Hi, Just purchased an 89 coupe 5spd and would like to do an all around tune up this is what i have listed so far, money is a factor:

Air, oil, fuel filterNew plugs New wiresCoolant changeOil changeChange the transmission fluid/filter (if there is one???)adjust the clutchwhat else am I missing?

Should i throw any additives into the gas tank or in with the oil?

Synthentic oil or regular?

Any posts will be helpful, thanks!

there is no filter in a manual trans but what you got so far sounds good. how many miles on it?

Hi thanks for the reply it has 109k miles on it. The belts look pretty good too although there is no AC belt, Im still thinking about for the summer, either ripping it out completely or just buying the belt

do a good visual on all your suspension bushings. drain and fill the differential. inspect shaft joints. wheel bearings for play. pay special attention to your front tension rod bushings. they tend to split and leak the fluid. check your masters and your clutch slave for leaks. do a good throttle plate cleaning.
