Hi Guys; Apology for the much delay update. Instead of spending $98 from the Stealship for the OEM microswitch. I have ordered one from Amazon for $30 installed it and it worked beautifully with the original clip that I spent an hour looking for after I removed it two weeks ago. Please see...

Hi Teeje and Nohitter64, Thanks for sharing the hack. I wasn't as lucky though, as I dropped the microswitch after I pull-on it and the tiny littispring and the contact piece inside went their separate before I had a chance to solder it to make it work again. I am located in Canada Vancouver...

SlowcrawlerZJ , thank you. I will pick one up to try it out. I strange that I have called several Auto Parts store like Lordco and Napa they only have Motorad, Stanz and Gate for thermostat and no OEM one. Thanks again

Will do that, thanks for the sound advice. Very much appreciated

Thank you, I will check into that. Btw, I see that Prestone all vehicle coolant claims the are compatible with HOAT as well. Would you recommend to use that as they are cheaper then actual HOAT coolant.

Trying to pick up parts necessary to do the cooling system flush. The stealership wants $71 for an OEM thermostat that is an outrageous amount for a thermostat imo or Is that how much it cost now a days? We are not talking about the HOAT coolant yet.

Thank you KJowner for the great advice. I thought I can find the heater hose to add a Tee to do a complete flush like old days. I suppose this is a better and faster way to flush it out completely. Hopefully there's not too much gelling internally. I will pick up a new thermostat and get it done...

Seafish, thank you for your suggestion. It totally make sense if gelling is an end result by chemical reaction of the two different coolant. Are there any type of cooling system flush you could recommend to get rid of any or to clear most of the gelling or clogging byproduct within the system...

The green coolant was in the reservoir by previous owner. So I cantell if it is the correct HOAT or not. Do you think it will actually make a difference in the engine temperature with the cooling system?

I have just got my KJ back for some transmission work done to replaced the solenoid pack and now it is shifting properly. However, the engine temperature is past the half to 3/4 mark. It's a little to high for my comfort level. Every time I start the engine there is three chirping or beeping...

Got my KJ back from Boss Automotive, they have replace the solenoid did a complete service to the transmission for $1600 and it shifting and drives fine now as it should. However, engine temperature is still past the half to 3/4 mark for my comfort level as it seems to be a bit too high. I will...

Thank you for your suggestion, I have brought it to Boss Automotive who deals only on transmission. They figured its the solenoid issue together with a few other issue but a rebuild is not needed at a cost of about $1500. They haven't finished it yet, I hope that solves the problem. Thank you

I got a quote from Bose Automotive in Richmond to remove pan to replace solenoid and a bunch of other stuff for $15500-$1600 is that reasonable? Besides the P0700 there's also P0755 for shift solenoid B Or should I just get a used transmission instead?

Fluid is good, no burnt smell.

Thank for suggest Thanks for your suggestion. I brought my Datsun 280Z into Stan's in mid 80s to diagnose a minor rinding while shifting into second gear. They called me back a day later to tell me it needs a complete rebuild with bad syncro for $1300 which I do not have. So I told them to put...

Thank you will do that.

Thanks for the quick respond KLC, transmission fluid is good as with other fluids. Any recommendations for a good transmission shop?

Help ASAP please, I am new here and I have just bought this with an engine light believing seller that it's an O2 sensor and test drove it in an under ground parking only. When I got home and scanning with an OBD reader it came up with P0158 and P0700 with transmission control system (mil...

Scanned for the engine code and came up with these two code. Tried clearing it but came back in a few minutes. Have saw some post about clearing and resetting the TCM but haven't tried yet. Any instruction or suggestion would be much appreciated. Thank you
