Hey Rex!

Can I use this info on my '92 as you did on your '93?

Great tip! Beats jacks, jackstands, crawling under the car, etc......... :thumbs:

Just don't shift until you hit 20 MPH, problem solved.

That works, unless you have a 157 year old woman in front of you in a Ford Escort, and you'd like to blow by her in 2nd, and can't cause you were forced to jump to 4th. I had a problem with it only because I like to control when I shift, not when GM FEELS I should be shifting... Best $10-15 I've spent!!

you know you could just pause in nertral for a sec give the old lady a chance.I'm sure she has it floored so you can't get by,but with only 3 out of 4 piston's working and a flat tire, no coolant,and can't see over the dash with the one blined eye she has left. At lest she's not going in reverse. :rolleyes:
