Synchros on 2nd and 3rd are going - 2nd is worst. I can deal with it by double clutching as long as I don't want to take off in a hurry.
Rear sunroof, Cruise control are inoperable. (Actuator on the throttle body works when vacuum is applied)
I think the factory CD player might be disconnected or broken - can't figure out how to access it from the factory stereo and I do not have cartridges for it.
A little rust in the rear door pillars and near a body mount by the front of the rear wheel.
SRS light is on (This might hurt the pocket...
) although I could always run with it disconnected.
Oil leaks either from the front main crank or the power steering box - amound other places too
Steering is sorta heavy but then I have got this to "replace"
a Chevy Cavalier ... although heavy steering in a vehicle this size is a good thing in my mind (Can you say twitchy Ford Exploder steering) and I grew up in SII, SIII, Defender 110.
Drivetrain seems to have a bit too much slack, there is a vibration @ over 65 mph - feels like in the rear end so it'll probably be the rotoflex. Front vibrates too - time to balance wheels, change ball joints, stabilizer, trailing arm bushings, or steering box.
Other than that I am cool with it - and it does have 157 thou on it. Can't help have a small smile on cruising to work etc
