i started my dads car after sitting since november and washed his and my cars and cleaned em out. my car desperately needed it. i found like 10 empty cigarette packs and countless reciepts. guess thats what happens when the gf drives my car for a week.
made a video of the cold starting. kinda long but good if you're into that sorta thing or are extremely bored. lol.

Saturday, I dropped my transmission pan on my truck. One of the shift was definitely bad since I could see the coil inside of it. The other shift solenoid was also bad, tcc solenoid might be bad, range selector is bad, and the trans. temp. sensor is bad, which I had to buy a new internal wiring harness since you can't buy the sensor by itself.
Also added a drain plug to the transmission pan.

I installed a mirror from a Saturn Vue. It took a little work as it has the 16 pin connector. I couldn't get the pins out of the connector, so I made an adapter. I think I'm going to have to get the sensor from the Vue because the temperature don't work right. I guess each sensor is calibrated to the mirror from the vehicle it came from, but I'm probably wrong..

I almost drilled a hole then welded a nut on to the pan.
I'm not sure which vehicle you're looking for, but I think for almost any RWD GM transmission they probably make one.
