1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass cutlass supreme convertible from North America - Comments

I have 2 a 1994 and 1995 both need rear window seals anyone have any ideas? replacements seem unfindable.

I am the proud owner of 2 one black and one white 95' cutlass supreme convertables with the 3.4 dohc and one is about ready to retire with 200,000 miles on it and the other only has 17,000 miles on it. the old black one is having a transmission issue it stops working if the car is stoped or randomly while driving the engine still runs without stalling the car just dosn't move if I turn it of then back on it will run for another 15- 20 miles I was wondering if anyone knew if this problem was fixable. other than that I was happy enough with the first to buy the second. I have had the general GM problems though (knobs that are a bad design, alternator problem, ect.) I also wanted to say I found some knobs that fit the car at frys electronics they don't break of becuase they are metal not plastic on the inside.

Hi, I'm thinking of buying a white 94 culess conv. It has 65000 miles on it. What should I look for? Thanks.

Lookong at this vehicle- cannot replace many parts specific to the convertible as they are "discontinued". There are some aftermarket, but there are also some parts that you cannot get.

I bought a 94 Cutlass Supreme Convertible with just under 100K, and love it. Everything works very well; it's obviously been garage kept except for the past year. The interior is a bit scruffy looking, but the car is beautifully designed from the outside! It draws looks and handles well. Had the timing belt redone recently, and 4 new tires. Acceleration is decent. My young sons love it!

Just bought a 94 convertible with the 3.4; It only has 60,000 miles on it and brought it home to Guelph, Ontario after importing it from the good old USA!

After finally discovering this site and its' dedication to this car, I'd like to hear from more of you who would like to form a club for these vehicles so we can share insights and fixes. I'll leave my e-mail contact & hope to hear from you if you love yours like I love mine... These cars are certain to be collectors. meacheal@rogers.com.

I have a red '95 cutlass with a white convertible top. It had been converted to a NASCAR edition (custom aluminum wheels, white letter NASCAR tires, and a rear spoiler). It really makes it sporty. I love this car. My wife loves it too and drives it often.

I bought it 2 years ago and had to replace all the seals in the top of the engine and re-align the DOHCs. I purchased this car as my toy so I don't mind the work I am putting into it. I just purchased a top and plan to install it myself next week. I too am looking for the rear window quarter weather stripping. The car club sounds great.

I have recently purchased a white with black interior 3.1 L 94 convertible with 130k on it and in fair condition. I purchased a new driver's exterior door handle and will install the better rebuilt part today.

I purchased this car because we have owned a 93 sedan with the same engine since new, and have had great reliability with it at 88k, but yes the engine seal is now leaking, which seems to be a GM problem.

The power steering box was changed twice, and it has never been a great car to turn or park, and this 94 convertible seems to also be stiff in the steering as well, so I'm wondering if that is a GM problem as well?

The GM alternators seem to be bad on most 90's models at around 60k mileage.

I also need the rear window seals, so if anyone knows where to locate them, I would love to know where to find them.

I also require a boot for the convertible top, and will be replacing the roof this month as well, so looking for a reliable place to purchase it to give to the installer.

Also looking for a black console armrest; if anyone knows where I can find one that would be great.

These are great cars and need to be preserved.

I purchased parts for my top, as well as an installation manual, from www.convertibletopguys.com

Well hello to all my Cutlass fans out there.

So I guess I'm in the club with all you 3.4's. I been in love with these cars for a long time.

I love my drop top. I've got a red one with a black top; the limited edition, with the rear bucket seats. And I'm going crazy on fixing on this 3.4 motor. It's hell so I know what you all are going through.

I've been driving these cars for a long time. but never had a 3.4. Man, I wish I knew what I was getting myself into on this 3.4.

When I was in high school I had my 1st Cutlass; it was a 1990 and it had a quad 4 motor in it. Man, I went to hell and back just trying to have some one to even work on it, and I'm going through it all over again.

I had to put a motor in this car, and I've only had it less than a year. I got it last summer, like in June, and in November the motor was gone. So it sat up all winter, and I just got it back on the road, and I'm loving that top down again. It's like you are in another world when that top comes down. So all my drop top Cutlass owners know what I'm talking bout. I love the body look, the block head lights, and the bar when the top is down.

But this 3.4 is no joke. If I get another Cutlass, you better believe it will have a 3.1 in it. I had a 1996 2 door green with peanut butter leather seats, with the 3 stage sun roof, that had a 3.1 in it, but some one had crashed in to me from the back, and they totaled the car out, and that's how I got this 3.4.

I was surfing the web looking for a top because some one broke in my car and stole my radio. I had a TV, radio, touch screen with the navigation system on it; it plays DVD's etc. and the person cut my top to get in the car. I was HEATED when I got up the next morning to go to work, and saw that it was cut. But anyway, do any Cutlass fans out there know where to get a top replaced at?

I'm glad I bumped in to this web site. I will start looking on here everyday from now on. I swear I was reading some of the comments, and couldn't do nothing but laugh because I feel your 3.4 motor pain.

I"m going to tell you pain when I had my 1996 cutlass with the 3.1 motor in it; the alternator sits right on top, but with this 3.4 the alternator is all the way at the bottom, and sits in the back. now is that pain or what. Can I get a A-MAN from somebody.

Thanks for you all taking the time to read my comment. By the way, my name is JAMIE and I can't wait to hear what your all comments to my comments are.

Hey this is your Cutlass fan JAMIE again. I just went outside, and was really looking at my car, and thinking about some things you all said about the car. Have you all noticed that at the back of the car, like where the back tire is, that it always rusts in the coiner or bubbles up like its water damage or something. I'm not sure of what you call it, but I think it's the back quarter panel by the trimming of the wheel well. I've had that problem with all 4 of my cutlass's. Is it just me or has anyone had this problem?

And to all my 2 door owners; how many door handles have you had to replace? They are like so delicate. Can I get a A-MAN? And to the comment about the club, I think it is a good move, and when you get it up and running, put me on the list.

One more thing; why is it that I'm not getting all my horse power out my car? It rides OK, but it don't perform like other Cutlass's I see on the streets. What do I have to do?

Check the yellow pages for upholsters in you area. If they do car upholstery, then they probably do tops as well.

As far as the horsepower, one thing you can check is the alignment of the Dual Over Head Cams. I re-aligned mine when I did some engine work and my mileage went from 14 mpg to 21 mpg and increased the power.

I own a 94 Cutlass, yes with the 3.4 engine. Was warned about it, but bought the car anyway.

The timing belt was never replaced, so I had it done at 89,000 miles. Shortly after that, the engine wasn't running right. I only have 30 pounds of compression on the number 6 cylinder. Bent valve or rings?

Here are some other issues: exterior door handle, rubber stripping for rear quarter windows, top goes down, sometimes don't go up. Could it be the power top switch or the motor?

Also, the rear wheels are way off. Almost 4 degrees on drivers side and 1.6 on the other.

I only use the car 3 months a year, so I don't want to put any major money into it. I do like the car and the styling though. Could be a collectible. Only 8,638 convertibles were made in 1994. Any advice would be appreciated.
