    My convertible top will not , go back up .... Sensor which ???

    Sounds to me like the e-brake sensor is not perfectly normal. You don't have a whole lot left to replace though.

    Rear end Gears

    Got mine done for $250 from a friend of a friend. That was all labor though. I had gotten the gears off of e-bay (FRPP) and bought the deluxe bearing kit (RATECH or something like that) from Summit. They replaced the gears, seals, shims and inner/outer wheel bearings.

    Car Shakes like Crazy!

    I'm with Hissin...Had a harmonic balancer go out and while I was sitting at a red light it felt like I was in a popcorn machine. Once I got up to about 50 it would settle out. Could be U-joints too though. Easily verified on the U-joints. I wouldn't think drive shaft unless it started...

    Pulleys and 3.73 Gears in...

    TheDamned, What size motor do you have? You're going to notice that you are shifting into high gear at about 55 miles per hour if you have the stock motor and manual transmission, and you baby it like I do. But, you get there a lot quicker, :) I know mine is going to be awesome when my...

    95 idles is very low and rough?????

    95 Conv, is it a manual or automatic? Believe it or not, I had another car that ran hot because the transmission was low on fluid (automatic). That would also explain idling like crap.

    Subtle popping noise after changing the struts

    All, I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this, but advice from fanatics always helps, :D :D I changed out my struts and shocks last week. I did not change springs, and the struts were made for stock replacement. I noticed that when I pull out of my driveway, I can hear a little pop...

    werid tranny noise

    Could still be the throw out bearing. Mine is doing the same thing. Does the sound go away when you engage the clutch?

    Anyone noticed these on their cars?

    jmuva44, What do you use to clean your windows? The old wives tale of vinegar and water sure doesn't work. Makes the window sticky so it sticks to the rubber. I only know this because my wife used it last time to clean my windows. My motor also runs slow with weight. I don't think the...

    The lowdown on vert top motors

    I know this sounds silly, but, being an electronics guy, I say fuses/circuit breakers first, switches second, wiring third (if nothing has been messed with), and finally the motor. No need in spending lots of money for a motor that still won't turn. It sounds like your ebrake switch is...

    Backfire when warm and downshifting

    Mine does the same thing. I figured it was normal. Not really a backfire, but more a gurgling sound, right?

    Where to buy brake caliper bolts?

    Let me guess, Fawcett, you were changing your front rotors and the bolts were torqued down so tight that even an impact wrench was stripping the head on them. Funny, I just had that problem today. Now I don't know what I am going to have to do other than get a torch and vice grips and new...
