    Auto transmission is shifting hard (clunk) into drive and reverse

    I've got an 87 toyota supra and especially when the car hasn't warmed up yet, it shifts hard and sometimes with a clunk from park or neutral to drive or reverse.

    What's this warning light for?

    This light came on in my supra and it's on all of the time. It's the orange one that's lit that I'm unsure of and is just to the left of the red one that's lit which is for the doors. It has a picture of a car on it and it looks like there's light marks coming out of the back or something...

    Anyone compared good 4" to good 5" or 6" spkrs in the front?

    I've got an 86.5 supra and I'm thinking about putting 5.25" or 6.5" speakers in the doors. My speakers in front right now are completely blown and I have no idea what some really good 4" speakers would sound like, especially in those original pods. Obviously, 5 or 6's will sound better...
