Trans A/M Switch Needed
I have had a problem in the past couple of months regarding my transmission shifting by itself into manual mode, and staying there, without being able to be switched back, and then later returning to Auto. Finally, after getting annoyed to the point of no return, I swapped the Trans switch (next to gearbox shifter) with the sunroof switch, and problem solved! I was able to switch back and forth from Auto to Manual, without a problem... Now I need to pick up a new trans switch.

have not picked one up yet. POSITIVE its the switch. Swapped switches, using the sunroof switch, was able to switch flawlessly back and forth from Auto to Manual. I then left in Auto position, and swapped with the original trans switch, it immediately went to Manual mode, and would not switch out. unplugged switch, put sunroof switch back on, but back in Auto, disconnected and was good to go.

Very soon! I plan to drive down to Alabama on the 16th of april, so I definitely need to have them done by then. I was thinking about throwing on some lowering springs... But heard that Vogtland, brand I was going to go with, lowers a bit low for the v8's. Any suggestions?
