What did you do to your 924/944 today

Working in the preventative maintenance mode these days. I installed the only944 shifter with thrust bearings. There was no measurable wear on the transmission linkage or the shifter cross rod. Plating was worn a little thin, but the white lithium grease was still present and soft. Should be no wear going forward.

Still several things to do like:
1) Remote fan relays
2) Oil cooler gaskets
3) New engine mounts (It actually needs these.)
4) Replace original clutch (told you I don't beat on it.)
5) Maybe headlight relays, though I've got LEDs in there to reduce current already.
Basically, anything that runs high current through the dash wiring should have the existing power circuit used to signal a remote relay with new modern wiring powering it directly off the battery.
I think the list could be never ending.

I put in the regular one, I've had no difficulty shifting and I don't really beat on the car. Shifter wasn't worn at all (36K miles, grease still good, not even 1/100th of a mm wear on shaft per my caliper.) I'm now proactively going after the known problems in these cars and heading them off before they bite me.

Car is early 85 NA. I'm just doing what others have already done, nothing special. I do try to make any changes reversible, in case some future sole wants to return it to stock.

On the what used to be back seat ... did the same shop make that for you?
Is this stored in a garage? Just wondering ... about dash fading etc.
