New Owner with a few questions
Hello,
I just purchased my first Volvo last night and got her home and have a few small problems to get sorted out.
She is a 1985 Volvo that was imported from Belgium (What I have been told). She was still running on a carb stock from the factory and has been converted to run on either CNG or LPG (currently on LPG). She runs great and has been on this fuel for several years now.
The problem that I am having is that she is really sloppy on shifting. The five speed transmission works great other than you have to "hunt" for the gears. First for example you have to lift slightly op on the lock out for reverse to get into 1st gear. Then going between gears it can be a hit or a miss to get them on the first attempt. Is this the shifter itself or is this the linkage? Or even the clutch cable?
I believe that to be the only real issue at the moment. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
Does anyone have any ideas on what could cause the shifter to feel loose and sloppy?
Also when your altenator starts going out does the idiot light start flickering on and off randomly. My started that today after taking her out finally. Just get her tagged and insured and cant wait to start driving her on monday to work.

Hello,
New problem. Since this car has been imported from Belgium to the US I ran into a problem with the blower motor. I recently picked up a replacement from the local auto store and it doesnt match the unit in the car. I investigated further and found out that they used a specific heater unit overseas. Any ideas on how to replace the blown motor for the fan?
