96 Lumina Exhaust Manifold

I Have a 96 Lumina, with a 3.1 eng. I found the rear exhaust manifold is cracked. What I'm wanting to know is, are there any special tools I'll need? The manual doesn't mention any. This car has been full of special tool suprises>>>

No special tools that I'm aware of.I would check the engine and trans mounts to make sure it wasn't part of the reason it cracked.I don't know where it cracked just a precaution in case it cracked near where the front exhaust pipe bolts on to the manifold.

Thanks Davo. The manifold appears to be cracked at a seam. I've never seen one crack like that before. Thnaks again.

Noisey Door Weather Seal

R

rckowal on Nov 15, 2003

I would like to get rid of a noise that appears to coming from the foam rubber weather seal on the drivers door of a 1999 Dodge Caravan. It's the one that's attached to the back edge of the door & seals against the "B" pillar. The sound is not wind noise (whistling) but more like a light tapping or rapping. It just started when the weather here turned colder. This occurs while driving & from what I can tell, it has a frequency that is equal to the slight movements or vibrations of the door. I've been able to isolate it by pressing on the rubber seal - which eliminates the noise. It seems like the door is moving very slightly in the opening & closing direction. This causes the tapping sound as the seal strikes the "B" pillar. Although I've been able to identify it's source, I don't know what to do to eliminate it. Is there some kind of a door adjustment than can be made to increase the doors pressure against the seal? Or some thing else? Any & all ideas will be welcomed & appreciated. Best regards, DickRead More

I have a 1992 Chevy Lumina APV I went thru the car wash and started having transmission problems. First would take forever to shift. Now it's to the point where it won't go in to gear at all. Was shifting fine before the wash. All happened within 24 hours. Any help would be appreciated. ThanksRead More
