    Still having vibration problems...NEED HELP!

    Look at your U-joints first. You have 2 of them on the driveshaft. One at either end. One or both might be binding.

    School me on fan clutches

    So it's working correctly then. It always spins. After it warms up , it spins a little more freely.

    Help Car just died ( no key on power )

    So does the car crank with the key in the ignition, but doesn't start?' If so, I suspect your TFI failed.

    trans line fitting at the radiator leaks bad

    It was shifting bad because of the low fluid. If you only drove it 4 miles, your trans should be fine. Get it fixed and re-check your level, and you should be fine. Cleaning your IAC and throttle body of carbon should settle the idle down.

    Coolant Problem

    Nope. Look for a loose hose or the bottle could be cracked.

    Bent Quad shock

    It won't effect the car handling that much. If in fact it is bend, maybe it's just the dust cap that's dented. I suspect the past owner had bigger rims/tires in the wheelwell, or launching the car hard it did bend. Some guys take them off, rotate them to clear, but I like using them on my...

    Radiator Choices

    Not sure, but how much are you getting one of these for? You can get a nice new 3 core brass one for around $240.

    Fan Clutch Problems

    What fan clutch are you purchasing? There are 2 kinds you can buy. A thermatic and non-thermatic. Make sure you have a thermatic one, as the non will be harder to spin. You can tell the thermatic ones by the quarter size coil of metal in the front of the fan clutch. This should clear up...

    Rust/rot at rear roofline where it meets the hatch

    Can you tell me where you can get this replacement panel? Mine is rotted right through, so as the roof line metal seperated from the hatch side. Not good. I've been holding off fixing it due to the cost of having it done on a 20 year old car.

    Quieter mufflers than Flowmasters?

    I had Dynomax super turbos 2 1/4" and they were a little louder than stock, not much, but drones like heck at 1800-2200. I endured it for 7 years when they rusted out. I recently put on Flowmaster 3 chambers 2 1/2 and gained a seat of pants feel vs the dynomax 2 1/4". This is on a stock HPipe...

    help no O.D

    No Overdrive? Most likely something you can't just fix at home. The trans has to be pulled apart, and the OD band will need to be replaced. Usually the first thing to go in an AOD. The band gets burned and then has no holding power. If the band is toast, most probably the rest of the trans...

    How to update seatbelts?

    Yes, like trbkrb, I did the same on my '87 Hatch. The hatch required I install the quarter panel interior pieces from a '90-93 as well. But you have to weld in the shoulder harness assembly to the top of the tower. I had it done by a local professional. We removed the old lap belts and...

    C-4 or AOD

    Not sure about it being lighter, but depends on what kind of driving you do. Highway? Then you wanna keep an AOD. Just street driving and keep the cost a little lower? Then a C4, as it's only a 3 speed. But others will tell you to go with a T5 conversion.

    Flowmasters on otherwise stock exhaust

    Yes, I would have told you that. If the mufflers are rusted, you can rest assure the rest is shot or ready to go. Just pony up for a new catback. I had a dynomax 2 1/4" on, and it lasted as long as the SS stock stuff. 7 years. I have the Flowmaster 2 1/2" catback on ( see my sig), and...

    How THE HECK

    If the rest of the body is straight, you'll have to play with the hinge alignment, and are the rubber bump stops on the hatch on either side? They are on the inside corners of the hatch and rest on the body.

    How to Put New Hatch Window Trim On?

    Yes, I sanded and repainted mine years ago and it still looks good. There are many threads about how to go about doing it on the forums. General steps are.... Clean Mask the area off Sand, multiple steps with different grit paper. Prime, 2 or more coats to fill in the pits Sand between...
