i got a couple problems so i have a few problems that have recently started with my bird.
1) whenever i roll down my drivers side window, it will stop halfway down. it does the same when trying to roll it back up. i have to wait a few minutes and try again and sometimes it only goes up about an inch or so. could it be my window motor going out or something else?
2) i know i need a new clutch but something else just started acting up that im curious about. whenever i shift into 4th gear, i would feel a grinding in the stick. i can double-clutch it going into 4th and it wont grind and it also doesnt do it when im downshifting from 5th. i noticed i cant get it into 4th at higher speeds. i had my car up around 90 mph or so and tried going into 4th but it kept grinding. occasionally it wont fully go in and then it will pop out of gear. however, once i do get it into 4th, then its fine. i was thinking maybe synchros but im not a mechanic so i have no idea
3) whenever i start my car, my fan turns on. my fan is always running when my motor is. could it be a stuck relay or something? it just gets annoying standing outside my car while its running and hearing my fan over my motor.
any input is much appreciated

pwr window motor is going bad, good luck with those rivets (i just did mine)
synchros are going bad
as for the fan thing? your car hates you, or thinks your so hot she has to cool herself off. thats rediculous, i apologize, i have no advice for you.

Yeah good luck with those rivets, they suck. Unless you can get your hands on a cut-off tool. I used one to cut the entire rivet head flat until i could break the center free from the flange. Just need a steady hand, and stay away from the door.
