Remove the steering wheel, press the plate, pull the lock ring out, remove 3 Phillips head screws to your turn signal switch. There is one more tiny Phillips screw, this is for the turn signal arm. Just pull the switch up just a little bit to get it off the steering shaft, there is a torques head screw, remove that and the cylinder is out, reverse all the directions to install.

How do you install the steering column in a 1985 Monte Carlo?
Disconnect the steering column from the power steering box in the engine compartment (there is a seal and it will not pull out easy). Remove the cover from underneath the steering column inside the car. Disconnect all wire connectors. There is a bracket underneath the column - remove the four bolts from it. There is s boot seal where the column goes through the firewall - it may also contains a bolt that wiil need to be removed. If it has a column shifter, you will need to disconnect this as well. Make sure when you slide the new steering column into the power steering box that the tires are straight and so is the steering wheel. If you forget, the steering wheel will not be straight while driving.
They are hard to see but are right where the block meets the oil pan. One nice thing is they point straight down so it makes less of a mess when draining.

How much is a new transmission for a 1996 Monte Carlo?
This isn't a simple question to answer bc there are three ways to do it. You can get a NEW tranny and that will run a probably 3-4 grand. A rebuilt will be around 2 grand. Another thing to do is to take it to a GOOD tranny shop and sometimes they can rebuild them without taking the whole moter out and that will be around 1500 or so. A good tranny shop rebuild will be just like getting a new trannsmission. Also if other components are bad they will need to be replaced and that will drive the costs up. Things like bad speed sensors and that sort of thing will make the price go up. A good tranny shop will have all the necessary equipment to properly diagnose it. My mother-in-law just had her 95 Windstar replaced and this is what she did. Good luck.

How do you repair the alternator on a 1984 Chevy Monte Carlo?
Don't see any date here, so I don't know how likely it is you fixed your alternator. If not, this is one of the best pieces to work on and troubleshoot. I put together a whole bunch of my own curriculum that I used for nine years in a community college auto electrical class. The operation of this system is boiled down to a one-page document that explains how the system works. I can also give you troubleshooting tips, and can send you to a dandy parts supplier. You should know, however, that there are a lot of these in the "core" bins at the junkyards. I used to buy a lot of them for 2 bucks each, and could usually make three good units out of five. There's no reason you can't fix this alternator for just a few bucks, and an hour or two of your time.
