[T3] Popping out of reverse etc.

[wodkowski@mac.com]

<x-flowed>So, after years of happy driving it's popping out of reverse pretty 
easily.

This is a shifter bushing problem?

I think I'm going to need to take my square into the mechanic to get 
this work done, and I'm just curious if there's any parts I need.

Hopefully looking into my weird fuel problem today. When I hit the gas 
hard OR when the engine reaches over a certain rpm ( Somewhere around 
3500-4000) it sputters out and doesn't pick up again until it goes down 
to around 200-2500. ALSO, this occurs if I make a hard right regardless 
of rpm and regardless of how full the tank is.

Fortunately, I'm rarely in a position where gunning it is all that 
necessary. I basically have to avoid using a few steep on-ramps.

There are no changes in electrical output when this sputtering happens. 
Charging system is working fine.

But here's the kicker, whether related or not. So I'm in second one 
day, I hit the gas to cause the problem to see if I can locate any hose 
ruptures - and the car pops out of 2nd. This is new. Related or 
coincidental? Or coincidental but only related to my reverse problem?

I got into grad school (starts June 1) and Ill be taking the T3 up to 
the Red hook/Tivoli area, so I have to get it reliable. Any help is 
always appreciated.

PS Jim. So far still no problems with the new generator I repaired.
