    Downpipe heatsheild rattles, very obnoxious

    yup thats what im going to end up doing but for the mean time i made a small shield to protect my transmission lines out of the old ones. Just cut out the section and put it in. I was wondering if I could run it without anything though as Ive seen many times on other cars.

    Downpipe heatsheild rattles, very obnoxious

    The heat shield has been rattling so bad its driving me nuts, I tried fixing the problem but it is impossible. What should I do? I want to cut the thing off and be done with it.

    12Volt Mod/Battery Relocation...Is this SAFE?????

    Hmm im no expert but Im sure if the proper wiring is used it should be fine people relocate them back in the trunk all the time) but if you are worried about getting smacked in the head by a battery I would maybe find a bar to bolt in and hold it down or something.

    Transmission Problems (a/t) In "D" second gear is skipped

    Well its fixed now.. Heres what I did besides the new trans filter and flushing it with new fluid. Flushed and drained out the nasty green coolant and replaced with that piss yellow shit (g-05 or something) so now its fresh and clean. I think this had a big factor as the shit that came out...
