    Wheel Spacers On 2nd Gen Trans Am With Stock Or +Sized Wheels?

    So went for a subtle size (half-inch) to fill things out a little but mostly to clear an e-Brake line. But, Yes, you will need new lugs (5/8 longer) and be prepared to hammer the Hell out of the drum to get it off, otherwise piece of cake. Here's a setup comparison for those interested:

    Number Of Grease Fittings?

    Does anyone know the total number of grease fittings on the undercarriage of a 2nd Gen TA? So far, I count 7 up front (it seems that mine were painted over before my time, and my eyeballs are having to strain to find them all, lol).

    TH350 Cold Stick Level?

    Excellent, like the genius with the Mityvac! I should've gone that route, but a few years ago, I spent $70 on Amazon for this gadget (it works tremendously but is pricey).

    TH350 Cold Stick Level?

    FWIW - I recently had to service my stock TH350 and wondered if it could gauge the correct fluid levels at the cold temperature. Various other forums were typical of the mind that cold levels don't matter, only hot, but even then, there were differing methods. So I went through the motions...

    Half-Inch Play In Floor Shift Handle For 2nd Gen Auto?

    I thought I'd ask before I break something. My shift handle has about a half-inch play in every gear, and I'm not sure if I should consider adjusting the linkage at the TH350 or if I have to remove the entire center console and start finagling around on the entire floor mechanism. Or if it's...

    TH350 Shift Shaft Question

    I recently had to deal with the Shift Shaft SEAL, during which its replacement with the cheap Amazon tool failed (consistent with the 50/50 rating), and ultimately had it professionally done. However, I did notice that the shaft has about a 1/4" play (in/out), which affects shifting to Drive...
