1993 100 V6 2.8 automatic - few issues

[Ryan Hoitink]

1. Those compression readings seem a tad high.. maybe more like 130-140.

2. The 2-3 shift quite often seems to be the first shift to start going bad
when the transmission is beginning to fail.  Not saying that yours is, but
it's been my experience.

3.  Vagueness in the steering?  Get used to it.  Or disable the servotronic.
Alignment may help a little, but, in my opinion, these cars all are a little
short on steering feel.  I can't imagine how the car would feel nose heavy,
though, the front end of these cars is actually fairly light.
