3.2 Idle tips
Like many of us my 86 Carrera cab was cursed with a 2000 RPM idle. After much research I decided to start by replacing the bushings on the bell-crank that bolts to the transmission (915).
First: lift the car as high as you can. This makes it easier. Second: The cotter pin is inserted from the back and is spread and bent back tight to the shaft. Get a small flat head screwdriver and pry it up to get leverage. Third: The rod going forward is a very tight fit. It is as least as tight as the gas pedal fit so be careful because, unlike the gas pedal, the level on the bell-crank will bend easily. Fourth: The other end of the bell-crank it held by two 10mm nuts. Remove it. Fifth: Once the two rods have been disconnected and the cotter pin has been removed REMOVE THE ROD from the transmission.Then clean things up, insert the bushings and reassembly.SmileWavy |

Thanks for asking. So far so good. Took it for a shot test drive, idle drops like it should and CC works. A pretty good day after all:D
