There is a lot of stuff to explain. How about you start tackling it and let me know if you have questions. I can PM you my phone number if you are really stuck.

Its a pretty straight forward process though. Just start taking out stuff and remember where it goes.

The one that actually moves the shifter cable is just on a "ball joint". Just pry on the connector until it pops off, straight off the ball.

The brake release cable just needs to be pulled towards the back of the car to pull it off its shalf.

It takes quite a bit of force. You need the pull the cable away from the open end of the connector. Just by looking at it you should see which way it needs to come off.

ok here's how the car sits now, i removed the seats carpet and console from the car, i tested both drains up front and they are dropping water into the car, i cannot find the top lines after they go into the dash or the bottom ones that must be disconnected from them even after reading the techinfo article on them. haro, did you pull the lines out completely? how did you get them back in? do i have to pull the dash out or something what am i missing?

You need to cut a flap in the rubber mat, just under the dash, on both sides.

Well the headliner and c-pillars need to be out to diagnose the rear drains.

The only thing you need to make it driveable is a seat and shifter. ;)

ok update time: i finally got under there yesterday and cut the rubber sure enough the lines were there just like haro said, also sure enough they were disconnected. i hose clamped them back together and i also took the inner fenders out and opened the tip of the nipple up with a razor knife because it was somehow pinched shut on itself. i got the car put back together with no problems other then i nicked my quarter panel with one of my seats so i have a new scratch :angry7:

and i lost one or two clips, but other then that good as new all the water i poured down came out the drain behind the tire just like it's supposed to today it is raining horrible up here so i will know if my leak is gone or not, now i need to find the trunk leak. i have a few pics that i will update later

a few notes: the seat bolt is actually a T-47 though a T-45 might be made to work, i wouldn't do it for risk of stripping them.

also i feel that i should pull the inner fenders every now and then and clean 'em out there was about 4 inches of dirt and leaves packed onto the top of the side skirting which could possibly cause clogging problems.

i have to give a HUGE thanks to Haro for the write up and keeping an eye on my thread, you really came in handy a few times thanks dude :hail:
