BC_99 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Cleaned the engine and tranny off trying to find source of oil leak. Found some peeling paint from brake fluid on frame rail must be recent because no rust yet, cleaned that of and repainted. Pondering if I should rebuild my auto or do manual swap. My auto is slipping . Nice, If you do decide to swap to 5 speed, Read this, it will make your life soooo much easier. http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=57557 Oh, and I just parted out a 5 speed car, so I think I have just about everything you would need for a swap if you are interested.

cheesey Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 I have that link saved to my favorites. lol. Might try replacing fluid on the auto and see what happens. But I think it may be gone. At least the motor runs strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 you could rebuild it, and have you tried adjusting the bands rebuilding is easier then you thinka real kick for an auto car is a 3:90 rear gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edde Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 I noted the advance of the malignancy on my pass side rear a little bit better. The car I was working on instead was parked right close Any day now I'll be on it again tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the whole tranny need to be taken out to adjust it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FijiPhil Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 I drove the quest to work, and a few of my coworkers were blown away by it. One guy asked me if it had paddle shifters, and I had to tell him no, it was a plain ol 5 speed http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r80/fijiphil/redquest_zpsb2625367.jpg I swear its red and not pink.. dont mind the camera on my phone lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

importwarrior Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) put in a front window sun blocker so the front seats don't melt.waiting for parts to show before doing any more. I got so many parts but for different areas of the car. I was trying to tackle one thing at a time but when certain deals come along you have to get them whileyou can. so I have to start trying to complete one project at a time.next is turbo and down pipe. then struts, then steering pump and gear box and power steering hoses. etc... etc... etc...

Fuze Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Took spare steering box and PS pump out of the drawer in the garage, contemplated jacking up the car and starting to pull the old stuff, closed the drawer and decided to drink some beer and chill in the hammock instead.
