1985 5KS Transmission Conversion [update]
Hello all,
I finally have my car's interior put back together from the auto to manual
tranny. Had a problem with the mounting bracket for the boot, but was able
to convert the plastic from the automatic shift lever to accommodate the
boot. I also replaced the cloth door panels with leather ones from an 86
5Ktq(cs?)... dresses up the car extremely well... Can't get the cruise
control to work, but I think it is a lost cause... too many rubber air hoses
to replace (control unit was replaced - no dice)....
Also think I discovered the window problem... I believe the plug on the
front, right door was disturbed when I removed the plastic to get to the
tranny tunnel.... When it was put back together, I think I may have shorted
the wires in the plug, but it was extremely intermittent...
Again, Thanks to everyone for their help... all I have left to do is
fix/repair/replace the roof liner, repair the sunroof, and acquire some grey
leather seats...
Later all,
Arden
