Re: [DML] Headlight Conversion / Automatic Transmissions?

["videobob11" <videobob@xxxx>]

Thanks for the advice about the auto's.
I test drove the car today, and it seemed to shift ok.
I don't know how one is supposed to shift, it wasn't as smooth
as my Ford Taurus, but it didn't jerk or clunk.
It did seem to wind up a little, usually when you stomp on it which is
to be expected.
I forgot to try the 1st and 2nd gears by themselves though, I will do
that next time.
I did check the trans fluid, it looked a little brown and did
smell a little burnt, as burnt as hot tranny fluid from a hot
engine will smell.
What does that mean?
What should I do about it?

Can an AUTO be converted to a STICK?

One thing I noticed, the foot room.
I have BIG size 13's wearing steel toed Doc Martins.
My big snow shoes barely fit in there.
I had to stuff my left foot to the side, and turn my right
a little sideways and press the bottom tip of the gas with the
inside ball of my foot because there was barely room for my entire
shoe, as it was hitting the brake a little.
This makes me think that I could not even drive a stick because
I don't see where I am going to put my feet.
I am so tall, I had the seat all the way back, I am basically
laying down in the car like a woman getting a gyno!

I also noticed that my forarm kept hitting the damn window switch!
Am I the only one who has had this problem?
I was thinking that maybe I could move the switched over and have
the two dummies on my side. Anyone ever do that?

Well, I will find out if I can handle the stick Sunday as
I will be test driving one out of town to check it out.
It will be a 3 hour drive away just for the experience
but I think it is worth it.

I will keep you posted!
