Cleaning the 6-Way and 4-Way Seat Transmissions

Below is the part of the my long Fall 2013 Interior Project post that addresses cleaning the seat transmissions. I will put a link to this on our Help Page.

The 6 way power seat transmission was disassembled, cleaned and new lithium grease added. The casing comes apart via Phillips screws. Be sure to note the way the everything comes apart.

The cavity and solenoid shafts should be completely cleaned. The grease dries very hard preventing the solenoid slide plates from popping out to engage the seat cable gears. I use 0000 steel wool and WD 40 to clean shafts and cavity. Make sure the slide plates on the shafts are slid completely off the "squared" section and all dried grease is removed. I had to really bear down to get the old brown dried grease out of the cavity. Here it is nice and clean:

Ready to put back together:

Hey guys hope you’re having a great day. I have a question about the choke heater tube. Mine is loose at the intake and seems to be causing a vacuum leak. Any thoughts on how to seal this up?

Torque converter grab when idling in Drive

Posted by Cliff Johnston on June 14, 2021 at 8:47pm 2 Comments 0 Likes

Hi Everyone, been quite a while since i have been on here.

I have had an issue with the idle on my 64 Coupe Deville ever since i have had it.

With the Idle set high enough that it is smooth, but still a nice idle, the RPM seems only slightly too high for the stall of the Torque Converter. And therefore it tends to sit there and grab and lunge a bit. So until now, i have been putting the car in Neutral at the lights to stop this happening.

I've had the car dyno tuned and…

Hello!

Newbie to the group here - we have already found tons of invaluable information on the board, so thanks! We are restoring a 1963 Series 62 Convertible. We are wondering if anyone knows of a source to buy the propellor yoke flange (that bolts to the pinion flange) for the driveshaft? One of our ears partially broke off. Not sure if we can buy just the yoke flange as an aftermarket part, or if it has to be rebuilt by a welder/fab guy? Maybe a salvage yard for a source? Again, any…
