The Good... And the Bad
Ok well after my SVX being in the shop from November 28th-January 11th I have successfully put 350 miles on my new front dif and now im experiencing some new problems.
The Bad: ~Torque convertor locks some times and other times it stays out. ~Trans has to warm up some before it will shift properly (I hear this is semi-normal) ~ When in Park, if I rev it the car will roll until it goes back to idle. ~ At idle there is a very distinct metallic rattling noise coming from the engine bay. Doesnt do it all the time and doesnt affect performance. Maybe an exhaust flange or catalytic convertor shield is loose? The Good: ~ Rear wiper fixed itself and now wipes the back glass instead of the TRUNK ~ CD player miraculously works again ~ POWER light comes on when its supposed to

You should get that transmission fixed before it gets you in worse issues

I doubt I own it that long. I was already at the local Subee dealer looking at a used WRX.
And I just spent $2218 getting the dif replaced.

At first I thought the sound was a spun bearing and I was freaking out.
How do I adjust the cable?

There is a screw adjuster on the base of the shifter under the car.

um... you loosen the adjuster and place the shifter into park position and make sure the lever on the side of the transmission is fully engaged in the park postion. Then tighten the adjuster so it is snug. Not that complicated

Sorry bout being so thorough but it seems something as seemingly simple as a headlight bulb can get complicated with these things.
And as always "Thanks Tom"
