Hey guys. So if you have been following my project thread you know the just of what I have been doing to my car. Last week I got some great advice from craby and 69 that helped me finish all my plans last weekend. So I am at it again for this weekend's project. My new seats come tomorrow and I will be installing those. In addition to that I would like to service my transmission (T56) and repair my door skin. What fluid should I be using (ie brand and where to get I know what type to use) Anything else I should be doing to it while I am at it? I think I am going to go to the local carquest and pick up some of that 3m panel bond and do my door skin. Ive seen plenty of threads on this but no one specifies the type of clamp to use??? Also when I washed the car last week i noticed that water was coming in and leaking down right on top of where the speaker would go, I would like to address this problem as well. Where should I start?

 

dex3 is what most guys use.
i used the spring loaded hand clamps and a small pair of vice grips at the top after where it curves over,,, hay its what i had. used cardboard between vice grips and door to protect it and did not clamp very hard. put the clamps on it from bottom to top.

 

If the car is parked next to anything solid (a wall or something), you can block and wedge boards between that and the door skin.
Put a towel on the door to protect the paint, a board going across the door for support, then wedge the other boards to the wall.
Don't forget you're dealing with plastic, so don't go animal with the pressure.
I've used that technique when sistering a frame rail repair piece for welding.

 

Good advice guys. On the trans its drain from the bottom and the fill through the shifter right? Any ideas on my water intrusion problem?
