i have recently invested in a 1980 280zx 10th anniversary edition. everything is perfect about the car except that it pops back in neutral if i put it in first and do not hold it. also the water light keeps lighting up and i checked the radiator and it is fine. so any help or suggestions on how to fix these problems will be appreciated.

Thanks

Jared

Sounds like the rubber boot is a little too tight. Or the Leather? boot is pulling it out of gear.

The water light could be from a short, a bad sensor or actual trouble in the cooling system. It's obviously gonna take some physical checking on your part to find out which is the colprit.

Could it be the throw out bearing? Had a Mustang with that problem a while ago. I would start with the boot though, it is the cheapest thing to look at and eliminate.

John

it is the boot thank you

glad you found it. It's the simple things that cause most problems, but it's the simple things that are easily fixed as well.
