sounbwoy I've noticed mine doing that a couple of times, but only when it's cold...... seems to go a little long in the gears....... but remember I've had my engine replaced, I've only got about 15,000 miles on the new engine......so I'm hoping it'll break in some in the next 5-10,000 miles......

Pretty interesting, today the light is out? I'm going to try and clean it first......... Auto Zone; Front sensor is about $65.00; Rear sensor is $245.00....... Kind of expensive for the second one, which is the one that's giving me some trouble...... Advanced Auto; $114 pre cat and $114 post cat...

I've just put 225/50/17's on my car, replaced the 205/50/17's....... really looks a lot nicer and the ride is a little bit better......... not as much road noise as I had from the 205's...... I'm going to get the car cleaned up and I'll take some pic's to compare....

replaced both struts; about 3 hours on Saturday to do the driver's side and about an hour and half on Sunday to do the passenger side........ little tricky getting the bottom of the strut out of the axel, stuck in there pretty good.... didn't replace any of the other stuff, just the strut...

Well finally figured out where the grease was coming from..... Took the car into the dealer for a special coupon oil change $24.95....... and service gave me a quote to replace the front struts $802.00...... This included all the parts and labor (shrug)... wow, that's expensive, so I did a...
