All, I've got a transmission from a Riviera T-type available from my '85 Toronado: From a 1985 (I believe) Buick Riviera T-Type (*will not ship*, rebuildable core) Lost every gear but 1st and reverse with no warning. Could be a governor failure as I lost the speedometer input at the same...

I know the '83 and earlier and '84 and later use different bumper fillers, and that they are different around the grille area. Will an '84 grille AND '84 bumper filler fit on an '83, or do I have to change the whole header panel?

Hi all, I'm working on fixing up my '83 Regal T-type. My next job was going to be to replace the trunk torsion bars (the trunk doesn't stay up). I have one of the original bars, and I pulled a set off an '84 4 door Cutlass that I junked, but they don't fit. The "U" end of the bar isn't wide...

I do believe my 180,000 mile 325-4L just kicked the bucket on me. 2nd is slipping terribly and it's flaring on the 2->3 shift. I've got a Turbo Riviera transmission lying around that I'd like to have rebuilt to replace it. Does anyone know of a decent transmission shop in the Western PA...

I'm looking for a good/used D5. I need it to be in VA (zip 20112) by Friday afternoon (10/21/05). Can pay via credit card or paypal. Anyone got one?

Well, my 3.8L Cutlass has pissed me off for the last time. It was on its way to the junkyard anyway, but it just decided to rust the fuel line out, so it's outta here. Figured I'd post it up here in case anyone wants the Buick V6 parts! Specs: * 1984 4-dr Cutlass, tan exterior, brown...

I've finally gotten the 200-4R in my Olds pretty well situated. It shifts more or less when it's supposed to (maybe a little high at part throttle, but tolerable). I've only really got one problem left. The transmission will NEVER downshift into 1st if you floor it. When floored, it'll...

Hey all, Just put a "used" LG4 Monte Carlo trans behind my 84 carbed (4bbl) 3.8L Olds cutlass. At WOT the thing shifts pretty darn good, 1-2 is enough to chirp the (admittedly crappy) tires a little, 2-3 is firm and quick but no tire chirp. I verified the valve body is matched to the trans...

Anything I can do with this valve body or is it junk? It's sitting behind my '72 buick 455 in my '83 regal... stock 3.42 rear gear ratio. The trans is totally fragged, I've never seen that much clutch material in a pan in my life... just wondering if the valve body can be modified or if I'm...

I'm not going to bother putting a price on most of this junk--no reasonable offer refused! I want it gone--either sold or in the garbage. Pictures of any part are available upon request. Parts are organized by what car they came off of (if I know), miscellaneous parts are at the end. Shipping...

This is for my '83 Regal T-type... stock (supposedly rebuilt) original transmission, stock converter. Sitting behind a cammed '72 455 Buick V8. I just got the engine running a few weeks ago, and I've noticed that the car no longer moves at all in any forward gear (D,3,2,1). I've inspected the...

Hey, My 325-4L transmission in my Toronado is leaking pretty badly at the TV cable. I've tried two "used" seals from transmissions in my garage and have gotten nowhere. I can't find ANYWHERE around here that even knows what I'm talking about, much less a place to buy one. I'm pretty sure...

Well, it looks like the trans in my 84 Toronado is toast. I guess the mighty 307 was just too much for it. No downshift to manual 1st and no reverse. Saw way too much clutch material in the pan for having changed the fluid recently too. I'm guessing this means the Lo/Reverse clutch pack has gone...

Anyone out there have an 83 service manual that can tell me what the ECM pinout is on an 83 T-type? The only pinout I have anywhere is a N/A 85 V6...

So far I've pulled off and set aside the upper intake (with turbo attached) and the lower intake. I plan on trying to get the crank out but I'm doubtful about its condition. I think the motor might have spun a bearing. I don't want to toss anything out that someone on the board might be able...

Looking at the rear under this car, it's definitely a 7.5" axle (compared to my other 8.5" axles). What ratio is it? Is it 3.42 like the later cars?

I've spent the past couple weeks tuning my '84 Olds's 231, after converting to an older M4M carb and vacuum advance distributor. I thought I'd post my findings and final configuration to help anyone else doing this. I'm not saying this is the best settings, just what I finally ended up with. I...

Anyone on here running a older distributor with the centrifugal advance on a N/A 3.8L? I'm wondering what you've got the base timing set to and what springs you're using. I'm running 16* Base and one medium and one light spring. It runs good but I'm encountering some very light pinging when...

I apologize in advance for the length on this post. :) A little while back, I bought an 85 442 with the original engine and trans, with 90k on the clock. When I bought it, the 1-2 shift hung slightly at WOT but was fine at part throttle. By the time I got it home, the 1-2 shift was pretty...

Anyone have the GM P/N for this gear? I also need a new driven gear housing (mine was frozen to the case and I damaged it when I removed it)... anyone got the P/N for that?
