First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... So heres my update:
I replaced the fan clutch and also replaced the original radiator with a desert cooler. So far no overheating problems. The old clutch was definetly bad, so replacing the radiator may have been overkill, but its no harm no foul. I had a weird problem of the transmission modulator vaccuum line hose tearing in half - never seen that one before! It explained why the bird shifting at such hig RPMs and running like crap! Unfortunately I had not run the car much over the past few years, so now I have a small transmission and oil leak that have developed - doh! I havent yet identified the location of the leaks. I did see small oil drops developing on the bottom of the start when it was sitting still and running - its just really tough finding those darn leaks!!! The motor and tranny were rebuilt 4 years ago and have less than 200 miles on them, so its probably a stupid issue of me not having run the car enough - I hate to pay the $$$ pull the tranny to have the front seal replaced (which is probably the problem) and I certainly would hate to replace the rear main seal if thats whats leaking - I am hopful that driving it will help relube the seals, but I dont expect much to change....any helpful advice is always appreciated... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Submissions to Firebird-L: <[email protected]> Unsubscribe from Firebird-L: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Help: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/firebird/Firebird-L.html> Classifieds: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/ubb/> Owner Pictures: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/show/> Donations: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/store/cart.mv?999999> FGF Merchandise: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/store>
