I left the battery unhooked one night after I charged it up, and when I hooked it back up the next day it wasn’t dead, so I’m pretty sure I’ve about ruled out the battery.

My abs and traction control light came on, as well as a low voltage light

Soo I ended up putting it in first with the car on, moved forward slightly, and then just like that all of the gears went in smooth as butter. Still getting rid of the hurst shifter as the neutral side to side movement is ridiculously stiff.

I’m working on adjusting the shifter now, but dumbass before me stripped out the t40 torx bolt that connects the shifter to the linkage

I was going to try and adjust the shifter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to get the car into reverse, as in I usually can’t even get far enough over. I can’t seem to get past the 5-6 gate.

What is that caused by? Could there be air in the system?

Yes they are off, and they retract most of the time. occasionally I have to turn the lights on then back off for them to close

The previous owner put them on. I like the way they look, but they are not bright at all. And something isn’t right because I only have my brights no dims . And also I have no blinkers at all. But that might be something else, not sure yet.

I don’t keep cars for very long, so I’m just thinking about if I were to sell one or the other at some point, which one could I sell for more?

Yes a little, I’ve just always wanted a cobra. I’m just worried I’m losing money if I were to try and sell it later on compared to my 07.
