I'm installing a shift kit and I need to know how the spring assembly for the TV cable goes on. I made a big mistake and did not record how this assembly connects before removing the vavle body. Anyone have a diagram they might be able to email me of this assembly. Thanks

Need a little help here.... I changed the trans fluid and filter on my 87 GN and now the 1-2 shift is very weak. The car would grab second real nice and chirp the tires before the fluid change. Is there something I may have done during the fluid/filter change to cause this to happen or is...

I need to replace the drivers side window motor on my 83 T-type. Does anyone know what size hardware to use in place of the 4 rivits that will need to be drilled out. Also is there a source for the nylon rollers in the regulator assembly. I think some of them have gone bad contributing to the...

Jim, Is it typical on a working hydroboost system that you can push the peddle all the way to the floor?

I need a little help with the Hydroboost system on my 83 T-type. The wife was driving the car last Friday and said the brake light came on then went out. I checked the car when I got home and found that when you press the pedal the brakes would engage and stop the car but you could push the...

How much for the Nitto's and the rims? They are GN rims ..right?

The car sat for about 30 min. before the fan started running. I have left the hi speed by pass switch on before and the fan runs for about ten min. after you turn the car off then shuts off. I think it is going to be either a bad relay or the hi temp switch thats gone bad.

Hi, I drove the GN to work yesterday and a little while after I got home and parked in the garage the fan started running at high speed. The only way to stop it was disconnect the battery. I do have a high speed fan switch installed and check that but it was not the problem. I haven't...

I have an 83 T-type and it appears that the power booster unit of the hydo-boost system is leaking power steering fluid from the firewall end. Is this a common failure point on these systems? Should I consider this piece toast and go get a new one or is it repairable. Any input is...

Hi All, I was driving the 83 T-Type the other day and the Shifter "T" handle broke seems the previous owner glued it once. No big deal I have ordered a new one but there is one problem. The small piece of plastic that sticks out of the shaft is broken also. Now the questions....I'm guessing I...

WOw Freddie...That's alot to digest right now...I do have all the wiring and computer and distributer that was removed from the car. I'll have to take a look at the parts and see what condition they are in. If I have to do that much to get this thing running correct what do you think about going...

No smell of gas but the car has no pick up at all. I'm going to start with the timing and be sure that the Vaccume advance is working correct. What about a clogged cat? Like I posted before the previous owner removed all the turbo parts and coverted it to a N/A 2 bbl. I'll start the trouble...

OK Guy's, I haven't posted for a few weeks. Been busy with summer visitors and house work.... Anyway here is my problem. I have the rough idle issue worked out on the 83 T-Type (N/A 3.8 w/2bbl) but the gas mileage is terrible. I'm only getting 13MPG around the city. I did some research and...

I was looking at the time shown when ever I post a topic and I see that the board shows GMT. If thats the case why does it show 9am when I post at 1pm EDT. Shouldn't it show 5PM since GMT is 4 hours ahead of EDT?
