- It looks like my planned project weekend for Memorial Day got changed a little. The plan was to strip the car to bare metal and prime with a corrosion resistant primer so I could start the body work.

- Rear brakes sticking sounds like it might be a rear cylinder leak, with fluid on the shoes. Messy job, but not technically difficult. I can't quite figure your transmission situation, either. There i

- OK, I'll check and see if I have fluid on the shoes. I need to purge the brake fluid anyway so that won't be a big deal. I'm glad I am not the only one perplexed. The cover on top of the tunnel is ri

- Patton, I did 5 moves in 11 years from 1985 - 1996, and in 2 of them, my '76 B was not running, the result of an accident... My company's policy is the same, but a little cash to the movers convinced

- They moved the Sprite twice when it wasn't running, but when I got the Corvair they got less accommodating. It was easier when the just put the cars in the moving van, but now they flatbed them and i

- I just recalled that somewhere on one or the other of the trannies there are some spring-loaded bolts, which apparently control the tension on the shifter. They had largish heads and little coil spri

- Actually, it sounds pretty close to being right, for a 4-syncro. The three bolts (if I'm remembering clearly) are stepped, and do not clamp the shifter retaining plate in place. They hold springs in

- Here is my take on the shifter.. It is a late full syncro tranny. The cover been moved back a bit and the gap it left has been covered up with huh.. Something.. Someone has fitted the early shift lev

- Great Photos. What you have is an interesting half way all-synchro conversion. I'm betting the DPO only had the transmission and not the shifter hold down bits. It looks like it will work ok for the

- Do you think there is a way to use the later hold down with that shifter. I really like the positioning of the shifter in the car as it is. As it is set up now, the car shifts smoothly without vague
