MAINTENANCE
During September, the speedometer cable started whining above 20 MPH; i.e., every time the car accelerated from idle. Of course, a trip to Jim's Fine Car Service took care of the problem. While there we fixed several additional problems.
1. Speedometer removal and repair
2. Driver door - replace check strap and door handle
3. Replace burned circuit board on secondary gauge cluster - idiot lights work now!
4. Replace single hole passenger washer nozzle with dual hole model - nice update
5. Replace shift bushing - no more buzzing from the shifter
6. Replace idle cable - now the idle can be adjusted in the cabin - manual control is great
I noticed that Mickey gave me over a 10% discount on both parts and labor again - thanks, Mickey!
