Clutch is worn out. Get it fixed before the rivets ruin your flywheel!

Thats priority #1. Im planning to replace the flywheel also, the shop told me the PO has been putting it off for a while so assuming everything is worn. Going to do the IMS while im in there.

Going to be a fun weekend

You can take the "PILL" for the immobilizer out of the key and mount it in the top of the rubber trim for the ignition key. You remove the trim and use good electrical tape and a zip tie to hold it in and reintall the trim.

Not my idea.....read it on this forum.

I will look for the post on this.

I have done it on my 2003 and had 2 spare keys cut. Bought the keys on eBay for a few bucks. Had them cut for $40 each at a locksmith.
