... Ok, so for the record- if anyone wants to disable the annoying high-pitched sound in their car- open up the black CPU box by the fuse box under the drivers' side and unsolder the two nibs that hold in place a small black cylinder. That is the noise-maker. The copper-bound rolls that are also...

No problem. I'll just try to solder some wires in there to make it THINK it has buzzers. hopefully it works too.

That DOES sound cool, although I actually mean the black box cpu that just controls the hazard warnings and signal lights on the left of driverside under the dash. ... right next to the fuse box.

Chime caught on video Ok, while enjoying a weekend mountain retreat I was finally able to capture the problem in action, viewable here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LgCBaTiGgw AND here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LgCBaTiGgw The source of the SOUND, if not the problem, is definitely...

Thanks, I'll try that and I'll get back to you if I need the computer.

Video Link ...Ok. Unsurprisingly, my car was not cooperative. It pretended to run all normal when I went outside and started videotaping it. I'll see if I can catch it later... Here's the footage anyway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIcfEFh41T0 ...in Retrospect I should've went...

Ok so I checked the oil and it's still completely full. The coolant is also full and the mechanic reported the coolant system was functioning fine. Now- there's no aftermarket ECU on it I know of... by tuning I think they meant adjusted the timing and idle mixture after they had pulled...

I've checked the coolant before- and it even has a new water pump. I thought of the over-rev buzzer but that's a much different sound than this. I have the shop do the tuning... It occurs to me I haven't checked the oil That recently- so I'll do that and get back to you, although I think it...

Really not having much luck finding anything related to this specific issue- so if this has been addressed before, please direct me to the appropriate link. I have an 88 FC turbo that I've recently had tuned at the shop after getting it a new starter. It had been running really rich and...

I think about 3 years ago, though the car has mostly been sitting during that time. Ok- Thanks, I'd like that link.

Well, in my mind there's the work of taking it out and putting it back in vs taking it out- mangling it up looking for something, putting it back together and Then putting it back in... because I have no experience with transmissions, mechanically speaking. and.. from what I gather it's about...

Ok. Does anyone know what generally causes these trans to grind from 4th to 5th gear over time? One mechanic told me it was probably a worn synchro. In wich case... is it better to swap or rebuild?

How difficult would it be to fit? Is it doable? My TII has grinding from 4th to 5th gear... seems like it'd be a pain to rebuild the tranny trying to fix it- easier to replace... so- why not upgrade. Any suggestions?
