Vendors for transmission resistor

Hi all,

I'm looking to pick up a new spec transmission resistor. Any suggestions where I could pick one up or order one?

Thanks!

What do you mean by a "new spec transmission resistor" ?

Something roughly equivalent to the original stock resistor.

How do you know when your resistor needs to be replaced?

Your transmission will shift abruptly, you will lose engine braking (put the shifter in '3' going down a hill and take foot off the gas; your revs will plummet), and most noteably your Power light will flash 16 times upon startup. This notifies you that there is a transmission fault.

The link above will tell you how to pull codes. If your resistor is dead, you'll get a code 11.

It is located between the battery and the inner fender under the hood.
If you remove the two 10mm head bolts that hold it in, you can check the resistance with an ohmmeter.
Good stock resistors will test at, or very close to 12 ohms. Factory range is 9-15 ohms.
If it reads as an open circuit then it is very bad.

Mine read open circuit when it was removed and tested too.

My 5 speed doesn't need her resistor

You can have my stock resistor if you want it. I have a 5-speed and the PO left it on the inner fender. Pay shipping and it's yours.
