I think I count 23 on the axel. So now I need to know what the compressed length should be. Basically, one of them didn’t fit the splines and the other one was too long. And please let me know if you have a preferred source.

I have a 1985 hatchback. So basically it is more like the older generation. Tried to replace the CV axles and the shop got the wrong ones. Anyone know of a good source for these and also how to let them know how many splines I need? Basically, is there any way other than pulling the axle back up and counting the splines from the transmission of knowing which ones I should order?

Got it. Is there only one sensor?

Hi guys. My temperature gauge isn’t working and I know it is probably the sensor. I found one going into the intake manifold. I’m just not sure if that is the right one. It sounds like there might be two of them on this model. If it is working I really don’t want to mess with it. I have the hand manual and know how to check but I want to make sure I’m checking the right sensor. Could anybody with the same motor send me a picture? My Haynes manual is not exactly helping.

I was a frequent visitor about 10 years back when I had my silver dual range 1984 GL. I had to sell to get a car for the kids. Well, the kids are teens and I found my dream machine. It’s 2 doors and a hatch this time. Up in Montana where old subies thrive. My local parts guy has retired so I may need help finding stuff. Happy to be back.

The window switch broke off in the rear passenger door. Can I just bypass this so that I can controle it from the center console? Right now it won't work at all.

That did the trick. I'm trying to get better about poking around in here a bit before I start a new thread. Thanks again.

a/c is a yes, and I've traced it back to there so pretty sure that's it. The oil is really just a coating and a little wet so I'll follow your advice and keep an eye. I just switched out the rear fuel filter and there seems to be a lot more life in the engine. I'm glad I found this message board. Everyone here has been a lot of help.

It is a stick.

Thanks. Pretty sure it is Oil. Dripping right at the back where the drive shaft leaves to head to the rear wheels.

I'm losing oil and its dripping from the transmission. What's the most likely culprit? How hard is the fix? Also, There is a hose dangling just next to the passenger side front wheel.Where is this coming from and where should it go? Is it possible I have a vacuum hose that has fallen off and needs to be reconnected?

I will give it a go. Is it strange that it would only lose power in third?

I'm hoping that this is not a transmission problem.

If it helps, it sort of surges and drops out, I can feel it lose power in spurts.

So, I'm driving the new rig home and as I charge a hill in 3rd the thing seems to lose power right above 3000 rpms. Doesn't happen in any other gear that I can tell. I just got irt and haven't looked at the fuel filter, it also has the original carb. Any ideas? It happens even when level, and always above 3000 rpms.
