Re: Overdrive question 200 1983

I presume you are talking about the auto trans. This is a 3 speed auto

with OD like you said. So, driving in third isn't going to hurt the trans

but the engine will rev much higher and your mileage will be much lower.

Since its a new car to you I recommend you perform a full service to the

car which includes all fluids and filters to start things off with a known

maintenence point.

The front shocks are strut inserts and if you don't do your own the labor it will cost you. The rear are standard telescoping shocks. You can get a

replacement set of shocks like the Boge Turbo Gas model for around $200

for all four.
