When im sitting with the car running, i dunno if this happens when doing something different, but when i put it into gear and back up and hit the breaks it sounds like something in the rear slides back and hits like metal to metal i have no idea about it since i just bought it but any info would help.

Thanks

 

Hows the condition of the rear end, drums, shocks/springs, are the bump stops there ?

Could be tranny mounts to.

 

come to recall the guy did say be put on a new trans mount i dunno i havent got under it yet i just moved to cali from washington for school and im in an apt atm so i had no room for much tools

 

if he uses indoor extension cords in a 200degree plus engine bay, and installed the tranny mounts, id redo it

 

yea i would need to do that but as for the shocks and drums i havent got into those yet but the front shocks do squeak and the brakes when coming to a stops seem to be sticky and hard stoping when coming to a stop

 

Sounds like a lot of work ahead of ya, you will learn a ton


Since you just got the car, id replace every fluid in that puppy, i bet that rear gear fluid is nasty.

What kinda budget you working with.

 

Well for the moment around 600, I need a reliable car so i can get a job, money isnt a problem for the moment so i didn't need one. But that means no extra money for anything so after i get a job ill have alittle more here and there to upgrade. Im going to UTI so state is helping pay bills and such

 

Ok Check the tranny mount, have someone do this backing up & brake so u can make sure.

Replace your fuel filter
Oil filter & all fluids, don't forget the rear. Takes Two of the jugs, i used royal purple, but you can go for the less expensive stuff.

Get new plugs, wires, Ignition Control Module, Distributor.

Get two cans of sea foam 9.99$ each at auto zone, this will clear alot of junk up.

If it doesn't have an open air element, get one, their cheap and easy to do , stock setup will actually hurt your performance/MPG.

Make sure the battery and alternator are new, if there is any coloration to the alternator coils other then the rainbow copper look, id replace the alternator.

That should leave some cash left over for fixing your cooling problem and such.

 

Ok yea ive got the stock wing nutted incased air filter on the car
