Tire pollution from EV heavy vehicles are far worse than that of ICE.

Search this site, auto owner was missing his old manual. May be you two can swap.

I wouldn't buy the enture tube. Use appropriate hardening glue.

Mine went up $8 for three vehicles.

Ideally the spring should match the struts, paired, but you can just replace the springs. For me, I did the opposite -- I replaced OEM struts and shocks with Bilstein, right after having purchased a GT. It's more firmer, less bouncy.

So, that's what 2 horsepower difference feels like.

I made posts 10W-30 and 5W-40 appear too thick, feels sluggish accerlating. 5W-30 seems just right. Someone answered my post "pacebo". I'd say you and I can feel the car better than some folks.

^^^ You guys are killing me. I got ways to go (69 yo).

You're young and financially also, so just keep it stock, keep up with maintenance, is my advice. When you're older and financially comfortable, then mod all you want.

I checked my reverse lock sleeve by trying to move side to side in all directions. It does not move. Can you check yours? If it moves, then it must be missing a plastic sleeve bushing or something.

Try putting in the reverse lockout cavity with sponge material, pack it in tight.

Try locktite so the knob is "bonded" to the shifter rod thread tight. This will stop the rattle. You need to use Loctite stick, part no 37684, so it won't run down like the liquid one.

The pictoral installation instruction is for the RTR Shift Knob, so adjust accordingly for your knob.

Yes. If not tight you'll get the rattle.

Try some Blue Lockrite, or Install a nut (if space allows) and a lock washer.
