I'll post pics ASAP!

I cant wait to see the pics. I am kicking myself for not saving up more cash to get the GTP! All I needed was $500 more and would had a 01 GTP. I was without a car for a year, so I can not wait any longer!

Ha wow man I gotta have a vehicle of some type or I'd go crazy! But thanks for the warm welcome. I'll take some pics of her tonight!

definitely going to get pics up asap but today I had yet another problem with the car I'm assuming the shift cable is getting hung up somehow or may be broke somewhere along the line. Whats happening is I can push my shifter from drive to park but it will not pull back down. anyone have this problem and know a quick fix?? (the linkage is all hooked up properly at the shifter and I can still shift it manually from under the hood) thanks in advanced!

I can't get that button to move at all. I'll go try it again with a little more "finesse" And will do DanPrixGTP!

got the shift lock release button to push down but it didn't help the matter. Also I dont see what the shift lock release even does? it doesn't even make contact with anything when pressed all the way down. Any other ideas to help with my shifting problem? thanks again!

also i forgot to mention that the shifter will move down from park it just doesnt bring the tranny with it. it will however push the gears from drive to park

yea i can manually change gears from under the hood but when the shifter is being moved nothing under the hood moves. I'm assuming the cable is broke or hung up somewhere. I was just hoping someone may have had this happen before and had a quick fix for it!

haha nosir tis not! LOL but thanks! hopefully I can get it back in running order asap.

Yea I know I'm slacking! I'm waiting for it to be fixed so I can take it to a local lookout point to take pics!
