    Yeh I think ill need more then PB to break it loose its stupid rusted down there and they did a ****ty job on the u-bend del. They used smaller diam. pipe to join the flange and dp together Was going to cut it out and use larger diam. pipe to put it back together that way it don't have a restriction in the pipe right there. and ATM my garage is full of junk everywhere can barely stand in front of the car. I got his house right before winter so everything extra kinda got shoved in there. I don't have any plywood on-top the beams so i cant store stuff up there.

    But anyway. Yeh the car has always had the shift issue since I owned it nothing new. I didn't know if it had to be set up to vin. But I didn't have the extra cash to get it mapped to my vin. I also have to fix the oil pan which leaks like *****. I think I just need a new one its prolly rusted out. Too dam cold around here at the moment to go tearing stuff apart. Plus it also needs a new MAF........ Lots of little jobs that require time/money. I need to hit up the junkyard lol.

    I did just try to pull the front 02 but even with it being pulled forward (as much as my POS ratchet strap could handle) I couldn't break it loose. (although I didn't try for very long)
    When I get my air-compressor here I'm going to try to unbolt the DP That way I have my impact to use. Soon I will have everything fixed on it so it can go to another good home. I need a truck bad and that car is the weak link. As soon as I get the extra cash the 06 is going to undergo the new motor/trans mod. Since both are starting to go down hill. The Trans is just about shot for the 5th time. This time Its the clutches going bad. Slips from 3rd to drive. And I even tryed taking it easy on this one. Oh well. Its just tooo hard to give up the prixs even though they have cost me a tonnn of money and work. I do love them dearly.

    To loosen the O2 I just use an O2 socket and a ratchet and maybe a little pb if it needs it. As far as the PCM goes, most places will flash your VIN into it before they ship it out, I see them go for 30-50 bucks all the time. Since the dumbass who fiddled with the tune set the shift points at 5K, who knows what else the messed with.....could even be why you keep trashing transmissions and at this point you might as well get a whole new trans since the one you have seems plagued.
