I use syntheric ATF in the transmission. tried to use synthetic 80w 90, and was too thick. thought with over 300K it would help with all the miles. now with the ATF it shifts smooth. do have a little grind when up shifting into 2nd. might be worn synchros. but if I go easy, it goes in pretty smooth.

John mentioned if you have the plastic coated wheel cover clips or steel. the plastic ones are if you have the light allow wheels. if you have the broken silver stripe around the center of the wheel, then it is the Light Alloy, or aluminum. the plastic keeps the clip from digging in, and gouging the aluminum.

Nice looking car, like the color. looks like the headlight door is broken. new those are pricy, sometimes can find decent ones in the yards.
