2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 review from North America
"Absolute beauty"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear axle C-clip broke and wore out axle tip, so a new axle was needed.
Clutch master cylinder went up.
Alternator wore out.
Antenna broke.
Passenger power window stop working.
General comments?
I love this car absolutely love this car. I got this with a salvage title so I knew it was going to be a project. Besides the problems and the aggravation of working on this vehicle, I still can't help to cherish every drive I have in it.
They are known for weak rear ends, clutches and throttle shafts. So if you were going to start anywhere with maintaining them, I would start there.
