Clutch still works as it always has minus the noise. As for the smell, the best way I can describe it is burnt rubber. Haven't checked the belts; I'm not particularly mechanically-inclined, so I...

Car squeaking, please help

Within the last few days my '87 has developed a squeak. I've been able to narrow it down to the left side, but I'm not sure if it's a front or rear issue (or both).

I'm almost positive it's not...

Gas mileage is something like 16 city/21 highway.

I have no idea how to install a wing other than sending everything to a body shop.

MK4 tranny swap

Is it possible to swap a MK4 transmission into a MK3? If so, has anyone actually attempted this?

Anyway, it may handle well, but it has body roll like an old BMW...

Do not know if it is supposed to have lights, but I remember when I had the stock radio in it did not light up. In fact, that was one of the primary reasons I got a new head unit.

Not sure, because the first style has two independent lights, while the second style's brakelight extends across the back of the car to connect the two lights.

When accelerating under power it becomes much more difficult to shift into second, so much so that it makes a noticable difference when accelerating.
