See if it occurs when you shift and gas quickly... or if you are at a complete stop and you slowly and purposefully shift into reverse. My Oddy will clunk when shifting into reverse the very first shift, but then all is good. I wouldn't worry about it until something actually breaks. I would...

Thanks, that is what I did. Seems good..

This may have been a result of the ebrake adjustment not being set correctly. Which brings me to my next question... ebrake adjustment.... Directions I have are to tighten until the wheel cannot be moved by hand and then loosen it. Do I loosen it just a little (and the rotor still drags a...

Could this be the neutral safety switch? Just a thought, but this has thrown a code for me in the past.

It was the brake calipers... so I got 3 bad calipers in a row from 2 different manufacturers. Just got a new one from Advance Auto.... see how the piston is fully in on the first pic but sticks out on the 2nd pic... I tried pushing that 2nd one in w/o it connected to the car and had the brake...

Maybe... but you usually feel vibration for motor mounts around 55-65mph range. Put it up on jack stands and take a look... maybe exhaust is loose or hitting shift linkage. That would be be my guess... also check radiator and anything else that connects to engine and transmission.

Well.... Caliper came in and it wouldn't fit over the brake pads and rotor... tried compressing the piston and it wouldn't go in any further. (NUGEON brand) Ordered another one (RAYSBESTOS) ... looks to be same issue... measured, have not tried to install.... but looks like I need another...

This is on the 03 automatic P5. hmmm, maybe. Checked again and the brake fluid was way low, so pretty sure it boiled off. I've got a replacement caliper on the way... if that doesn't work then I'll try a new brake line. Fortunately I have plenty of cars and can let this one sit until parts com in.

Replaced rear brake pads both rear calipers right rear brake line Everything worked fine for about 150 miles....then.... Left rear caliper seized and the person who was driving it said there was noticeable 'smoke' coming from the left rear wheel. The brake pedal is very soft and squishy now...

Yeah I won't pass in MD until they all are checked. Plan is to keep getting extensions until they don't give me one. Then fail it. At this point if I spend x dollars (not sure what it is) and it doesn't fix it then they will pass me. So, I'll take it to a shop and have them wrestle with the...

Update... 1) got an extension from April 28 to Sep 6 2) Still hasn't sorted itself out... no codes... but CAT Mon is still Pending... 3) Got another extension till Jan 10 - filled it out online, not sure why they keep granting me extensions, fine by me though

I have stock shifter and have replaced all my bushings with brass. My shifter vibrates at certain RPMs and is one of the few things that annoys me in the car. 1) Will this kit fix that or maybe make it worse 2) If this kit doesn't fix it... how would I fix it?

Yes. All of the ones that look the same are interchangeable... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08ZYXNKDZ/ https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=10115668&cc=1416833&pt=4936&jsn=848
