    Re: Stick hard going into gear. Clutch problem?

    I've had issues on and off with 1st and reverse being hard to shift into. Sometimes if I step on the clutch pedal and wait for 5 seconds or so it'll shift right into gear like it's supposed to. I've...

    Re: Drive shafts and u-joints

    They look like they fit, I'd be super careful throwing cheap parts at a rotating part like a driveshaft. If that u joint breaks at 80 mph that driveshaft is coming through the floor and wreaking...

    When my alternator went out I went to a junkyard and looked for a car that had a similar denso alternator with the same 3 prong plug on it. I took it apart and got the brushes, diodes, and voltage...

  12. Re: replacing belts

    When dealing with the pulley/tensioner bolts on my van, I always find that long box end wrenches are EXTREMELY handy. I think the center tensioner bolts are all 14mm.

    Most of the connectors on the van are the Bosch type, used in all EV1 Jettronic fuel injection systems. You can pull similar ones off of several models of vehicles at the scrap yard (Volvo s40, Ford...

  24. Re: Van will crank but won't start (After headgasket)

    Hahaha, that made me laugh because the first time I tried to crank it after 6 or 7 hours of work, I was over-excited and forgot to do that, and I had to take the upper intake and all of its hoses and...
  25. Re: Van will crank but won't start (After headgasket)
