highway cruising RPM is right where it's supposed to be. close to 80mph you should be seeing around 3k or so. it does sound like the bowden cable could be sticking and not going back into position when you release the accelerator. could be a lot of things really. :\
A lot of people have looked in this car and have said that it looks remarkably well Giving it's age, I would like to think that this car was well loved through it's life. it certainly is well loved here. I don't know if the Trans is original or not. I cant tell if it was rebuilt, I didn't get the chance to look at it properly. but I have heard about the bowden cable before reading on threads here. Where would it be on my car and can I check it without using a lift... or should I just look into getting it rebuilt?
