Next year's CJ will be especially hard for me, My Best friend who I could share many laughs and memories with will no longer be sitting right next to me. It will just be me, by myself. [/QUOTE]
My sympathy goes out to you & your family. I lost my dad 8 years ago & believe me, you will always feel like Dad is right by yor side. Hang in there dude.
Thank's guys. That gives me some hope. I'm going back to talk to him sometime this week. Hopefully he comes down on the $. I really want this car, but I wont let him kill me on it. This guy is sort of an ass to deal with. I'll let you know how it goes.
I'm not sure about the tranny end, but it was hooked up under the hood. http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ct=u&car_id=252368396&dealer_id=63310961&car_year=1987&model=TBIRD . Here is the link for it. What do you think I should offer him for it as is? He told me $2500 if he takes care of the problem, $2000 as is. He also told me that he was not aware of the problem, but I'm sure he ran this ad before I made him aware of it.
After all these years of wanting a T-Bird Sport, I finally found one for sale. I took it for a test drive & got sick instantly! It took way too long to shift into 2nd & when it finally shifted, it about broke my neck! Then it took awhile to go into 3rd. I stopped, pulled the shifter down to 1 & got on it a little bit & shifted to D & it went into 2nd, but didnt shift to 3rd until I let off the pedal. I never had a chance to get it to cruizing speed to check OD. Does this sound like a TV adjustment or am I looking at bigger$$ problems? The dealer wont go a $ below $2500 if he has to get it fixed, but I think he will let it go for about $1600-$1700 as is. He said he has had it for 4-5 months & he wants it gone.I figure for as much as he wants to charge for the repair, I could do a 5spd swap myself, but I need another DD now.
I'm pretty sure I still have the ones from my old doorpanels, I'll check today. If I do, they will be in your mailbox early next week. I still owe ya one. And the wheels roll fine. Thanks again.
Whats up man? I had the same problem Check the tilt wheel assembly. Take the steering column cover off & move the wheel up & down. You'll find it. I done a temporary fix on mine with a big hose clamp.( 2yrs. ago) :D
So, who is the clown that decided to make his first post about porn? I was shocked to see that here. Dont get me wrong, I dont have a problem with pictures of naked women, but I do have a 11 year old son that spends alot of time on the comp. & does check out the forum on occasion. This could suck if this becomes a problem. I hope I'm not alone on this one.
