    86 4+3 No 1st or 2nd Gear

    That's a good idea. The car has 155K on it. It's my daily driver. It had started getting hard to shift the day before. I was thinking my clutch was wearing out. It has 60K on it. It was hard to shift in all gears. I think I just forced it into 1st a little too hard and snapped it. I had planned...

    86 4+3 No 1st or 2nd Gear

    We got the side cover off and the 1-2 Shift Cam shaft that goes through the side plate has sheared off just inside the plate. I've got a couple leads on where to find this part, but does anyone know of a reputable supplier. The 1 place I have found it has not replied to me yet. ;shrug Thanks for...

    86 4+3 No 1st or 2nd Gear

    Yes, 3rd, 4th and OD seem fine, as well as reverse. I was hoping it might be a linkage problem. Thanks for the reply:thumb

    Tire Size 315/35/17

    I have run 335-35-17's on my 86 coupe. I have the chromed 91 ZR-1 rims 9.5 X 17 Front and 11.5 X 17 Rear. I now have 315-35-17 on the rear due to availability issues on the 335's. I have a ground f/x body kit on mine so they don,t stick out and look retarded, as Hib pointed out. I have had no...

    Anyone drive their C4 every day?

    I bought my 86 with 70K on it in 2003. I drive it every day to work and have only been caught driving in the rain 3 times.:D

    Hey Inertia 500, mine is an 86 with cast iron heads. Does that make any difference??

    Aux. fan plug

    Just wondering if any of you had any luck removing the plug. I bought the Snap-On 3/8 drive socket, but that never had a chance at budging it out of it's hole. If anyone has any other suggestions, I would sure like to hear them.

    Really Dumb ?

    Thanks C4Tom. And you guessed it, no instructions and the Gm Shop Manual was no help at all. I feel the same as you on direction, just looking for a little validation.

    Tire Choice Help Needed

    Dunlop SP Sport 8000 I think they will be fairly sticky, but with limited life. They have a 200 wear rating and A's on traction and temp. My brother-in-law managed a Corporate-owned Goodyear Service Center here in Hot Springs until they closed it two years ago. He opened his own independent...

    Electrical Problems

    Oops Yeah, you're right I did mean ALDL and I'm pretty sure its his 86. At least that was the impression I was under. I have the 86 shop manual with the electrical layout. But, Im no engineer either

    Tire Choice Help Needed

    I just put a set of Dunlop SP Sport 8000s on mine. The price was reasonable and I like the footing I'm getting. The main reason though was they have the 335/35/ZR17 available for the rear. I run 275/40/17s on the front on chromed 92 ZR-1 rims. 17 X 9.5 front, 17 X 11.5 rear. I have always run...

    Electrical Problems

    Crispy Cluster Thought I better post this on your new thread. If you have a GM Shop Manual the color-coded wiring diagram is in the back Section 8A-82-0. Oddly enough it shows Pin E on the ALCL going out as Serial Data Output by way of the ECM. Hope this helps some , but I can't seem to find...
