I'm new here and really haven't found my way around good. I recently bought an 82 Spider 2000 that is going to need a lot of work. With that being said, I'm going to need to learn this vehicle because I will be doing, learning, my way through it.
I'm having a couple of issues that are predominate.
* I have a cooling issue that I believe has to do with air in the system. From what I understand this can cause the thermostat to not operate right therefore causing the overheating. How on Gods green earth do I remedy this? I've pressed on hoses till I'm blue in the face.
* 4th gear is out. If I am just sitting there, engine off and put the shifter in the 4th gear position, it goes in fine but engine on it doesn't. It will grind if you attempt to shift into 4th. No other gears do this.
This is just the start of what I hope to be a great experience but I would like to know that when I leave the house the car will make it back! LOL
Any and all help is truly appreciated.
