    Exhaust question

    Found my vibration/shuddering issue

    Loose bolts from flex plate to torque converter. Someone didn’t torque down the bolts? I’d love to have a discussion with the former owner, might have to message him on FB, the original owner has passed on.

    Vacuum fiting question

    Can anyone tell me what this fitting is called, I've had shift problems and found someone put electrical tape over it with the trans vacuum line in it. I hooked up a piece of hose to it for now. I'm replacing the modulator tonight and probably should replace the fitting. Thanks
