Making Progress

[kywes@bellsouth.net (Wes Brockway)]

When I replaced my tranny fluid, I followed the Bentley (I think) and
raised the front left of the car, removed the wheel, and used a funnel
with a long 2' probably to pour the fluid into the tranny. I put two
quarts and it seemed to be fine. With the long funnel I was able to hold
it up such that I could easily pour the fluid in.

I wish it had made as much difference for me. I'm still struggling with
shifts. May have to break down and replace the tranny.

     Flushed the transaxle on the Little Beastie and poured in 2 quarts
of Redline MTL. That stuff is expensive ($40 for the 2 bottles with
tax), but WOW!  A couple unexplained noises have now been successfully
vanquished.  I've only driven it to work and back once so far, but it
seems to shift smoother, especially into second.  Once again, this list
comes through with an outstanding suggestion.
     All that's left to do is replace the shift linkage bushings
(waiting for my questions to the PotterMan to receive a response) and
replace the warm-up regulator to solve the nasty idle problem and it's
as good as the day I bought it.  Better actually, with the upgraded
exhaust and suspension :)
     Only minor problem was getting the speedometer gear back in
correctly.  I hate that little bolt.  It's back in, but it brings up an
interesting question.  Other than putting the fluid in through the
Speedo hole in top, what other places do people pour the fluid through
into the transaxle?  I could never figure out an easy and effective way
to pour through the filler hole in the side.
