Hi guys !!
Some new of my car :
I finally received the starter and now it drives well again!! I need to find the exact front bumper for oldsmobile cutlass supreme 1980 with the turn signals in it because mine is a 1979 with no signals!!
Here is a video :
I have 2 questions :
- my right hand shift selector is harder than before. I have to push up hard tu put in "parking". My trans fluid level is good. Should I worry about it ?
- the car drives well, but the other day I was going to a friends house 500 meters uphill. And I had loss of power when I was driving uphill, like when I have almost no gas left in tank. The car even stalled when the road was really steep. I checked and my tank was 3/4 full. As soon as I was driving back on a flat road it drove well again and then I was able to do 100 flat kilometers back home. The car didn't heat up too much.
What could it be ? I Tried washing the fuel filter but it seemed ok...
Thanks!
Mickey

Glad you're back on the road, Mickey!
On your shift issue: there's a bushing on the crossbar that goes between the transmission and frame that wears out. You can order new plastic ones or get creative with an open end conical lugnut. If the bushing checks out, take a look at the shift linkage. It may need an adjustment.

It is probably the fuel pump failing, heat will show its weakness under load.
