So, does anyone happen to have a spare fuel-filler? Mine is totally shot and the inlet is rusty and corroded to hell and back. Which is probably making it difficult to find a cap that fits anyway.

...

Where did you buy them from?

One from Amazon, two from O'Riley's and one from Stockwise auto

Have this one FS. It may have been off my 82 924 parts car .

My 1979 uses the old-style big caps without the little door. I don't think this one would fit.

Where the heck can I find a gas cap for a 1979 924 NA?? I cannot find one anywhere. I've bought (and returned) 4 different caps and none of them fit.

According to the

I also have a 1979 and it's currently running extremely rich. I thought I timed it correctly but if the correct timing is indeed 3° ATDC, I have it waaay off.

I've never heard ...

Are the images still available somewhere? If you have them on your computer could you reupload them, even without a context? I'd be interested to take a look. Imgur seems to keep the uploaded pictures ...

So is the clutch cable adjusted to spec?

Unsure - haven't checked.

I do know that the shift bushing/coupling was replaced and is installed correctly and I replaced the gear oil with Sta-Lube GL5 ...

I've never put it in first any other time...

Ah, ok fair enough. I occasionally shift my cars into 1st when I'm coasting < 5 mph to a stop sign or light.

Brian, if the grinding is an issue only when selecting second gear, the problem is almost certainly due to a severely worn synchro for that gear.

Let me know if you need help with a rebuild.

Update: Went for a drive. I press the clutch to the floor and if I'm careful, I can shift from 1st to 2nd without grinding. However, shifting from 2nd to 1st is impossible without grinding, even at st ...

+1 to above. Shift extra deliberately, making sure you aren't getting a piece of reverse on your way to second.

Also, what is the condition of the clutch pedal mechanism and clutch hydraulics? Are ...

It's a 1979 snailshell with < 70k miles on it. Just replaced the shift coupling and put new trans oil in it. Took it for a drive around the block and 2nd gear grinds like nobody's business. I found ...

Basically, the shifter feels like I'm stiring a pot of stew. There's no real discernible difference between gears, and getting into reverse requires banging the shifter against the side and pushing up ...

I was replying to the OP, didn't see the linkage reference. The only way to service the entire linkage (which includes the ball cup socket on the guide tube) is to drop the entire trans, in which case ...

Yup, drop the side mounts and either raise or lower the transaxle to get access.

Its irritating, but such is life. At least one has to do it rather infrequently.

While you're in there, double c ...
