Yeah, I like to research just about everything that costs money before I jump on it, lol.
Got all the window motor/regs replaced. They seem pretty gutless and slow... but at least they stay up on their own now!
I went ahead and installed the new thermostat, because inside the radiator looked fairly decent, I'll probably flush it sometime later, like when I decide to do the elbows, just for kicks. I ran the car for a while with the bleeder open to vent the air, but never saw coolant come out... so I'll have to drive it a little harder another day and check it then.
I can see the argument for throwing seafoam in the oil, for a short run, run-throughs I've read say no more than 250 miles, and then changing the oil. So, seeing as how I just put a bunch of brand new syn oil in this...I'll wait till it's due again before I think about doing that seafoam procedure.
I'll probably also wait on the shift kit/filter change until I go down to my dads shop so I can do it on a hoist instead of on the floor. I've looked around a little for a write up on doing this full kit(including the side cover part) but I can't seem to find one... I've found a couple links to supposed how-to's, but they have both been dead links... I'd assume that the side cover portion requires removing the pass side strut, cv axle, and probably more to get to without removing the trans.... Is it worth it? Necessary? Anyone happen to have a working link to an existing write-up by chance?
Another thought... I haven't searched for this yet, but when I start the car, it surges forward a little... Potential trans issue? Something the shift kit will fix maybe?
