I've received quite a few compliments where people have actually followed me to a parking spot just to say "nice car." This happen to anyone else around this area?
Sup guys! sorry for the late replies, but had some problems with the MR, the 3 lights u saw lit up on the ACD is a warning indicator, not from the TT. I took the car to automax because the car felt strong but i was getting the death whine. They opend up the TC to find no fluids at all present and the TC burned up! Of course that pissed me off as the car didnt come with a warranty and i just felt they were going to tell me we sold it "as is" while driving it back to the dealer, tc completly gave out....Long story short I told the dealer to repair the damage or give me my money back. So they are going to order a new TC and hydralic pump that is also damaged. They put me back in my celica until the damge is fixed. The cool thing about that is 2 days before i traded the car in, some nut rear ended me, but i never got to claim the damage. So since i have the car back i took it over to get an estimate. Ill be getting a 1700 check in the mail and returning the celica "as is" back to the dealer...LOL Ill end up getting a stage 2 tc from shep

Glad automax is taking care of it. If they sold you a car with no fluid that means there prep people did not properly inspect and service the car.

Well guys I need help I will be doing a tranny swap and putting a 5 speed in my MR. I need someone to help me take my old one out or take it out for me. Automax faxed my VIN to Mits so they can void all warranty left on my car. I had a dealer back home that would hook me up.

Automax is too much by the book. You might be flagged, but the warranty won't be completely voided. If your power window goes out, it would still be covered since the tranny is unrelated.

I will let everyone know when I am ready to take it out. I am getting a 5 speed from MR. Sheperd himself. I will be taking my 6 speed out and putting the 5 speed in the same day, this way it is a one day event and not a continued one. I will post up when I receive it in the mail. Thanks for all the helping hands...
