You may want to consider replacing the Ignition Switch, very inexpensive and easy DIY that cures all types of electrical ills.......

thstone gives good advice on checking the DMF.
It is easy to measure the wear incorrectly. The DMF wear parts cost pennies but are inaccessible & unobtainable! It offends my engineering sensibilities to hang that very heavy ,poorly balanced lump off the end of the crankshaft. I had my new one balanced before fitting. The expected life of a new DMF is about 80k miles.

Replace Ignition Switch
That's a great write up. Found the part for $18 shipped. I'll add it to my list.

Back!!!

She's back! Clutch kit, flywheel, IMS, RMS, various gaskets, etc. Bill just shy of $2000 which I get to split with my good friend that started this whole adventure.

As for the stuck top, checked the fuses, relay, switch, all good. Pressed down on the clamshell and we have lift off!

Now on to this.



Tahoe vs A3… Tahoe owned by another friend. They need to keep away from my cars!
