Everything is fixed. Rear splash shields are installed, TSB for fuel cut is fixed, Rear shims on brakes which keep them from rattling over bumps fixed (no more rattles

), and my powerseat switch fixed.

The CAR drives different, its smoother on shifts, and no longer has that issue with the bucking lower rpms!! It feels like a NORMAL 5SPD! This is a must do!

Can you describe exactly what the proplem feels like, cuz I have a 5spd and mine seems to do it between 1k & 2k rpms. Every morning I drive in lots of heavy traffic (that's NY for ya) and my car feels like one of those rodeo mechanical horses (not that I've ever been on one). Everything else I've read about this here seems to have been in the 2k - 3k range. Is it just me or is it my car? I would greatly appreciate input from anyone on this. Thanks

Haulin -

Check the previous threads...I think this is happening from @ 1500RPM up to about 3000RPM. Mine does it in every gear, including 5th on the highway (although it's not as bad as 1st/2nd). I'm waiting to see how the TSB fix works before I take mine in. My service manager wants to try it on my car now to see how it works, but I don't want to risk having a bigger problem if it doesn't. It's good to see that someone has had luck with it.
