the tires on the factory wheels are brand new. whoevery had this car be for me put more miles on the rims than the tires. theres a lilbit of curb marks on them, but not too bad. i'll see what i'm gonna do with them once the new ones come in cause my apartment is too small to stash 4 more wheels in.

Should be the sensor is under the car in the back side of the bumper.
Or it might be laying in the air guide.
There might be 2 sensors there one is the temp.

The sensors shoudl have 3 tabs on it to lock it into the hole is should be in.
There is a probe that comes out the center of the 3 tabs.

Check the swivel point of the shift **** where the pin is. I will bet it is broke up some and the **** isn't coming out all the way.

the button you would press to make the gear change on the stick right? cause that button sticks sometimes.

also, i found the outside temp sensor under the bumper this weekend and it's plugged in, maybe it's bad for sure huh?

Yes that button that will make the key not come out. That is if it doesn't release all the way.
Is yours woodgrain?

Yes sounds like the temp sensor is bad.

OUCH is right.

If you happen to find a plain cheap shifter **** on e-bay for REALLY cheap buy one.
Then I will find you the wood **** and show you how to fix it.
I usually only get broke ones like you got. But I figured out how to fix them using old 850 ***** that the rubber falls apart on.

my **** button doesn't really feel broken, just feels like it's sticking. i'll spray some PB blaster in there and see if it frees up.

so, since i only need one rear driver & tweet and the center stage driver with tweet, where can i get those items without selling any body organs?

man, i just installed a urethane bushing in the upper mount that was broken and wow! a night and day difference with how the car pulls off and accellerates. a lil bit of vibration can be felt, but it's really nothing.

i used 2 bushings from my work. they go somewhere on a coach bus [:-]
