Thanks for this!

Gotcha, going to give sealing it from the outside a shot first - hopefully that will work

The o-ring should be easy to find, but the seal is custom molded though, isn't it?

Hi guys, I need to replace a front wheel bearing and everywhere I look, I am seeing that wheel bearings labeled "A-2" & "A-6" fit the car. How do two different types of wheel bearings fit the front hubs? Any ideas? -chase

Where did you get all your seals? I was having difficulty finding some (the shifter seal you mentioned for example since it rarely fails). EDIT: Also, I was planning on greasing the hell out of whatever I put in there so that its wear is minimal which I feel should help. Grannyknot - if I can get some sort of VERY stretch o-ring to get on there, would that be better or is there a reason something absorbent like felt or kitchen cord be better?

That's awesome, I will definitely give this method a shot, thanks!

Would slipping some o-rings around the gearshift and into that channel be doable? Basically I'm thinking that if I get one in there pressed onto the joint, the gear oil is thick enough that it might not seem through. Outside of needing to change it fairly often (even if i grease the area a fair bit) would that hold the leak?

Hi guys, My transmission is leaking from the joint where the shifter cylinder attaches to the transmission. The transmission is on the car and the attached picture I just got off the net to illustrate where the leak is coming from. Is there any way to stop this leak from the outside without removing the transmission and disassembling it? I checked and the transmission is not overfilled. I know this is an odd area for it to leak but somehow it's happening... any ideas? -chase

Good to know it's replaceable and you have the parts. Been considering an 82 or 83 ZX but really like the look over the 79-81. If it ends up happening, I will PM you!

Question for you guys - is it possible to swap the B-Pillar door trim (is that the right part name?) from the black plastic 1983 ZX to the chrome trim from the 1979 ZX? The attached picture should clarify what I'm curious about. Any ideas? chase

I popped the distributor cap off and tried to pull and push things but nothing moved so we are thinking those pieces are rusted shut. Also, my vacuum pod diaphragm has a hole in it which is why even if my pieces were not frozen shut, I wouldn't be receiving advance.

If I am unable to get the advance to work, should the timing at something above 10 degrees (its sitting at 10 now)?

understood - thanks guys

I thought it was only the early 240s that didn't have that headlight relay; 280s are also missing it? Unrelated - what if I were to get an h4 housing but use h4 connector led bulbs like this - https://www.amazon.com/ICBEAMER-Canbus-Headlight-Replace-Halogen/dp/B07HCTQJMV/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=led+bulb+h4&qid=1551296553&s=automotive&sr=1-7 ?

gotcha from what ive gathered so far, this seems to be more than just pop in some led bulbs. are there any other bulbs you would recommend I use to get more light instead of leds that are a bit more noobie friendly?

Sounds good, thanks

Sorry, I didn't see that. I'll pick some up now, thanks!

Gotcha, maybe it was just the one I got. I'll give a different brand a shot, thanks!

I tried to put some H4s in there a while back and since they weren't sealed beam and were a bit longer in the back (where the bulb plugged in) I couldn't screw the splash-guard (not sure if that is the correct term for the dome in the back of the bulb that keeps the water from the wheel well out) back into the fender. I've seen posts on here of people who had to lengthen that so that LED bulbs would fit. Are there bulbs now that fit without having to do that modification?

Question for you guys. Are there any LED headlights that simply bolt into the standard housing without having to modify/lengthen what the car comes with? -chase

Thanks for all the information guys! Won't taking the distributor apart really mess with the timing of the engine/create big problems if I do/reinstall something wrong?

So I just popped the cap off the dizzy, here in here am i supposed to wiggle my finger to test movement?

Awesome, thanks!

Mine doesn't have that. So this vacuum pod won't work for me then?

Gah, is there a way to check to see if the PO put a zx dizzy in here by chance?
