Hi guys I'm PJ. I've recently acquired a 93 Loyale wagon for $200 It had a gummed up radiator and an supposed new clutch before it came to me. The clutch only engages right at the top of the pedal run. A friendly mechanic messed a bit with it and got it to engage just a bit lower down the pedal run but not nearly in the middle where I would like it. The radiator problem was solved with a new one for $110. The car has an infernal rattle coming from the shift lever and I like to learn if there is an easy fix for this? It disapears as soon as I get hold of the lever but my right hand has better things to do while I'm driving. I quite like the car but at 72 my mechanical skills are worthless if any kind of awkward wrenching positions are required. At 6'4" its all I can do just to get in the thing. Ideas? Thanks PJ
