Petros: the symptoms are that the hatch will (usually) only open with the key, if it is not also locked with the key it will not completely close. I tried to fix it but broke a small tab off the cylinder. Does that help?

Bump

@The Professor - Thanks, PM sent!

Needed for my '84 T4wd: TVSV- I tried to fix the broken off plastic top, but every time I repair it breaks off again. I've read the threads about TVSVs and want to see if someone has one available that might work before exploring other options, like a weber. Other parts needs: Rear taillight housing...

"Is it your car?"

LOL, no, just my opinion. I've already got one so I don't need another. But since I've been busy doing much of the same work to resurrect mine, I thought I'd chime in.

Actually with the work done, spare wheels, LED headlights, I think it's a good deal. Replacement windshields still exist, and it's got the best spec (IMO) - plaid seats and inclinometer!

Now down to $3500 ask

@marlinh - sorry for the late reply, but I've been working on my other rides. I didn't get the flywheel machined, it didn't look fried/warped/beat up. Scrubbed it with a scrubber pad, cleaned it with brake clean then acetone, and it looked fine.

New clutch remains grabby, I mean it jolts a bit when I lift off the pedal, not very smooth. Checked the tranny oil and it was overflowing when I opened the fill plug on the driver's side, since it's fresh I suppose I'm good. I'm working on getting the timing down right, just set it all the way one ...

Might be the same car, being flipped after servicing? Or is this the ex-Petros car?

Good point, I'll check the gear lube this weekend. There is a bit of a whine from the input shaft I guess in gear as well.

Clutch grabs/shudders a bit with each gear change, a bit like some driveline slop. I'll check the adjuster and see if that resolves with more gear oil.

Got the engine back in and hooked up in time to enjoy a messy snowfall here in the northeast. Old clutch and pressure plate were toast. New axle makes the T4wd ride like a new car. The car is a bit harder to get into reverse, but I will see how it works out after a few hundred miles. Other gears shi...

Got the axle in without issue, thanks to the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKOWhAKf2Qs Just had to grease the spline end a bit to get it to slide into the tranny.

Xirdneh - I just saw your post re the bad pressure plate and thick clutch you posted years ago -

I have a bruteforce clutch kit I got from Rockauto, with a clutch disk that measures .347". Should I be worried?

Petros, splatterdog, marlinh, Xirdneh - thanks for the tips. Getting the engine ready to pull, I will see how I do without removing the input shaft. The right side grinding is really more of a metal crunching, quite pronounced. Wheel bearings check out without much play side-to-side on the lifted wh...
