We are gonna do a service on it: t-belt, other belts, pullies, water pump, t-belt tensioner, tranny flush.

What brand transmission fluid is best? Where is the best place to find struts?

Hi,
If the trunk doesn't open when release by driver seat is pulled, it is due to the lock switch on the latch. Open trunk with key, then flip switch on latch, then you can open with floor release lever.

Same goes with the rear seat. The interior release is under back passenger headrest. If the seat will not fold down, it is due to another lever on the seat back that can be accessed from trunk. Let me know if that helps
