    Shifter for atx

    I don't know if anyone has access to one, but I need a shifter for my atx. The shift button popped out of mine, so I guess I have to replace the whole shifter. Right now I'm using duct tape to secure the button Any help would be appreciated. Thanx, John

    Battery cut-off switch

    Thanks Shovert. Earlier in April 2011, I had a new AAA battery installed(800cca). Then after a mild 2011/12 winter the battery would lose .10 volts each day if not driven. Brought it to wiring specialist in May 2012 who diagnosed the problem as improperly connected wiring on the power amp. He...

    Battery cut-off switch

    Thanks for the suggestion. When the battery's charged and /or replaced, I'll check them out. Right now, I'm just paranoid about driving the sho without a cut-off. Thanx, john

    Battery cut-off switch

    Over the last year or so, somethings been draining the sho's battery when I let it sit for a while. Last year I found the source of one of the battery drains but there's something else draining on it. Does anyone know of a quality battery cut-off switch I could order? I know several are sold on...

    Go giants!!

    Too bad on Brady's final throw into the endzone that there were'nt more Patriots in proximity to the football as it came down. Not sure what the other Pats receivers were doing. I could only see Hernandez and Gronkowski in the immediate area as the ball came down. John

    AAA batteries

    Yeah, lol, gotta watch the syntax(?). During the winter, because of home duties, blizzards, a faulty crank sensor, the sho didn't get driven too much and I had to jump it about (4) or (5) times. Before starting it up on Saturdays, battery voltage reads about 11.4 volts, usually starts though...

    Sho died on road

    Ok, Monday morning I stopped in to talk with the mechanic and tried to leave with him a listing of possible causes compiled from the forum. He seemed to take offense and said he knew how to diagnose the situation. No big deal. Later, in the afternoon, he called and said that it was the the...

    Sho died on road

    I can't remember the last time the Sho stalled, it's been that long ago, but on route to do my errands, it did hesitate once. Thanks for the listings of things to check. I'll check the fuses though first. But once again, with the tach moving, I thought that meant that the cps was ok. We'll...

    Sho died on road

    Ok, I just thought that if the tach moved, that the cps was ok. John

    Sho died on road

    Driving home, Saturday afternoon from doing errands, the Sho died and I couldn't restart her. The engine turns normally, the tach moves to about 500 rpm's, I can hear the fuel pump kicking in, but no go. I checked the reset button in the trunk, that seemed to be ok also. A police car pushed...

    Brake Lines

    First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Monday, I was about to leave the local mall when I lost the Sho's brakes. The brake pedal went way down and I could barely stop the Sho from 10mph. Checked the fluid reservoir, it was filled, and no brake light was on. Put...

    Hard Starting Sho

    The tach moves when starting, I can hear the fuel pump prime, it doesn't seem to be sluggish, but the plugs and wires are original. John

    Hard Starting Sho

    I hadn't really planned on any major work on the sho, but earlier last year a mechanic suggested having the lower portion of the engine worked on (water pump, cps, etc.) since the sho had relatively low mileage but still getting up there in years. John
