Ok, yesterday I read some posts here about the "no clutch" shift. Well lastnight I tried it and it worked, but I remember I used to do this when I was "power shifting" in a race or whatever back in the 70's. Does this hurt the trany or the driveshaft? I rather use the clutch myself, it just feels right. Ok next question. I also read about the DDL and to pull the fuse to shut them off. I did this , but first of all the instrument light for the DDL was still on and the sensor didn't turn the lights on at dusk while in the running/fog lamp position.(im sure it did before). I think im going to put the fuse back in. And what about the sensor adj. for dusk/night headlamps, does this have anything to do with what I was talking about?
And on another "note" (this is sad) I was fueling up lastnight and while the gas was pumping I went to check the oil. With the hood up, this car pulled up to the opposite pump with some teenagers in it. (17-19 yo) They were very impressed with the "power plant" and asked if it was a 6 cyl...lol..I said,"no its an 8" and proceded to tell them about it. (it was like they never seen an 8 cyl before) Then they asked, what kind of Pontiac it was.(yikes I was floored) I said it was a GTO (like it says all over the motor) so one of the kids said, "It must be a new model huh?" I said, Go ask your father about it or better yet, your grandfather....lol....Then I proceded to show them what a GTO is all about as I turned off the T/C and left the station in full GTO glory. (use your imagination)
