check your transmission codes

Now I have the picture and Tom gave you good advice. Early models of the shift kit add on thing cause the light to flash. Get rid of it ,is my advice. It is very strange that you do not have a resistor fitted, as this is required as part and parcel of the operation of the shift kit, which should be connected to it. You will do no harm driving the car for a short while until you sort things out.

Hopefully I don't have the same thing going on with my car when I decide to pull out my resistor, which I hope is there...
Meanwhile back in Aus, somehow, I find it logical to pull out the resistor and check it instead of pulling out transmission codes, I don't know why. And if I test the resistor or see that the resistor is in good condition, I'll be completely lost. I'm doing the resistor change tomorrow with this resistor... http://www.rsaustralia.com/cgi-bin/b...0&cacheID=auie It looks pretty promising, (fingers crossed) and I will take some pictures and post everything with results.

I am not sure what you are getting at by referring to "the resistor swap", as this thread applies to replacing a faulty resistor, rather than a modification.

Basically, I'm replacing the faulty resistor that sits next to the battery, mounted on the wall. There is a how-to specifying a replacement 25Watt 15Ohm resistor... the link that I gave you guys didn't work but I've ordered an aluminium heatsinked wirewound resistor that's a 100Watt 15Ohm. Hopefully I'm in the right thread but if anyone has any objections about the resistor that I will be using please tell me now because I'm an amateur and the resistor will be most likely replaced today... by me!

SWEET!
yeah im going to have to improvise a little, i dont plan on keeping the other housing, only the connector piece Since the link that I've been sending doesn't seem to be working, check it out at http://www.rsaustralia.com/ and up the top of the website it says "Find" type in 188-138 (next to find) and use the drop down tab to select "RS Stock Number" and smash the "Find" button. I think it's a neat little resistor BUT I'm also scared about short circuiting things especially the TCU, hopefully I don't run into trouble and if someone thinks I will, please tell me now.

Don't panic regarding it being a connection to electronic stuff. A robust solenoid switching circuit is involved and with the ignition switch off you can do no harm.
