HyperCube33 \(Life2Death\)[_76_]
Well it's been about two months so its time for my car to breakdown!

manual ION shifters by
marx404
I am thrilled with my new Ecotec engine! My manual '07 ION.3 2.2L has a
great clutch, but the shifter feels like absolute sh*t, cheap, caca,
etc...it feels like I am forcing it into gear and it goes with all the
smoothness of operating a forklift lever.
I have noticed on used IONs that the...

93 Saturn - hard to downshift by
njot
We have a 93 Saturn SL2 w/ an automatic trans. A lot of times, such
as going up a hill with the transmission in 4th gear, it will not
downshift into 3rd, even if I press harder and harder on the
accelerator. Sometimes the car will slow down to 35 mph and the
engine is lugging, yet still it will...

OBX exhaust header for a 1996 SC2 by
Theodore Wong
Hello all:
I'm getting a loud noise from underneath the car that suggests that
there's a hole in the downpipe or flex-pipe that connects the exhaust
header to the catalytic converter. I thought I might take the repair
as an opportunity to upgrade to a stainless-steel exhaust header.

Looking to save some gas on longer trips, and needing a new clutch
anyway, I want to switch my '94 SL2 to the SOHC 5spd. Is it only the

advice from someone selling a 2nd gen SOHC tranny and a mechanic.
