My Pacer's clutch produces excessive noise. How should I deal with it?

Inadequate lubrication can be the cause of your clutch's noise. You can also test your clutch by starting your engine and put it in a neutral transmission. If it creates noise, most probably your shaft bearing is already worn out or damaged. If you are uncertain of the condition of the shaft, let a qualified mechanic check it for you. It might need a replacement, so be ready.

My brake lights were always on. They seem not to work properly. How do I fix stuck brake lights?

Your brake lights are very essential to your car and to your safety. They serve as a warning or signal to other drivers, so you cannot afford to have stuck up brake lights. Immediately check the brake pedal and switch it on and try to move it side to side. If it doesn't move, you have to replace the switch because this is often the cause of brake lights to stick. You might need the assistance of a professional if you do not personally know how to do it by yourself.

I've got dirty exhaust manifolds. How should I get them cleaned?

Your exhaust manifold will eventually get dirty in time. It is important to clean it so it wouldn't affect the efficiency of its job of releasing the gasses. Find where the exhaust manifold of your AMC Pacer is located and dismount it carefully. Coat the manifold with a thinner, then scrub all the dirt out. You may use a grinder to get rid of debris. Coat the exhaust manifold again with a thinner. Do not forget to use protective goggles and mask. Let it dry for a moment before mounting it back. To avoid errors, make sure to do research or ask help from someone who is knowledgeable with the process.

The radiator is leaking. Is it better to replace it instead of repairing it over and over?

Remember not to proceed to patching up your radiator when it's hot. Let it cool down or you'll get burned from hot water or steam. You may use an epoxy, but this wouldn't provide a permanent fix. However, this is the most reliable way to repair the leak, though it has a downtime of about 2 hours depending on the drying time. It is recommended to call a tow truck to help you get to the repair shop and let the shop do the permanent solution for your problem.
