All 35 psi. My uncle was the original owner so I doubt the steering box was upgraded

Had an alignment done a couple months ago when I put my new tires on it

My 88 is bone stock 2wd no lift and is riding on 235/75r 15s. My steeringis extremely sensitive. The is almost no play but it is so "touchy" that it is kinda scary on the highway to drive. This is my dd and I'm on the interstate quite abit. Anyone ever had this issue and know how to fix it?

i went to home depot and got a piece of plexi glass cut it to the right measurement and glued my latch on it and you can't tell the difference. its a good temporary fix

Is it a different clutch kit for an internal slave cylinder than external?

Well ive bled it according to the book, removing the slave and keeping it pushed in while bleeding it. I feel like I'm stepping on a brick wall and the clutch still doesnt disengage...what am I missing? Could be the pressure plate or wrong clutch kit? I'm at a loss.

How did you pressure bleed it?

out the trans back in the 86. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will all work when I bleed the clutch tomorrow. Next thing to do will be the brakes so I can drive it around a bit before I decide to either part it or sell it or keep it. Paint on the beast has been put on the backburmer for now amd I put the dog house together and put the fog lights on it. Will post those pictures soon.

Is there supposed to be a keeper on this clutch fork?

The clutch won't disengage if its installed backwards will it?

is it possible that it has the wrong clutch kit? the guy before me put it in, and the guy before him bought the kit. i have the part number of the kit that is in the truck but i can't find any info on it online. tredex automotive am-020 is the clutch that is in it.

well don't i feel stupid. it helps to have the remote wire attached. must have knocked it off when i put the battery back in.

Thats where it is with my 88. I think my pedal is bent...my clutch it half the height of my brake pedal

I know I got the fork on the pins. Just out of curiosity. How high is the clutch pedal supposed to be?

The switch isn't even touching the pedal. I used to be able to start it in gear. Never had to step on the clutch before. Now it start no no matter what I do

It starts one minute then the next I went to start it again and I don't even here a click. I know the battery has a charge and all my lights and gauges come on so idk what the deal is

I bought an 86 xls, 2.5 5 speed 4x4, with an external slave cylinder it supposedly had a new clutch kit in it when I bought it but the clutch didn't disengage when you stepped on the pedal. I pulled the trans out checked everything out made sure the fork was on right, I put on a new slave and master cylinder bled the clutch and the clutch pedal feels like I have no resistance. Can't test it to see if it works because now the truck doesn't start but does anyone have and advice with the clutch?

I've got an 86 xls, 2.5 4cyl, 5 speed 4x4. I was doing some clutch work and started the truck to test it. I shut it off and a little while later I went to start it, turn the key and I have gauges and lights but the motor doesn't turn over, no click nothing. I know the battery is charged so idk what's wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated

Well I've replaced all the bulbs and for some reason my parking lights don't come on. If I pull the bulb out of the lenses it is extremely dim. Turn signals and flashers are fine its just the parking lights. Any ideas?

Started taking the dog house of the beast to get it ready for paint.

i havent decided if i should paint me steel ones gloss black or take the ones off the 86.

got some lights Got them on the roll bar, got the roll bar mounted and all the wiring hooked up THE BEAST HAS BEEN AWAKENED!!!!

well pulled the trans out of the 86 today, looks like either the fork shifted when the PO put the trans in or he put the fork in backwards. How is the fork actually supposed to go in? is there a retainer clip or something that is supposed to hold it in place? id like to get it ready to put back together tomorrow so i can test the t-case and trans. After all that i had to give the beast some attention. I painted the grill with bedliner by mistake instead of flat black earlier this week and liked it so must i painted the headlight trim and louvers with bedliner too. Mounted my roll bar a couple days ago and got my lights on it. got another set for the front bumper after it gets the bedliner. hopefully that will get done tomorrow and paint my hitch. Put new bulbs in my parking lights so hopefully they will work now and put new sockets in for my headlights so my high beams work now. The next thing will be painting the center console out of the 86 and figure out what to do about the bucket seats since they are red and my 88s interior is gray. Is it hard to swap in a tilt column and change the ignition tumbler and steering wheel?

Idk about the red car. The 1st 3 pictures were from the craigslist add

Guess its something to look into and if your talking about the white car its an 88,Pontiac fiero gt
