Are those steering links I see in the pile? If so I would like to pick them up if any of the rod ends are still tight. I will send a PM too

I actually found "Knives Out" a couple evenings later. Still not the kind of movie I normally watch but this is a great movie and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The Coupe was the cherry on top.

I saw a movie that was available to stream on the internet. It was called "Knives and Skin". I just remembered your movie was called "Knives something". So I decided to watch it. It was a very strange movie and had no Coupe in it. Not my kind of movie. I will pay closer attention to movie...

I agree with the use of transistorized ignition system. Many years ago I had a 1973 FJ55 Landcruiser that liked to eat points. I installed an aftermarket transistor ignition system and drove it for 10 years without having to change the points again. I did periodically measure the point gap to...

I have been running Pertronix on two different cars for over ten years. I had a problem with one that was installed by the previous owner. It was good for about 4 years and the sensor burned out. That is when I learned about why they fail. Everything must be set up properly to get long life...

I know things go right over my head sometimes but would someone please explain how the differential position has anything to do with camber? Last time I looked it appears the trailing arms control camber and the drive axles flex to eliminate any angularity change from the differential. Is this...

When I bought my Coupe in 1980, it was very similar in color to that 75 CSi. It had been repainted because someone had put a long, deep key stripe in it for taking two parking spaces. I was told the shop painted it with a Chevy color. The owner of the Coupe certainly noticed the change and...

Since we are knocking off points, I don't think the rear amber turn signals are correct either. I am pretty sure my 67 2000CS had red rear turn signals. I know my 70 2800CS has the red ones.

Not one of the greatest movies of all time, but 'The Karen Carpenter Story' had one of our Coupes in it. It shows her manager driving my 2800CS into her driveway when they got their first big break. From what I was told, he owned a Coupe and they wanted to be as authentic as possible.

I had already planned to replace the seal again if I decide to replace the crush sleeve. It is inexpensive but it takes a lot of disassembly to get to it and the crush sleeve. I thought the same thing about the cooling fins. If it has them it must get pretty warm. I will continue to monitor...

I replaced the differential input shaft seal using the BMW method 'without replacing the crush sleeve'. I resolved the minor leak but am a little concerned about my work. I ended up rotating the nut about 5-10 degrees farther than the original position and still did not quite get to the...

Oh, I forgot to mention that Mike was right on about the seal. It is a 30x42x7 mm lip seal. I ordered a Timken seal.

I got the transmission out today and found the front seal wasn't leaking at all. The leak was though one of the studs on the front housing (slave guide flange). I don't know why it suddenly started leaking there. I will seal all those studs really well when I put it back together. What I did...

I will verify the dimensions when take the transmission out this weekend and check out those sources. Thanks for all the help. I will report my findings. I use both O'Reillys and Rock Auto frequently. Gary

If Mesa Performance can't come up with a seal, I will pull the transmission and carefully remove the old seal to get dimensions. He ordered it even though it is NLA. He said sometimes NLA orders show up even if it is 6 months later. I had already decided I would be using RTV in place of the...

I am looking for a transmission front seal for my manual ZF transmission (70 2800 CS). It is listed a NLA. It seems that seals are still available for the Getrag transmission but I really don't want to replace the entire transmission as a fix for a leaky seal. Does anyone have advice on...

I got it fixed and for anyone interested, that seal is still available from BMW. I got mine through Mesa Performance and it cost $25. I probably could have found it cheaper but I like to support Jim whenever I can because he is a reliable 'go to' for Coupes and is just a few blocks from me...

I will let you know what I learn.

I got the bush and pinion out. The bush has an O-ring on the outside and is wedged in there pretty good. It took a little force to get it out. Then, of course, the pinion just fell out. Dave, I think you are right about the typo. The seal inside the bush appears to be an O-ring with some...

Thanks Dave. I am getting ready to take more stuff apart to see what I am dealing with.
