I apologize. I did not list a price. 400 bucks. I do not notice any rips or tears. The 'car side' connectors are included.

Pontiac G8 Leather seats - fits 11-13 Caprice

I have a set of G8 Seats that will bolt in to a 11-13 Caprice. The connectors from the car side are included if you want to adapt the wiring. Alternatively, you can move the "skins" to your seats using your frame. These seats are in NW Indiana (think where Chicago meets Indiana). Please IM...

Re: Hesitation in downshifting when in sport mode

I've had auto transmissions misbehave after which I changed the fluid and had excellent results. My Honda Ridgeline was doing all kinds of bad things and seemed completely cured after 2 trans fluid changes. I did the same to a 2009 Vibe (Toyota) after it had a very odd 1-2 shift. Now fixed. Very odd...

Re: New Member intro.

Adding to my previous post.. Sport mode is when you move the shifter from drive to the right. You move into manual mode if you bump shift up or down - which is pretty nifty. Once you do this, it seems you're forced into doing most of the shifting. I like sport mode - where the shifting is all done f...

Re: New Member intro.

The 9C3 shifter is nice. Throw it in "sport mode" and it is a different car (move the shifter to the right when in drive). Enjoy! It seems to me that the shift points are moved up a bit and the throttle sensitivity is tweaked when you do this. I'd love to make this the "permanent"...

Re: Engine misfiring

I have a 13 with 65K miles. I had a miss that would eventually turn into a CEL. It didn't miss when cold. It seemed to start missing after 10 minutes of running. And it usually got worse over time as if it might have been missing on multiple cylinders. I changed the plugs and wires which made it run...

Re: Differential Mileage

I've got a 2.92 with ~56K miles. I'm in NW Indiana. Shipping might be prohibitive. I would take 100 plus the ride.

Re: Lucky '13

dang that sucks. the cylinder wall is probably not so good. you can have a cylinder sleeve installed... you may want a new block... if you are looking to do that, maybe a 6.2 block? In the end, you'll have a great car.
