mines a cable clutch so no master cylinder to fail.

i would love to hear from someone who actually has an early dual range to confirm that the cable ends are meant to have the loose fittings i have described. I cant find any adjustment on the cable.

do you have one you can look at? assumptions aren't that helpful.

i think the free play is there to allow the detent in the box to locate the selector not the cable... but again thats just an assumption.

early dual range gurus - help me out!

So a while back I converted my auto lib to manual. I bought a 1992 GX with only 168K on it and basically swapped the lot across. I am now trying to sort out the last few niggling issues. 1. I cant reliably select low range. i pull the lever all the way up and more often than not when I let the clutc...

no havnt heard from him but if you think he would be interested please tell him to get in touch with me. I also forgot to add that the box has a modified valve body that has increased line pressure for nice firm shifts. Mods done by Brad at western suburbs automatics. The box shifted really well. If...

Custom auto box rebuilt at 170K ($2700) and removed at 244k after the converter failed! I suspect box is contaminated with metal from the c...

another tip.. drive to brisbane then put your car on the train to cairns. Saves a heap of driving and doesnt cost much more than fuel would have.

If the car is in good mechanical condition then you probably only need to spend money on suspension. A set of king springs and KYB struts will do the job for you. If you want to do some of the tougher stuff then a 2" lift kit would help too. Most of the really tough sections up there have bypass tra...

Mike (scorpion) has no interest in older subies anymore so I doubt he will care if you make look-a-like rims. Just give him a call.
