I was just looking at Rockauto's Website at the halfshafts and happened to check out the manual transmission section. Does anybody know if the Shift Shaft Seal is the seal at the top of the shift lever?(TIMKEN Part # 221207)--You know, the one that makes shifting difficult because it lets water into...

The high clutch force might be (as I found out the hard way) indicative of not wiping off the old grease inside of the throwout carrier :oops: . I swapped over one engine for another along with the clutch and throwout bearing. I failed to wipe out the old grease inside of the carrier and also off of...

The resistor pack is a relatively easy no-dollar fix if you're up to it. Pull the glove box (2 screws), and the first two defroster tubes (also 2 screws). remove the one screw holding the resistor pack in (it's behind the defroster tube that's more to the center) after disconnecting the wires.

Yeah, the Spridgets are fun, :lol: , but when it comes to driving the canyons in the snow, the tercs always get you home-even when the snow is cresting over the hood :mrgreen:. We were just shy of putting 300K on the '83 when it got taken out. It was on its fourth ressurection at that point. Now its...

I posted this in General category, but maybe this is a better place to put it. Well, after lurking in the shadows for about 18 mos, I've finally registered. I've had the first terc for 17yrs- It just saved my life 2 mos ago when some fool spun coming the other way in front of me. Combined speed abou...
