Pontiac radio removal - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

theguyondacouch · 08-17-2004, 04:55 PM

I recently bought a 1988 pontiac lemans. The radio doesnt work, but I dont know how to remove it. It has four holes on the front, similair to a ford radio, but I dont know if a Ford radio tool would work. DOes anyone have any idea about how this is removed? Also, thetranny(3 speed auto) shifts fine into 2nd, but when it attempts to shift into 3rd, it catches for a second then jumps out of gear and stays that way unless I slow down. Wtf would cause that? It feels expensive.

I just looked on Alldata at work and it didn't have any info on the radio, sorry I can't help you with that.

Go to the local audio shop, they'll help you out. The transmission probably needs a rebuild or replacement.
