    Tranny issue.........

    I just read in another thread that the filter sometimes falls off, allowing it to suck air around corners. This sounds like another possibility. :)

    Tranny issue.........

    The fluid is pretty red, but I don't know when or if the previous owner ever had it changed. I'm going to take it in to have it flushed next week. Hopefully that'll clear it up. I don't think it's got mercon in it so I'm gonna have them drain the converter too and re-fill it with mercon v.

    Tranny issue.........

    It checks full both hot and cold. How do you check it hot? Maybe I'm doing it wrong. My dodge ram checked full for 2 years even though it was leaking in three spots and then randomly one day I checked it and wasn't touching the dipstick and was 2 quarts low. :confused:

    Tranny issue.........

    I'm guessing it's either low on fluid or the fluid needs changed, but when I take a hard right, the tranny feels like it goes back to 1st gear and then you start accelerating and it runs up to about 4500 rpms and then shifts a few seconds later. Also, sometimes if you have to stop hard, it feels...

    Anyone Drift? I do!

    I can't see the video here at work, but by catching a few key words from reading the posts, it must be the video of the great Ken Block practicing a little Gymkhana. :D

    control arms............

    Sweet. Thanks guys. I've had the front wheels off my car a dozen times, but I've never really paid attention to the suspension. Sounds like something I can do in a few hours. :)

    Lets discuss buying a Mark VIII for a weeknd racer project

    Devin has gone a best of 12.18 @ 109.6 with just a little nitrous, a converter, and 3.73's and a few basic bolt ons without taking anything off the car. Check it out. www.streettostrip.com/Devin I'd say if you could get the weight alone down to 3500 or lower and nothing else, it would be dang...

    control arms............

    Are there any special tool that I might want to grab? I'm thinking about tackling this, this weekend. Do I need a spring compressor of will the wheel hang down far enough to take the tension off the spring?

    control arms............

    If I understand this correctly, I need to buy control arms for a t-bird since my mark has been converted to coil suspension? Are they hard to change? I really don't want to pay for labor too if I can change them myself. :D

    Ah crap.........

    It looked like it could be damp around the bottom of the water pump, but how in the world did it get from there to behind the inner fender well?

    Ah crap.........

    So I went out to my car on my break just a few minutes ago to smoke and noticed that there was some water under my drivers side front wheel and it was dripping slowly from the back of the inner fender well. I didn't think anything of it since I went through the carwash this morning. As I was...

    Thumps and rattles!

    Dead on. Mine has the same "something is gonna fall off" sound coming from the right rear and it is definitely the rear shock bushings/mounts. :D
