phantomgreen Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Hello. I have a 93 3.4 olds vert with low miles but a couple of vert issues lately. 1 month ago the top wouldnt go up and after investigation I found a busted line that fluid was spraying out of. I fixed the line and filled the pump with fluid and it worked fine for a week or two. The last time I tried to put the top down I got nothin. The only noise it makes is a click when the switch is toggled from up to down and vice versa. The pump has hydraulic fluid and there is power to the pump. So I removed the hydraulic pump motor and dissassembled it. I not very familiar with hydraulic pumps so couldnt do much. Only notable find was that the pump motor shaft wouldnt even turn as if it were locked up (If they are even supposed to rotate I dont know). So if someone could tell me a repair or most likely I probly just need a new motor pump and where to get and how much that would be greatly appreciated. I normaly chill on 60degreev6 and just came across this site and saw the vert specific thread. Thanks a million. CAM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleeingpepper Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 I've read you can rebuild the pumps and most people do. IIRC they were in the neighborhood of $1000 to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleeingpepper Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 That's...weird. We are talking about the pump and not the cylinders right? http://www.w-body.com/forum/index.php?topic=48517.msg580355#msg580355 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleeingpepper Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 That's really weird.. Luckily it doesn't matter to me, as mine isn't broken and it's a 1995! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
