Hello all,This is my first time posting a thread on here, or anywhere for that matter, so please bear with me. I have always been amazed at the knowledge base on here, and would appreciate any help that can be offered. I am the proud owner of an all original 85 4+3 car that has a few problems. In a nutshell the trans pops out of second gear, and the dash occasionally goes a little berserk and then is almost black now, but I can see that there is still some activity.
Not having the budget at the moment to install Tremecs and ZF's and all that, I am wondering what the best approach is for the trans. I have found a "rebuilt" repainted? maybe, 4+3 from an 84 car at a reasonable price, being parted out. But as I have read there are extra switches on the trans as opposed to the 85. Can this 84 be used? What would you recommend for a clutch which will be replaced at the same time? I understand that there are several grounds for the dash problem, and could use a few detailed pointers in locating them as all the segments were lit properly before the lightshow. Again, all the assistance from guys whohave been down this path before me is very much welcomed and appreciated. Thanks gentlemen, and have a Happy Safe Easter.
p.s. I am not on here every day, so if it takes me a few days to respond, again, please be patient
