Garage
Winter Maintenance and Repairs

Finally got the car into the shop for the annual maintenance and a few small repairs.

Oil and filter change
Trans oil change - found a metal chunk attached to the magnet so rebuild time coming very soon. Will this be before or after driving to Rennsport???
Lubed distributor shaft and replaced distributor cap and rotor. The shaft has a very slight wobble so it tends to beat up caps and rotors each year. Some day I will drop the $ for machining a new bearing surface. Until then............
Replaced rear brake flex lines and flushed the brake fluid
Adjusted front wheel bearings.
Replaced headlight gasket and adjusted headlight aim down a little.
New rear tires.
Swapped TBar keys side for side. Been chasing a front end clunk for a couple years. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/813002-front-suspension-clunk.html Narrowed down to the keys last Summer. With car jacked up the keys are sloppy on the ends of the TBars. Swapped and they are tighter on the TBars. Will find out if this resolves the clunking.
New antenna.
New front lid strut. LOL.....works like Viagra - it stays up now!!
Pulled speedo to fix odometer and see why it is slow to register speed when it is cold.
Repainting steering wheel spokes - chip in paint.

Rosie will be ready for another driving season. Yahoo!!!
