Re: Steering Wheel Shake When Stopped
I'm with Crazy_pilot. I had a bubble or two of air in my system due to an engine pull...violent shaking! I ran the steering wheel lock to lock and it magically stopped. Worth a try, doesn't cost a...

Re: 'Battery warning' light with key out...
Just "Binged" AF-50-12252, and one of the sites listed it as a AMFOR part (looked like a tractor-trailor website). I did email Christian and hopefully he can hook me up with a new plug (no pun...

Re: 'Battery warning' light with key out...
SVXCESS was 100% correct! Turns out when I reattached the alternator plug, I twisted it. The brittle insulation cracked off, and twisted the bare wires together. Had to do the electrical tape...

Re: 'Battery warning' light with key out...
Brown wire from alternator, thanks for the tip, will do when I get home tonight. Really need to give it another once over to make sure I didn't pinch any wires while I was cranking bolts down.

'Battery warning' light with key out...
Okay...Just drop the engine back in the car after replacing the torque converter seal (HUGE PITA!). Fired right up, purrs like a kitten, but there's something strange going on. The battery warning...

WTB: Power antenna
Had planned on rebuilding mine when the weather got nicer, and had been operating it "manually" taking it to the car wash. Drove into the bay and realize when the brushes started spinning that I...

Re: Rough Shift from 1st to 2nd @ Lower RPM
Well, even a '97 is still 25 years old. I read in one of the posts that a 25W 27 ohm resistor worked the best (original between 12-15 ohms). All I can say is that the part was cheap, the job was...

Re: Rough Shift from 1st to 2nd @ Lower RPM
If you can find a good used one, that'd be the easiest way to go. I bought one from Radio Shack (web only) for like a buck and a half, $8 shipped, and modified the original resistor bracket to...

Re: Xado
Kind of a blue paste in a syringe. Stick the tip in the dipstick tube and squirt it in there. I did it at work in the parking lot because I couldn't for the life of me find the tranny dipstick...

Re: Rough Shift from 1st to 2nd @ Lower RPM
Mine had the hard shift b/t first and second since I bought it. Got the TCU from Ecutune, helped a lot for the higher gears, but still rough b/t first and second. Checked the resistor, open circuit...

Re: Car stuck in Park
Okay, this might sound ridiculous, but are you depressing the brake pedal when you're trying to go into gear? Won't go anywhere if you don't.

Re: DAAAMMNN!! That was scary!!

Re: DAAAMMNN!! That was scary!!
Agreed! Got my SS braided lines from Planet SVX (plus a TCU and Stage I from ECUtune), but going to custom make the hard lines. They definitely won't be going the original routing. Tearing into it...

Re: DAAAMMNN!! That was scary!!
Actually, once I got it home, it was dark. The next morning I figure (read:hoped) that I'd see that one of the calipers had let loose...no such luck, all wheels bone dry, nothing on the ground. ...
