Car Forum / Saab Cars / July 2007spinning shift knob 93 9000 CSET
The shift knob & shaft are turning in my hand when I shift. Is there an adjustment somewhere? > The shift knob & shaft are turning in my hand when I shift. Is there an > adjustment somewhere? Yes I had that one too; I recently replaced the gear knob. It's also a MOT failure. Actually someone replaced it for me. This does require some skill as the gear know is not meant to come off easily. >> The shift knob & shaft are turning in my hand when I shift.

In my State, I can have a blinking SRS, check engine light, ABS on and still pass inspection. >You poor guys. The MOT Czar is really picky.

Or rather we paid through the State income tax or insurance or gas tax. I rather like the no nonsense approach to car inspection. They looked at the safety related items only. Let's see if the check engine light causes your car to break down, it won't run. ABS light? Plenty many cars on the road still do not have ABS so why pick on it when it is not working. The regular brake still works. SRS light? Seat belt alone is sufficient. Plus many cars still do not have airbags. >> >You poor guys. The MOT Czar is really picky.

The MOT just means: "It is still as safe as with the original test"... Richard. > The shift knob & shaft are turning in my hand when I shift. Is there an > adjustment somewhere? There must be. My mechanic fixed mine. I'll ask him next time I see him.  SignatureThese photos are only of a very tiny fraction of the thousands of Iraqi Civilian Victims who have been terrorised, humiliated, injured, maimed and killed through British and American bombing of civilian areas in various cities of Iraq. Due to lack of security, independent reporters could not and still can not reach many areas to photograph and report the atrocities. Several independent reporters and journalists were deliberately bombed to prevent them reporting the atrocities. Please note that some of these pictures are not suitable for small children and those who have weak hearts. http://www.robert-fisk.com/iraqwarvictims_mar2003.htm http://mindprod.com/iraq.html -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
