    Comment


      just dropped tranny to fix input shaft seal. 1 day after re-install, rear main seal starts leaking oil. Now clutch is slipping over 4k rpm.

      Ordered new clutch disk and parts, dropping again next weekend to fix this crap.

                Ah, the trunk. Just ran into this issue as well, although my trunk is just stuck shut (I think the 100 degree heat and humidity had something to do with it) and I can't get it open.

                  so starting today my hood doesn't open anymore. There is too much slack in the wire. And my massive power steering leak is getting worse. Hello e36 rack swap.

                    For some odd reason my driver side window won't role up all the way, the motor and switch works fine. There's like an inch gap of open window, wtf?

                      Random power loss during start up and first few minutes of slow driving, sometimes. Runs great at high power and speed.

                          Long flat head through the right side of the grill will pop the latch. Use that until you get around to replacing cable.

                              Bad Ball joints. damn. Although i thought they might be 250-300 each and Pelican has them for a bill. That made me happier. Need to start ordering a full suspension revamp. Bushing shocks etc and i will be making my first order to Blunt.
