Once again, '83 240GL, B23E engine, 3-speed auto(153,800 kilometres).

Firstly, the intermittent setting on the wipers has gone AWOL. Worked fine when I got the car, but suddenly all I can use are the two constant settings(flipping the lever up into intermittent leaves the wipers completely dormant).

Secondly, one or more of the wheels is/are making a light squeaking noise when the car is moving at between 40 and 65 km/h. Goes away instantly when I accelerate or put on the brakes at any pressure.

Lastly, when the auto shifts into 3rd gear at low speed(say 50-60 km/h), something in the transmission makes an audible "plink" noise. Like two pieces of hard metal being tapped together. Doesn't happen on acceleration; only when I let off the accelerator and it shifts up.

Sorry about my ignorance but I truly have no idea what's causing any of these problems. All ideas and suggestions are welcomed. Thanks for your time. :)
