    3F-E Radiator Hoses... Three??

    Coming to this thread a bit late but how were you able to change #14 without removing the AC compressor? I can't tell how having the radiator out would help either? Need some advice on reaching this hose TIA.

    Ticking noise 3fe 91 LC

    I've got the exact same situation on my '91 3FE - valves done a few months ago, EGR delete, definitely coming from engine bay, sounds like right in front of me in the driver's seat. Recently had a guy fab me an exhaust section coming off the Y pipe, re hang, remove some rattling shielding and...

The ATF they used is listed as full synthetic. I don't know...

    Transmission issues - what is normal?

    I would hope that they put the right amount of fluid in when changing my fluid/filter. I'll check tonight after work using this method. It was done at a local "general" mechanic, I would say it's between quickie lube and dealer as far as quality of work performed. They did not adjust the kick...

    Transmission issues - what is normal?

    I've read a bunch of threads but none of them seem to mention my collection of transmission "issues" - trying to determine what is normal vs what I should take it to a shop to get worked on. I have a '91 full time 4WD which I understand is the A440F auto transmission with ~247,000 miles on it...
