Does any one know if there is any kind of maintenance for electric side mirrors? Today I attempted to adjust my passenger’s side electric mirror and it would not move. I had to open the passenger’s side window and push on the mirror while moving the switch. It finally started moving but seamed sluggish. Found out there are 3 screws holding the mirror and motor assembly in the housing. Removed the screws and was able to slide the mirror assembly far enough out of the housing to let me clean all of the dust and dirt of every thing. Used a tooth brush on the 2 screws that move the mirror to get the threads cleaned off. After cleaning I put one drop of 10W30 oil on each plastic adjusting screw and operated the mirror back and forth and up and down several times. This seams to have helped so I wiped any excess oil off the plastic screws and put the mirror back in the housing. I don’t know if I should of used oil on the plastic screws but I guess I will find out sooner or later. The picture is of the 2 plastic screws after cleaning and oiling.

Well , changed the seals in the pressure switch, they where not bad, but I had new ones in the kit so why not. the accumulator pistons where not too nasty , cleaned em up and swapped in the new Transgo springs. and new seals . got the valve body cleaned up and the new boost valve assembled and installed, all the Valves looked good and all the solenoids checked good with all resistances in spec, didnt get any pics before the install was busy trying to get it done. Valve body is done and the side cover bolted down I reinstalled the servos accumulators and installed a new filter grommet and filter. and its all done. the engine bay is cleaned up and I just have to get in and tidy up some hose covers that get a bit frayed with pressure washing it. for giggles I looked at the pressure switch from the GTP and found the third gear switch and the TCC membranes where in top of the sealing ring, no way they where sealing and that may have been the cause of death for the transmission. Not sure how that would have happened but sure enough there is was.I had already removed the 3rd gear one to test the switch. the one Im pointing to is the TCC switch, both these are normally closed until pressure is applied then they open the circuit .
