1985 AND EARLY 1986 SUNBIRD VEHICLES WITH 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS AND 1.8L (VIN CODE O) ENGINES
Some 1985 and early 1986 Sunbird vehicles with 5 speed manual transaxles and 1.8L engines may exhibit an objectionable shift lever rattle/buzz noise when the transaxle is in 4th gear during a drive or light acceleration condition. This noise may be audible in the passenger compartment and is usually caused by a run out condition between the 3-4 synchronizer and the 4th speed input gear.
The noise condition can be corrected by replacing the following parts:
