Any Suggestions?
My 65 Olds convertible top goes down just fine. But, when I try to put it back up, it needs a little assistance for a quarter of the way and then, it is fine. Is it just low on fluid or something else?
Thanks, Kevin |

Heave ho
It sounds like you are low on oil, there should be a small plug in the top of the pump body, use dexron, and use a syringe to put the stuff in, have rags handy because we are sloppy and voila...cycle the top up and down a couple of times to get rid of the air bubbles...

Stuffed
I don't know what the inside of your trunk is like...but on a Cutlass we go in through the trunk and under the dust cover for the top...it's a little awkward but don't wear your Sunday clothes...
Yes on the type A trans fluid...

Thanks
I have a similar problem with my 69-98 but not sure how to get to the pump. Would I have to remove the cardboard to see the pump? Do you do this on your cutlass or is the dust shield on the trunk side?

Well its done. Not a messy job. It was a cardboard cover,
used a ear syringe to fill it. It took about 4oz, Dextron VI no type A avalible. After working the air bubbles out I was able to put another ounce in. Works fine now. Thanks Guys for your advice. Kevin |
