Hey guys I am new to this forum. I just picked up a 98 3.0CL it has 120k but I got a good deal.

I was wondering what things I should be looking at maintenance wise. I am aware I need to change the timing belt and the water pump, but anything else that could be recommended?

Thanks

sorry, I'd like to clearify 120K miles - 200k Kilometers

Thanks

Just the usual, oil changes, car washes, spare transmissions.

some spare window regulators too...

Yeah, seems like anything that usually does go out on CLs, well, usually does.

So it sounds like I'll be rebuilding this tranny not too long down the road

All depends on how well it was treated, and how it was maintained, get a hayden transmission oil cooler to try to prolong the life of the tranny, it's the bearings that go in the trayhn and they wreak havoc. Otherwise, they're great cars, we all beat the piss out of ours

I don't even beat the shit out of mine and I got screwed...

Just get the tranny cooler and save your penny's

Do you have a part number for that hayden cooler you'd recommend?

Anyone in Canada that installed a tranny cooler and know of a place to get one?

Thanks

Most auto parts sell them, they're mostly universal, mine came with option to mount on over 100 cars, including jeeps and shit, they are rather universal, and the install's easy as hell

I am having a hard time finding places online that will ship to Canada

I dunno, maybe it's harder to find, I found them at advanced auto and pep boys after I bought mine. It's called an auto transmission oil cooler. Try canadian tire, that's the only car parts store I know in canadia otherwise go to a tranny shop.

Crappy tire did not have it. They were the first place I tried.
