Good! You are learning how these old cars work. FYI the first gear band needs adjusting once in a while on Glides.
what do you mean? Is this something that requires dropping the trans? How would I tell if it needs adjusting?
It's shifting extremely smoothly now and not slipping. The machine shop guys all said the engine seems to be like new in that it has excellent vacuum (18+ lbs) and is very quiet. I didn't really believe the car only had 28k miles but I'm starting to think it just might now. No real wear on the pedals; tons of original parts that normally wear out; etc, etc. I do know the car was only driven 1500 miles from 1998 to 2013 after a restoration. It sat for a couple decades before that collecting rust, and started life in Bethesda, MD where people don't drive much.
