This morning I went for a little drive and everything was OK. Later on I worked for a little while installing aluminium pedals :clapping:

Later on I needed to move her and she don't start. Well I thought that battery had drained because I had the dook open and stereo on for a while when I was working. I hook up jumper cables and still nothing. Then I noticed that transmission light is on R. Also the shifter is very loose.

Did I lose the transmission or could that just be cable? Any ideas? :help:

I think you need to start by pulling off shift boot and knob (described here elsewhere). See if you can see the cable attached and whether it moves or not. Also, look to see if anything fell inside the shifter area that could block it's movement. If all that looks ok then you need to check the other end of the cable where it connects to the transmission.

All is OK. After 0.5hrs of labor shop found a disconnected electrical connector. :unsure:

They also replaced one of the O2 sensors, which had a bad heating element.

Tomorrow we have a little trip to Mammoth Lake, CA, with local PCA. It is gonna be a blast. :clapping: :drive:
