rod shifter
Help Too I hope I can sneak in on this thread. I just had something similar happen. My shifter flops back and forth and my car is stuck in overdrive. When I look at the shifter in the car it is connected to the left rod but not connected to the right rod. A black plastic piece that connects the...- Lessons_learned

Shifter Thingamabob
Help with Broken Shifter While driving home last night my shifter stopped working and now flops along the forward-back axis. I pulled up the skirt on the shifter and unmounted it. Under the shifter stick itself a plastic connector broke that connects the stick to a rod (right rod) that I assume...- Lessons_learned

Starter wouldn't stop starting . . .
All, thanks for the help. I replaced the positive and negative cables, the starter, and the solenoid. Works great. The starter teeth and flywheel teeth were unaffected. The starter spun up so fast that the winding wire flew off and blew up the housing on the rear of the starter.- Lessons_learned

Starter wouldn't stop starting . . .
Actually the battery ground cable does look pretty rusty. Maybe that was the culprit. I still haven't had the courage to look under the car. -

I just took a trip to the convenience store. Car has been running like a top. Really beautifull sounding engine. I started the car as normal, but when I let off the key, the starter continued to run. The engine would fire up and shut off with the turn of the key. Not knowing what to do and...- Lessons_learned

Water Outlet Repair?
Got it Thought I would followup for anyone who might pull this thread up with a search. The 3.8L does not work. It is too large. The guys at the parts house went through the shelves of water outlets and pulled one for an unknown vehicle that was about the correct size. Then the machinist at the... -

Water Outlet Repair?
possibility It looks like the outlet for a 3.8L Taurus has the same gasket pattern, so this might work. Does anyone know for sure? -

Water Outlet Repair?
A word to the wise, do use a torque wrench when replacing the thermostat. I did not and I broke the water outlet, or the piece that the upper radiator hose connects directly to. This is on a 1991. Does anyone know the number of an equivalent water outlet part from another vehicle or some...- Lessons_learned
