I have taken both panels off under car and cannot figure out how to replace bulbs. I can disconnect electrical contact and remove small 10mm screw, but assembly will not slide out. Any help would be appreciated......

 

Tap the lamp from the inside (hitting outwards) with a screwdriver, hammer, mallet, or whatever you can. Just make sure you don't tap too hard... Push outwards and catch/stop the lamp.

 

At the top of the foglamp assembly there are two grey pins held in place with white fasteners, should these be pulled first, or no relation to installation. Car is a 2001 @0th Anniversary Model and I found it easy to replace headlamps with PIAA's but foglamps are a pain......

I would also like to know more about the transmission stall between 1st and 2nd. I thought it may be unique to this model and have not questioned dealer.....

 

Check out "cmon Punkdork... Send me the new tranny tsb through my email... " for a copy of the slippage.

Does that look like your assembly? If yes, just push it outwards.

 

If your traany is slipping, take it to the dealer and try and get them to work on fixing it. It may turn in to a bigger problem later on which may involve replacing the entire tranny....be sure to get the TSB....

 

wellz...u just gonna have to bang it out now..
