BTW...neutral safety switch adjustment has absolutely nothing to do with brakelights. Not even on the same circuit.
I assure you that you are wrong. The neutral safety switch incorporates the backup light switching. I posted in ...

Re: No torque converter lockup or cruise control, shifter lock..
I was thinking stuck brake switch until you mentioned the solonoid, but then I wonder how the vehicle, electrically anyway, knows where the gear selector is. Is it through the Neutral Safety switch?

Don't grease your brake rotors!!!
You don't do that, do you? Are you sure?? The backing plate on my '94 is non-existent where it really should be: right next to the ball joint grease cup. On my car, they are torn/split and grease flows out of them freely. Guess where it could land? On the brake rotor! I have never greased my rotors ...

Re: Grease! (Not Olivia and John)
Since I lube every 6 mionths, I use name brand dino lube or what ever name brand is on sale. Usually $2.99 a tube or less.
I lube at every oil change. I even CHANGE grease sometimes. Note what comes out of the overflow ports (make sure your vehicle has them before you go pumping up your boots and ...

Tony, we tried a wiki format for Techinfo on the old forum before we left. It was cumbersome, troublesome, and difficult to manage.

bigger rotors but i believe a stock 2000 ssei weighs in at 3750 or so. but i'm not arguing that they didn't screw up i just didn't want someone else shopping rotors to stay away from cross-drilled slotted thinking they were the next tornado air system....

Re: How to bleed brakes
Start by filling the master cylinder reservoir and replacing the cap.
I suggest removing pretty much all of the fluid in the master cylinder with a turkey baster and replacing it with new fluid. Do not aerate the fluid! You may only be able to get the front brake fluid without some more evolved ...

Dad has GY Tripletreds on the 2004 PAU. They have restored my faith in GY, but then again, these are $600+ a set new, even at the cheaper places like Tire Rack and Discount Tire Direct.
