Re: Type of differential fluid to use in a 91 svx

It's just been such a laundry list of issues that I don't think I'm ready to tackle just yet. I was willing to keep it to work on it over time because I do really like it. But my co-worker offered me...

Re: Gauge cluster problems. Tachometer far below.

If I had to choose one of your suggestions I would say it's the gauges dying. Stock trans. Was rebuilt 15k ago. Tires, I don't think they're different sizes from stock. They've been on since I've had...

Gauge cluster problems. Tachometer far below.

I have a 92 svx with around 80k on it. Tachometer is definitely broken. When the car is first turned on it hovers just above 0. Definitly not the rpm the car is audibly doing. When the idle is down...

Re: Dancing speedo

I have a semi similar issue. My rev counter seems way too low, sometimes when the car is idling it's nearly at zero, just one notch above it. And when I am giving it gas it just doesn't sound like...

Re: Engine knocks after starting, thoughts?

Okay thanks Tom. I always let the car warm up and let the idle lower before I drive it and I won't accelerate hard until the car is up in the operating temperature range.

Re: Engine knocks after starting, thoughts?

Thank you for the advice. I already went out and bought a bottle of seafoam. The last oil changed was supposedly done right before I bought the car, but I didn't trust it, and sure enough when I...

Re: Engine knocks after starting, thoughts?

Oil just changed. Almost a thousand miles ago. Plan on changing it every 3 thousand. I've used Lucas oil fuel injector cleaner. I will try seafoam, can't hurt. I also have Lucasoil oil stabilizer....

Re: Engine knocks after starting, thoughts?

Piston slap. Sounds viable. It only has 77k on it so I can't imagine what has happened to it that would have created that issue. Could it have been caused by not running the right octane fuel?...

Re: Engine knocks after starting, thoughts?

Possibly but wouldn't that be consistent? It only knocks when it's cold and it goes away in a bout minutes. I feel like if the timing belt tensioner was off, it would be knocking constantly

Engine knocks after starting, thoughts?

It's chris here again with my many questions about my SVX. So I've noticed that when I start my car in the morning, it's smooth at first and then about 10 seconds in, it starts to knock. I can hear a...

Re: Old car smell

Re: 92 SVX sway bar and tie rods

Correct me if I'm wrong but I was was referring to the 4.44 manual swap. I think it's a legacy transmission? There's is a forum member known as budfreak who sells them? I think he's on the other site...

Re: 92 SVX sway bar and tie rods

Re: 92 SVX sway bar and tie rods

Yeah I figured that would be the case but it's quite ambiguous at times which parts are for the front or the rear. I see two sets of the bushings on Amazon that Fly recommended. They're listed as...

Re: 92 SVX sway bar and tie rods

Awesome! I'm definitely grabbing that swaybar set. This may be a silly question but does the rear also get a set of of links and bushings? If so, would I order the same set for the rear? I can get a...

Re: Smoke from engine compartment. Please help.

Is it normal that the whole car vibrates when it's in drive or reverse? The only other car I've seen do this is my girlfriends old geo prism that had over 200k on it haha
