Re: [DML] A/T new question

[Bryan Pearce <bryanp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tom,

Just an FYI... when you remove the fuse from the A/T computer, your  
car should be in third gear.  This is useful to know if you are a  
distance from home when the computer fails.  At least you will be  
able to drive at highway speeds in 3rd gear.
