yes it is there is a problem with the transmossion check the fluid level and if not that check the solonoid sensors on the tranny and if not these maybe the tranny may need rebuilt

are you sure its in time?

The clutch can be done by unbolting the transmission from the engine after removing the drive shafts, support mounts and linkages and then sliding the transmission to the side resting between the subframe and inner guard. There is not a great deal of room to work with but the job can be done without removing the engine.

CHECK COOLANT LEVEL.IF COOLANT LEVEL OKAY A FAULTY.THERMOSTAT COULD BE THE POSSIBLE CAUSE.

The best place to start would be the thermostat, also verify that the cooling fan is coming on in a timely manner.

hmmm maybe a bad compressor bearly giving what it has left till it dies? if your getting cold air then there is not freon leak i would think. its gonna cost you. you gotta take it in to some pros. ac stuff is never simple unless its low on freon. are you hearing a loud scratchy sound while its on coming from the compressor?

ok there are a few things you need to check.. you said you changed the master cylinder.. did you bleed the braking system after???

• remove from wheel,,
• locate bleed valve on caliper / or unscrew one of the lines
• pump brake and push right down and hole,,
  
• repeat plugging the lines with your finger ,,
• repeat the above 2 steps a few times
• tighten the bleed screw while holding the brake right down..

if that fails ...

if that fails try adjusting the brake up.. its on the rear tires,, remove one and them remove the shield protecting the brake shoe,, see the turn bolt that adjust the pistons,, adjust that a bit until the brake is in the desired position..

check your disc pads to see if its wron out..

check your booster / change it..

hi put the #1 piston up with the camshaft lobe up so the valve will seal the compression in the chamber

this is a good one but if you go to napa they have manuals to identify the correct size freeze plugs if your not sure you will have to remove the old one and use a micrometer to measure the size hole

vacuum leak will cause a miss at idle, check all vacuum hoses and lines to see which one and have it repair

The linkage is basically a large rod that runs from the shifter to the trans with a bolt at each end like a universal pivot. They ususally get sloppy because the bushings wear out. But that would not make it where it would be stuck in gear. If you cant get it out of gear the trans may need to come apart.

The firing order is 1 3 4 2. Its hard to cross them because they are different lengths.

the rear caliper have allenkey screw..first open the cover scew that cover the allenkey. and than turn the allenkey srew to move the piston..
after piston coming out, the are clip to remove the piston holder..
than remove all the part and cleaned..after that install new oil seal for hand brake lavel.. mostly the leaking come from oil seal hand barake lavel.

Does it Try to Crank over or does it just click?

If it just clicks, your starter might be done with, the brushes wear down and need to be replaced, if you can find someone to rebuild your starter, or you can buy a new one/refurbished one and have it installed.

If it trys to crank over then it could be many other problems such as the distributor might be out of timing, Spark plugs might have been worn down, Air intake might be clogged, Fuel pump might have given out, or fuel filter might be clogged.

turn signal/high beam switch is bad

Not sure if you checked or not, but did you check the switch itself? Even though the wipers work with the switch, it can still be bad. If this helps let me know, if not I'll be here for you until it works! Take care and best wishes to you.

Even though your headlights work, your switch can still be bad. Let me know if this fixes you up! Take care and best wishes to you.

Does it have a dust cap in the center? If so, pry it off and remove the nut. It also might have a reverse thread (check). If it doesn't have the cap, then you might have to cut the drum in half. But I am almost positive that it does have the metal dust cap in the center of the hub/drum. I sincerely hope that this helped you. Let me know how things went. I'll still be here if you need me.

Fuse panel is either under the dash in the driver side footwell, or in the glove box.

sounds like a fuse issue to me

It sounds like your master cylinder is in need of replacement or rebuild. Unless you have an air bubble in the line somewhere (bleeding should have fixed that), you have a worn master cylinder that is cracked weak. There are various rebuild kits on the market with instructions.
