How do the 1-2 accum springs go again? Blue on top and brown on the bottom or visaversa? I didn't like the way it shifted without the bottom spring in but I forget which one goes where.

My mark is pretty much bone stock with 260,000 miles, but yesterday on the way home from work I got smoked by a Hyundai Genesis. That thing was quick!

What exactly is the gadget in the trunk on top of the rear shocks. The upper bushings on my shocks are shot. How hard are they to change?

What causes a tranny to take so long to go into first or reverse? I put it in drive, wait a second then step on the gas and it feels like it wasn't in gear yet and hits hard. The same for reverse. I'm quite sure that the mlps is OK.

I just changed the plugs and wires due to a slight miss at take off. There is still an issue of a vibration in park with the rpms at around 1300. Technically it's there all the time, it's just more pronounced at 1300. Also, what would cause the check engine light to come on right after a WOT...

So this is carried over from the brakes forum now that we know it's not the brakes. The car acts like I'm pumping the brakes when I'm almost at a complete stop. whether slowing to a stop or just releasing the brakes. It does it in drive and in manual 1st but not in manual 2nd, and only when it...

Lately I've experienced this wierd pulsating when the brakes are applied very lightly at very low speed, as in barely moving. It happens just before the car stops and just as I let off the brakes. The car ratchets foward, as if I'm pumping the brakes, but I'm not touching the brakes. It stops...

While struggling to get my tranny rebuilt so it works, I thought that the tranny mount was broken. It wasn't broken but it was pretty worn. What I thought was the tranny mount is actually connected to the exhaust, well, it's not connected any more. The rubber is broken clean through. What is...

I just had the tranny rebuilt...AGAIN...and found out that the mount is broken. I called AutoZone, PepBoys, and two dealers and they say they can't get one. I also checked Ebay and nothing. Where could a guy get another tranny mount?

I have real bad engine noise through my stereo ever since I replaced my bad stock JBL amp with an after-market Clarion. I have a Clarion deck and had it before changing the amps. Anyway, I just recently discovered that the noise subsides when I slow quickly then comes back as I release the...

My '93 has a miss only when I take off from a stop. Could my ailing tranny be making it seem like a miss?

My brakes have been acting like the ABS is wiggin' out. It feels like the ABS actuates when slowing down at lights. I cleaned the sprocket for the sensors on the front wheels and replaced the pads. The rotors looked fine. Could the sensors be bad or is it the booster? The pedal goes further than...

Could someone remind me what causes the hesitation when shifting into drive from reverse on a '93 MK VIII and what can be done to fix it? There's some hesitation going into reverse from park as well.

With the transmission out of the car, should you be able to rotate the tail shaft with the selector in any position? This is with it sitting on the ground NOT installed.

What could be making the anti-lock actuate when it shouldn't? Sometimes when I slow for a light the brake pedal feels like rumblestrips and compresses further than it should in my opinion. Is this an actuator or sensor going bad? Oh, and today the anti-lock light came on for a bit. I stopped...

I am thinking of selling the 20 spoke directionals from my '93. Would $300 for the set be a good price? Too high or too low? Does anyone know what they cost from the dealer? I'm guessing around $400 a piece.

So just to be clear. Is there anything different between the 93 and the 94 tranny? I got a 94 with 100,000 miles on it for $100. Miles are high but not as high as mine, 255,000. The guy said it worked fine before they removed it to use on another project but then the project fell through so they...

What does the MAC chart say on how long it takes to remove and install the tranny on a '93 Mark VIII? I had a guy tell me 15 hours. That's not rebuilding it, just replacing it. Granted, it's probably more complicated but a guy in Holland dropped my '84 Cutlass's tranny, rebuilt it and had it...

I have a couple questions just to make sure I understand what I read in the tech articles. On a '93, can you upgrade to a deep sump pan and filter without changing any thing else? Do the modifications to the seperator plate work on a '93 or do you have to get a '99 VB? Can you get an already...

My e-brake cable is hanging down under the driver's door. Where the left and right side cables connect at the rear diff. doesn't look right to me. I can pull them together and it takes up the slack under the door but I can't figure out how to adjust it to stay that way. Of course my Haynes...
