Hey everyone, going to be doing a manual transmission oil drain this weekend and just wanted to rehash this topic. I know there have been quite a few write ups about which kind of gear oil to use, but just wanted to share this information with any new users. (Such as myself.) The gear oils listed be...

I think we've got a winner here!

Winner of what, I don't know!

Some updates: Couldn't get to this job today before the sun set over Manhattan today... The wife had errands to run and by the time she got back there was only enough time to change the oil. :? But I do have some updates. I am thinking the little hook on the new bracket will go into some hole (right...

Little red pieces of plastic came out of it... v70_broken_fuel_line_connec.jpg So we ended up using this fuel line...

Mounts weren't oozing yet, but compressed by over a cm! Took me 6 hours the first time around. This time aro...

Don't know what it was about this puller that inspired confidence. But after a little back and forth (and installing this thing wrong a few times) I was able to pull the pulley off. This was off a 95 850 so the pulley was wedged on there for over twenty years!! It was $50 though... I will have to re...

Got some issues with my 850 NA Wagon. Took it down to a shop and got a quote. Want to know what y'all think. Current issues: - oil leak from pcv breather hose - starts and runs while cold. Won't start or drive if engine is hot. - blowers are strong and I can change direction, but absolutely freezin...
