    nice going for mine in a month, what year is your g? that may explain the ses

    well i had no choice but to do it , my auto tranny was stuck on third gear for almost a month,

    the hardest part was to find all the parts and a garage really,

    i had to buy some parts twice, lost a week waiting for them, then the guy who was supposed to rent me the garage had a heart attack , so i had all the parts but no garage

    by calling all the local garages i was able to find a guy who worked with the heart attack guy for a couple of years, he called his wife and i was able to get it.

    but then the master i bought from the dealer didnt have the clutch reservoir ,

    the next monday came and i received another master ( which i had bought before chirstmas) and this one had the reservoir on it ( 2 G master)

    so i returned my 3 g master , got a refund , and finnaly was able to starty the swap

    got a full equiped garage with lift , heat and all tools for 7 bucks an hour
    i proposed 10/hr to the little old lady but she said she was no crook , so for almost 3 days of work i only spent 160 in garage time


    nice going for mine in a month, what year is your g? that may explain the ses
    its an 02 ES, goosey told me about a 2 wire harness behind the glove box, gonna check that this week or next

    I told you to check the wires because i though you said the airbag light was on. Other then that you will allways have the SES light cause you'r missing a dam auto transmission.

    my SES light is on ,

    i thought the SES light was the airbag light

    anyway i just checked behind the glove box and everythings plugged and a ok

    any idea why removing the auto tranny makes the ses light go on???

    brings me to another question, anyone knows how to blow the bags or to remove them unblown?

    SES........... service engine soon
    SRS...............Safety Restrain Supplement(airbags)

    Just pull the bulb for you SES light if it annoys you. But in the event of a real problem you wont know jack.

    Not how fast your car goes but how good u drive going fast.
