Is there anyway someone can explain that a little better in plainer english, i don't mean to sound so much like a newbie but granted this car is almost 5 years older then me. So I'm used to working on EFI vehicles. Sometimes simpler is harder.   :-\

Im just pretty much confused about steps 2 7 and 8. Once someone explains I'm going to most likely hit my self in the head because everything has been so easy on this car.
I wanna try this and adjust the bands this week.


Also where can I get replacement springs for the throttle linkage, mine are pretty stretched after so many years of using them. I checked websites, but I can not seem to find what they are listed under.

The service manuals back then need way more pictures like the new ones have  >:(


Also why every website ive seen that has rebuilt tannys its all the a904 and it all says RWD?


Any help would be great! thanks

thank you so much!!! these old service manuals confused me. I understand that!!!


I most likely will have to just buy a spring kit right and match it up ? since these springs are shot.

I've always scrounged one. They aren't terribly stiff but I've seen a few rusted incredibly thin and weak.
