I'm in the final stages of restoring my '92 Talon TSi AWD manual after it sat for around 6 years and have a few remaining questions.
1 - I'm replacing the cruddy old shift cable end bushings with these, do I need to reuse the old washers or something. Other versions come with e-rings but these do not:
2 - When I replaced the oil & filter a few hundred miles ago I put in cheap synth Walmart 10W-30, a few ounces of Seafoam and Mystery Oil, and a new Mitsu filter, with the intention of dumping the oil & additives after a few hundred miles to flush out the old oil and gunk. I just dumped this oil and removed the oil pan and gave it a thorough cleaning & derusted and painted the exterior. After I apply new RTV and reinstall the pan, should I put in another batch of cheap synth oil and some additive and run the car for a few hundred more miles, then dump it again and only then put in high quality oil (in my case Mobil 1 Extended)? If so, can I reuse the Mitsu filter (after dumping the old oil in it), or should I put in a new filter, and if so is any cheap one OK since it'll only be a few hundred miles?
3 - Tim said to put green Loctite 290 threadlock on the 3 trans poppet bolts. Why green and not blue, and is green Permatex 29000 ok to use instead?
4 - I'm replacing the short clutch line and hose that connect to the SC, as well as the 8 brake hoses, with SS braided line from JNZ. When bleeding, is it ok to use brake fluid from a bottle that was first opened back in mid-December with only a few ounces used and then tightly sealed and stored outside since then, or should I use all-new fluid?
5 - There's still a bit of play in the select lever on the trans. I replaced the 2 bronze bushings and shoe but it still wobbles a bit. Is this ok or is there a way to remove the slop, say by replacing the washer closest to the bushing, which perhaps wore down?
