I need the wiring harness side connectors for the transmission wiring (backup light, 4wd indicator, and EL indicator). Any chance you could cut this section of the harness for me so I can splice it back into my car?

So, I went did Petros' test to see if my front and rear were mismatched - got about 9 revolutions on the rear for 10 on the front - not a surprise since with only 100k miles it was on its second transmission and second engine. The engine had a bad rod knock and is currently being replaced by a built...

This one had a hit to the rear PS corner - not big, but possibly why it got scrapped. Unfortunately, it was an auto trans. I grabbed a few parts i needed, but my this pick n pull is really strict on parts pricing - for the distributor they tried to charge me for a "complete" distributor, a...

Ill be heading there tomorrow to check it out.

Yeah, I just did some searching and found that same info. So it looks like I have an early trans in my 85. Unfortunately I never drove it in 4wd before I pulled the engine for a rebuild, so I don't know if the rear-end was swapped as well. Still, for the other wires, does anyone know which color wir...

So, I just got my new EMPI axels installed. The car is still up on jacks and I have the axel nuts tightened a bit, but not torqued down yet. But now it is very hard to spin the wheels. Should this happen with new axels? I was reading somewhere else online that they will loosen up fine after driving,...

Whoever replaced the transmission in my 85 T4WD before I bought it apparently decided it would be a good idea to cut all of the wires on both the transmission side and the wiring harness side. So now, I have 4 wires sitting in my engine compartment, but only 3 hanging off of the trans. I have two wi...

I had the same issue with a brand new EMPI axel. xirdneh sent me the spider gear he was using and I was able to use the same method to get it to fit. If anyone else ever runs into this issue let me know and I can send you the gear if you don't have a spare tranny sitting around to pull one from.

Tried the ammonia, still no luck. Next step is to try some high head gas. After that I have an idea which might get it off but ruin the shield in the process. Does anybody have a spare dust shield sitting around they would be willing to send me if I do bugger it up?

I am having the same problem with my new rigjt empi axel right now. I cant even get it out.

Maybe he'll finally send me those parts I paid him for now that he's selling the car.

Same here. still owes me a few parts as well.

Hey Petros - what are the details on that spoiler. I've never seen one on a Terc before.

A 13' Scamp trailer, like Petro pictured above, weighs in at about 950lbs and has a tongue weight of about 100lbs. I wouldn't worry too much about power, but more about braking like others have mentioned, especially if you load the trailer or your Tercel down with camping gear.

I am currently getting everything ready to go to install my new 4AC motor. I figured now would be a good time to do a bunch of other stuff while the engine was out and I had better access. One of the things I am doing is new CV's as the car needed at least one anyways. The problem I am having is I c...

Does anyone have any tips for getting the output shaft dust shield off? I am having a hell of a time. It looks like there might be a little rust between the shield and the trans. I have sprayed it down with PB blaster, used a hammer, preyed with a screwdriver, used heat, etc., but NO LUCK. It doesn'...
