A mate has a 1990 KE model, the Carla Zampatti edition. I don't reckon he noticed before he bought it.
I remember with fords of that era, something about the backing plates in the drum brakes start rattling/jolting as they age. Also remember something in the KE Gregory's manual about the flat spot. Will go have a look.
Was the overdrive in those overdrive or direct. What I mean is, cars like the magna had the 0.75:1 ratio with the 4th gear (lockup converter), but some smaller engined cars that were crippled by unleaded petrol (including the 1986 Camira), all the 1-3 ratios were lowered and 4th lockup was 1:1. Meant the lack of power was a bit less noticeable. At least by 89, most had sorted out their unleaded problems.
