Porsche 911 G50 Transmission Bushing Replacement
Today I replaced my transimission shift control bushings on my 1987 Porsche 911 using a kit made by J West Engineering
www.jwestengineering.com/G50-Bushing-Kit_p_26.html
This took me about 1.5 hours after doing a lot of research on different forums. J West even provided very helpful color instructions with the kit.
I highly recommend this very cheap job ($36) on any old 911. Your shifts will be tighter and buttery smooth in no time.

Will A New Carb Get My CJ7 Running?

Long overdue my CJ7 needs a new carburetor...badly. While we're out it let's address the valve cover and gasket that I've already changed and simplify the vacuum system. Will it run?

When you own four cars well over 100k miles each including two daily drivers you become a slave to them. Fortunately most of today's videos are quick fixes and the 911 is the best running of the bunch.

    Poor entitled dude, Noone should have to hold your hand and tell you what everywhere person knows, $1200 won't get you a paint job starting at bare metal and $1200 won't get your car in an oven to cure the paint and then get it cut and buff. We have a saying in TEXAS " God bless his little heart." LOL

    That part you showed was not from a 1999 mercedes e55. They gave you a part from a different brand and model car. You have the 722.6 transmission and the data plug that will always leak at some point, is easy to replace and it looks like a small dixie cup with pin holes on the bottom. Thats not a Mercedes part you showed.

    Looks great. Orange peel expected if not wet sanded. Maaco offers color wet sand for extra and definitely worth it on Mercedes 040 black. Would have let them keep it another week to finish.

    The car needs to be cut and buffed. Wet sand and polish it. I had really good results getting single stage polyurethane from Maaco, but I also sanded, primed and sealed the car myself. Prep is key to any paint job. Cut and buff and it will look way better.

  • @kirkmays2125
    @kirkmays2125 3 місяці тому

    What you have is orange peel. that has nothing to do with the surface. it’s the way they sprayed it, but it can be fixed sanded and polished out as long as there’s enough clear on it. The reason the side panels have it more than the hood is because of gravity. The weight of the paint if you put it on too heavy, will create that I’m with you though I would not have been happy seeing those results.

    For $1000, this looks good. I would be satisfied with this for that price. As I have said previously, if I wanted my automotive painted to showroom condition, Maaco is not where I would take it. I have personally never had an automotive that I desired to do that with.

    Lovely cars these SLKs: reliable, very quick off the mark and not expensive to run - brilliant cruising cars! Plus they look amazing with the outward McLaren SLR body lines, and the vario convertible roof is a brilliant 'Transformer' type gadget indeed. I have the same 2006 R171 model in black, for 4 years now as my daily driver with 85k on the clock. Best car I've owned, honestly - I'm smitten with it (then again, I'm easy to please and tend to be more of a cyclist - enjoying 2 wheels more than 4). BUT for a car, its a real head turner. I think along with the SLK 55AMG, the R171 SLK are the best looking of the SLK & SLC models made. Then, that's just my silly opinion.
