When I first got my D, it had similar problems. Turned out that the multi-switch on the transmission was physically damaged. Probably nailed by a rock or some such. It didn't look very damaged, but the alignment is kind of critical, so it was enough. Replacing the switch fixed it (those switches come with new shift computers, so lots of people have them on their shelves--ask around). --Pete Lucas VIN #06703 On Aug 30, 2004, at 10:31 AM, Dave Swingle wrote: > --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Thomas Mc Auley <dmc4087@xxxx> wrote: >> Ok Dave/David, I have both of the connections out on the gearbox, > what exactly am I looking for or supposed to do?
