    Next time get the lifetime alignment, that will make them fix it fast. They will loose money if they have to realign the car every 6 months. There is one other..outside....longshot....question. Has this car ever been hit?

    Thanks Scott for the offer, but good ol' rock auto had a new one at a very reasonable price and brand name.

    If your using an auto, i would add a tranny cooler. If you want extra cooling on any engine, there is something always forgotten, the engine oil. Adding a cooler there with a thermostat will remove heat.

    I agree. Cupping is not an alignment issue. Your alignment may have been out, and I find it a little hard to beleive that all four wheels were out of alighnment. 1 yes, 2 yes, 3 possibly, 4 what the heck did you hit.

    i should have that i'll look tomorrow. increased cooling is better done with a larger raditor. It is not so much air flow vs surface area.

    After all the TLC the Justy decided the fuel pump had to go. I was shopping them around and sheesh, part prices were from 59.00 to 209.00 Has anyone else replaced theirs with a off brand (that looks OE) and had any issues?

    Cables can feel normal in the sheath when unloaded.

    Once you start off from a start, it is just like a manual tgranny in a car, match teh RPM and the tranny deosnt care. Chains stretch and will brake over time. I used to replace mine at every 20K with the rear sprocket.

    If i remeber correctly these have a rotation sensor on the front of the compressor/clutch. If this sesnor fails the AC will not turn on. You can look there as it is generally a simple system. Have you jumped the pressure switches to confirm they are not the problem?

    Does cursing him to hell count? Put the interior back together, cleaned him up, got the papaerwork for the tags, went to start the Justy and it wouldnt start. i think it is that stupid 23yo fuel pump. If it cant last half a century whats the good in making it in the first place!

    Next time it happens try rocking the car back and forth and see if it will come out of gear.

    Where is the fun in that

    Makes a nice coffee table

    It may just be a coincedence. Have you tried engaging it from under the car? Have you inspected the linkage and the bushings?
  15. nipper
    Remove the old switch and see what happens.

    It took a lot of cursing yelling and paience but I used an old fashioned 1970's black and decker drill and a 1/2 drill and just went at it. The holes on either door dont match the other but once in a while i can shut off the engineer in me.

     

    i am putting the interior back together. Then is the timing belt for which i may pay someone, then tires and exhaust and its done.

    i have to go back over some of my plumbing first as there may be a slight oil and gas leak.

    You have a weigh station nearby?

    Just because someone has seen someone else tow a heavy trailer with a smaller car doesnt mean it hasnt started off with "Here hold my beer ...."

    The highest sealing force on a gasket is at the edge of the gasket. I can only guess that this has something to do with it but it is just a guess.

    how much is the car rated to tow
  21. nipper
    Is there even a hitch available for the car?
  22. nipper
    I'm not seeing how this is fatal, unless it is just the camera angle. To me anything but a tree (or something like that) or rust is fixable
  23. nipper
    The one truly nice thing about tranny lines is that they are are easy to repair. They are one of the few things that are still fixable with duct tape and bubblegum (some hose and clamps).

    Twosleft rear wheel well and one dead center on the roof at the windsheild. Cars since 95 dont really rot here as long as they see a car wash twice a year.

    You will see that on gaskets at times, it is not a biggie.
