[quote=”EricTheCarGuy” post=37747][quote=”Ruzzah” post=37481]Slightly off topic, have you ever considered coming down to Australia and meeting up with the mighty mod team? I’m sure they’d love to meet you, and I’d love to see something come out of that :)[/quote]
Yes and I have a valid passport. Now the financing….. and oh yea, the time to do it.[/quote]
If you’re serious, I’m stoked. Glad to see you’ve thought about it 🙂

I might have been a bit misleading when I said my clutch is shifting a little rough than usual, this is the the gearstick having a higher restriction to put into gear, however the gears go in perfectly once I get the gear to change, I believe the synchro’s are fine.

I can not find any transmission oil in the car, is it possible that my car does not have transmission oil and instead uses gear oil, if so where can I find it? I have looked at my oil and it seems to be 2/3 below the maximum line, so I will soon drain out all the oil and replace it along with the oil filter, air filter and fuel filter. Could the slow idling be caused by bad oil, bad air filter, bad fuel filter, making the engine work harder? I will also replace spark plugs to see if that helps. Please post any suggestions about the transmission/gear oil, I seriously can’t find anything to indicate that it has it. Thanks!

Car is completely mechanic, that rules out sensors and ecu, cleaning my carb is in my todo list, I’m going to replace spark plugs, and wires however it doesn’t miss at all, it just idles at a low rpm than it normally should be at. I’ll have a look into this after my exams 🙂 Thanks

Thanks for the reply everyone, I guess I’m gonna have to look for the transmission fluid, is it possible that this car doesn’t have transmission fluid, or is it impossible for it not to have it? I’ve never seen it under the hood, and I asked the previous owner if its ever been changed, and apparently not. So wish me luck.
Also, do you guys have any information on improving idling? The car seems to idle extremely low, even worse when it’s cold start, if I put the AC on, it will instantly stall on me, when its a cold start, but it idles low that the car starts to shake, I’ll have a look at replacing the oil, the coolant was replaced recently, and the transmission fluid, if I can find it :)…
Thanks!

[quote=”Lord Ihcalam” post=37468]i dont recommend changing a higher mileaged car from standard oil to synthetic. if its always had synthetic keep putting it in, if not dont waste the money its not needed and can cause leaks from older seals. always follow the recommended viscosity ratings of your car. check the owners manual, service manual, google, or even call a dealership and ask what is recommended for your car if it says 5w30 use that dont change it.
make sure to do that with the trans too. Ask a trusted service tech if you should switch a trans to synthetic. its helped my cars but might not yours.
you can always pull the clutch and inspect it. if theres any burnt areas of the mating surfaces, replace it. most if not all clutch kits come with the clutch disk, pressure plate, pilot and throwout berings. Ive very rarely heard of standard transmissions having issues unless you thrash on them, like doing 3000rpm dumps, reverse burnouts, and power shifting.
also make sure the cable is in adjustment.[/quote]
The car manual does not state what type of oil to put in, synthetic wise, It’s always had semi-synthetic, is it worth going the extra mile and putting full synthetic in?
