  1. Now I'm really confused. Looked on the axle tube (driver's side - near the differential). Swear the numbers read 67890. No letters that I can see unless the "6" is a "G" but I don't think so.

     

    Any insights?

    The numbers you are looking for are on the passengers’ side of the differential, on the forward facing surface. Use a scrubbing pad and some simple green to uncover the numbers.

    There is a very small seal inside that part that the cable screws onto. You can remove that part to get to it. Have catch can under it because you will lose some fluid. That pastic vent is pressed in probably by hand. You may be able to make a hook to reach in and pull it out even if it comes out in pieces.</font>


    George, You hit the nail on the head on both accounts. A $1.54 and 5 minutes later and both are fixed. Thanks a bunch!
  3. While pulling my motor and trans I broke the plastic vent on the top of the transmission. It’s broken off flush with casting. My question is how is this installed in the casting? Pressed, screwed etc...? Also, the speedometer cable housing has a small leak where the collar screws onto the trans. I can’t seem to get it tight enough. Is there a fix for this or do I need to replace the cable housing?

  4. I’m confused now. The nut I’m talking about is the one that holds the yoke on the end of the pinion gear for the drive shaft u-joint. I did change the pinion seal and I had to use an impact wrench to take the nut off. Using the info above, I’m assuming I use the impact wrench to tighten the nut?

  5. Thanks George and Mike. This helps a lot. I know what I need to do now. I had a feeling it would be something along those lines, but wasn’t sure what type of tools to use.

     

    The part in question is the wide piece below the trunklid.

     

    I didn’t think about finishing. What type of compound should be used when buffing? Should it be something like jewelers rouge? And after buffing should there be something put on the finish to protect it? Like wax or a clear coat?

  6. Recently one of the rear windows stopped working and now the driver window is slowing down. It’s half the speed of the passenger window. Any ideas to what may be going on. I’m thinking the switches are going bad. What should I check first? Thanks for any input.
