[DML] Re: 5 speed questions

["Joe OBrien" <joeyoseppijoe@xxxxxxxxx>]

You might want to change you manual tranny oil if it is still the 
original. And driving it more would help, any car with that low of 
miles will give you issues like that, both of my cars are real low 
mileage cars, and I have had to just drive them to get all 
the "bugs" worked over. Even though all major systems have been 
replaced, it still needs driven to make it more reliable. The more I 
drive them, the better they perform. So best advice is to start 
driving it, I was keeping my cars ridiculously clean, and low 
mileage, then last year I realized, I can't eat my car to live, & I 
can't take it with me if I die, so I might as well start enjoying 
them. It has been the best decision I have made. My 83 now has 3,000 
miles on it, and I just turned 10,000 on my 81. Almost have all the 
bugs worked out, and they just about run perfect now. I still keep 
them crazily clean & perfect, just now I'm not so afraid to actually 
drive them, and they run so much better with use. As of all the cars 
I have owned, these cars suffer from "underuse" more easily than 
others.

Guess I'm just saying driving it is the best way to make it work 
better in all areas. I remember when you got your car with like 93 
miles on it, since your only at 300, keep on driving it. Let us know 
how it is running once you pass the 1,500 mile mark, bet you'll 
notice a huge difference.


Later, Have fun driving, you only live once!
