Shifter cable clip popped off while driving from trans. Rigged some zip ties to drive home.

Shifter cables decided to break and act like pieces of sheet. Pulled cable out of car, tried a 1990 wrong size, pulled, modified original to work/rebuilt put back into car.

O2 might be dead, checked data stream and seems dead.

Checked oil, added a little.
 
Trans stuck in 3rd or 4th gear. Parked for LONG time.
Shifter cables slowly got way worse to the point I thought the trans was bad. I began pulling trans to get to the pulling axels part and then popped off the shifter cables and the trans dropped into neutral.

Axel outer boots need replaced.

Installed BC Coils, factory suspension shot to hell.

Put car back together, swapped in galant shifter cables, 99% of shifting issues went away. Car runs and drives fine.

Only Issue with car is fuel cut on WOT pulls. ABS Works! Need to thread exhaust stud.

Exhaust flex broke, cut it out and replaced with a slip on 2.5ID flex pipe from vatozone, and hose clamps.

the biss screw was plastic... plastique. how? I've never seen this before. leaked like all hell. thanks Brandon for leaving a spare tb at the house so I used the biss out of that one (metal) and double o rings (it's what I had) while changing out the biss I noticed the e clip missing on the wg. replaced that too.

runs and drives well, still some high rpm breakup.

Heat shield on exhaust 02 housing is missing it broke off, winter not the biggest issue but summer will bake my alternator again damn.
