i went up to 500 miles as that is the distance i would be willing to get the right deal on the right car.

 

Going to start reupholstering drivers seat tomorrow.

 

Ho, ho, ho.

 

I will sell my silver car. Just put new General Altamax tires on it Saturday. When you sell your car come and see me.

 

What?
Alright, I'll make sure to keep your car in mind when it gets sold.

 

Also if the starter is starting to go bad does it start to stick? It doesn't always do it, but recently its started to occasionally give the grinding noise when I first try to start it.

 

VWs are not known for their mechanical reliability. In fact, while good performers on the street, they are consistently one of the least-reliable auto brands on the road, year after year.

Thus was the source of my chuckle. Be warned...

 

That doesn't sound like sticking, that sounds like it's not fully engaged. Either your flexplate is damaged, the starter is damaged, or it needs to be shimmed. Pull the starter and look at the gear teeth.

 

Mberglo's right. If you let it go too long, it can actually wear out teeth on the flywheel so that the starter will no longer engage at certain points. At this point, you'd have to drive around with the bellhousing inspection plate off and carry a really long screwdriver or crow bar to manually rotate the flywheel (and engine) a few degrees to where the starter can mesh with good teeth. Ask me how I know this...

 

Well I've been lucky so far today. It hasn't done it yet.

 

Should be painting some of it today to finish up.

 

Getting stuff ready, still have yet to paint though. Hopefully get that done thursday before class. Printed off a mod list of things done to the coupe and also went and bought a for sale sign.

Love it! I love the slammed look.

 

Should find out later this week if they are going to buy it or not. They really liked it when I showed them it today.

The car that will replace it right now looks to be a 03 350Z.

 

Get to take the transmission out again

 

I thought you got that fixed?! Should have stuck with the 3 speed toploader transmission, that's one tough tranny. kennyg

 

I did spend a $170 on it that should have fixed it, but what was done didn't work. I've just driven it with the problem still til now. I'm fixing it before the people buy the car from me.

I actually have 2 3 speeds sitting out in our little storage house, but I don't have a driveshaft that will fit them.

 

Can anyone tell me the difference in a 3 speed yoke and a 5 speed/C4 yoke?

EDIT: Never mind found they are the same.
