I got my car back. On my way home, the TPMS light came on.... I'm really pissed. I took video of it this time.

Also, I noticed that the cotton padding is missing from my shifter. Where'd it go?

really?? I took that thing out when I installed the SS and I didn't notice much of a difference. After a few days, I couldn't tell the difference anymore.

You sure it's not in there?

I took the whole thing apart, it's gone.

Can you ask your friend where it could be?

rodger: I talked to Jeff and he said he installed everything. You sure the dealership didn't take out the shifter when checking your transmission???

hmm, I guess it is possible.

Well, if he said he installed it, then I'm sure he did.
