a rag joint is a disc of fabric and rubber that is used between some of the non-power steering shafts and the rack..... a universal joint is at the top of that section, attaching to the shaft , and steering column shaft ..... which part is bad?cheers, brian

depending on the bolt, you can drill through from the top, put a socket on it and tap away......... but technically , he is right...bad idear.however, when i did not know better, i did this several times without drilling a hole (with a hole saw)above, and was able to clean them out pretty well....... cheers, brian

he is talking about the tumbler, just the tumbler........ i have been trying too, and i cannot remember......nor get it out.i do not have time to call a locksmith.but that is the next step i believe.let me know whats up. and i think it is a pain, but not nearly as impossible as stated.....cheers, brian

unless you have a very nice GPS, and i mean, very nice, the variability is to high.still fail...... you have to have reliability to get concrete data.sorry ben, but your rigs are not reliable.(proven by your own posts, not bashing) the driveability is better with a 5 spd period. and the rpm's drop about 500 rpms throughout the range....this was tested on a 1986 brat with 185/80/13's,205/75/14's, and 235/75/15's.on a 1983 wagon with 175/70/ 13's and 235/75/15's. you originally stated"maybe a little higher"...... that is what i went off of.cheers, brian

hrrmm, last time i knew, you were pbarely getting any 4spd to work at all in your brat.when did you do a 5 spd swap? and guages not working pretty much make your results null and void.no concrete data.sorry, fail. cheers, brain

have you done a 5 spd swap for comparison?'cause you should say anything about it unless you have first hand knowledge..... cheers,brian
