Ok thanks for the replies and advice... Tonight i squeezed a rubber grommet in the tv cable linkage hole on the throttle body... Just for temporary testing..
I saw some links for the brass bushing... Ill be ordering that soon.. The rubber will hold for temp testing..
I only drive this car up and down the street for test drives.. So it is definately not a daily driver
The previous owner didnt know anything about this car other than how to mess it up...
Finally got around to putting in a new pcv valve, draining the radiator, replacing both hoses.. I did this to feel comfortable getting it up to operating temp for a sustained period of time... The pcv valve was horrible looking.. Didnt rattle.. Perhaps the cause of leaks?!?
Filled it with prestone super flush and water... Thats another project for another day
The fluid was about 3/4 of a quart low... Topped it off and took it for a drive... It shifted firmer, kicked down the gears under throttle... And the rpms for shifting went up a hair... But nothing near 5k... Im going to crawl under her soon and drop the pan.. Change the filter and add fresh fluid
When i first pulled the dipstick the fluid was red with A few little bubbles
We will see how she improves... I will also take it to a tranny shop for an adjustment once the bushing comes in... Probobaly order a new cable just to be on the safe side
