OK, I figured there was, and tried to get lube up there as best I could, but how the heck does the whole shootin' match come out of the dash for easy service? I need to get to the lights back there as well. Don't even know which is which for the idiot lights. > The trans. may not be shifting if the downshift link link and the shift > cable are not adjusted right.

This is the only auto-trans car I've ever owned. He thinks the oil is nasty as hell, and a simple change of oil will probably go a long way to helping it. It WAS shifting again today, quit for a bit, and then started shifting again. Very frustrating. We also got it charging as well. Took apart the regulator and serviced/adjusted per the shop manual. Everything working great now, as far as charging goes. > > The Fury rims are 14" x 6". The correct tires are Goodyear. Radials aren't > ment to have tubes. Looked again, my tires are BF Goodrich, not Firestone, 14x8.00 Bias- ply (4-ply) exactly what the service manual calls for. Radials are for wussies! ;-) Too bad the 14x6 rims are correct, the set I have are much nastier than the 14x5.5's. Looks like I've got some wire-brushing ahead of me. Thanks for the tips so far!
