  1. Thanks Hemi Found them online and am able to source them right here in Canada
  2. Hemi---Can you clarify the source for the bushing kit for my 16V ?The website for www. DirectAuto.com Shows "no product match"when I enter the info you gave me.
  3. Thanks Hemi I was hoping I would get a reply from you. I will let you know how I make out but it may be 2 or 3 weeks before I can get to this
  4. Have a 1990 16V with only 31000 miles. A joy to drive but the gear box is "sticky" Shifts up or down into 2nd, 3rd or 4th are smooth and easy. First and reverse do not engage as easily and 5th often will not engage. It does help if I move the stick ( in neutral ) to the opposite side before shifting into 1st, 5th or reverse. Is this an adjustment issue with the gear shift itself or is there more involved? If adjustment,-- how is this done?
  5. Don't know if a plastic cap for the fuel tank release lever is available. Pretty easy to make one from a small piece of hardwood ( 1"x1"x1/4" ) Cut a recess in the back of the wood to fit the metal handle. Round the edges, stain it the colour you want, and glue it on. I used a piece of oak door stop. Looks great.
  6. Purchased a 1990 16 valve TC last year. Car is in great shape with less than 35000 miles. The engine runs well but it looks like a P.O.S. because the paint is flaking and peeling off the aluminum valve cover. I have removed the cover. The gasket looks good ( somewhat hard but no breaks ) and should be re-usable. Looking for tips on refinishing. Also is the correct colour scheme red lettering on the black valve cover or just polished letters on the black cover?
