Hey Nicole, where did the name "pascha" come from? Was it the official name of the pattern?

Accidently broke the back end free turning at a red light in slippery conditions, must remember 2nd gear is powerful! I'm definitely losing shifting power, reverse is starting to refuse my commands completely unless I keep playing around with it. Illumination on dash is absolutely shot with respect to the dimmers, and I don't know what those little buttons do but they are fun to press. I'm gonna pull out the multimeter tomorrow, and buy a new forward shift ball cup.

As noted. Learn to take those front seats out if they are in good condition and only use them if you are taking the car to a show and you need originality. That cloth is not the most durable either so if you do store it be sure it is climate controlled and does not have stuff stacked on it...

Welcome to the group!

Thanks curt, we'll have to get together sometime.

I checked out the dimmers (there are 2?) with the multimedia, the one on the left driver side is shot, but the contacts are good, meaning I can jumper it for some dash illumination. The leads to the right side are dead electrically, I couldn't figure out which fuse that was supposed to be so I'll just leave them be for now. At least the trip reset button works...

I also ordered a new front shifter ball cup and procured some jackstands. Next week I'll prop it up and see what I can do. Any tips?

The right side is the intermittent wiper speed rheostat, so would not have voltage unless those were on.
