Well the other day, I was driving and the shifter broke... about 3 inches from the housing... shifted with a stub for a few days, then I heard a rattle in the tranny/clutch...
With the right tools... a motor comes out quick. The 1.1 liter is tiny... the 4 speed transmission is as well.
I am looking to do a complete rebuild on the Tranny, replacing the clutch while I'm at it.
The list inclueds:
a. tranny rebuild kit (gaskets... possibly gears)
b. clutch cable
c. clutch and any other items available to replace while im in there... like throwout bearing etc.
d. oil pan gasket
e. valve cover gasket
f. front tie rod bushings and all rubber in between.
g. keg of guiness.
h. shifter
i. speedo cable
j. gas guage... float
This will put my opel pretty close to perfect... while i have the engine out I will paint the engine bay... so she is going to get a face lift... might also do some minor body work, spray 6 coats and 2 coats of clear.
I am by trade a landcrusier freek and spend lots of time on the related forums, and can tell you almost anything about them... when it comes to opels... well... I love the car... enought to rebuild all this jazz... its a great car. www.fjtoys.com/opel
Can anyone point me to sources with parts for these tasks?
Gracias
