch - pull engine or transmission?

Following up re the transmission fluid and whining. Gearshifts began to be a bit harder, and the whining was increasing. Today I checked the fluid level, found it flowing out of the full hole. But when I drained it, I only had 3.2 quarts in the tranny. :shock: After taking an hour and a half to fill...

Re: Parts needed - TVSV, taillight, window trim

Petros- yes that's the part! Any chance you've got any of the other things I need, like marker lights or the trim piece over the rearmost P/S window?
