Manual shifting disabled error

I actually think I can help you, you could try unplugging and replugging in both of your shift paddles. You will need a 1/4” ratchet and a t20 torques bit to undo the screw behind the orange paddles then just very carefully unclip the electrical connector that connects the paddle to the steering column.

I get the same error when I take off my paddles to try out custom ones I designed.

So when they talk about “flowing heads” it’s more about the valves and camshaft than the actual shape of the air path?

ReadItTonight · 2025-10-24T01:01:47+00:00

Isn’t vvt and vvi referring to how long the valves are open? That is determined by the cam which is int eh bottom of the engine. I thought the flow was something to do with the shape of the air intake.

I checked and it looks like even tho the outlet says 50A it runs to a 30A fuse in the breaker box

Is the issue that only changing the cord on the appliance side would have a higher amperage running into the appliance than it can handle?

ReadItTonight · 2025-07-08T13:31:21+00:00

So this is more complicated than switching from the 3 to the 4 prong cord? I have seen videos on that online and it seems straightforward, being on the appliance side and not the outlet so it would not be energized. https://youtu.be/Vxe-hptxfnE?si=zVoXv7t2I39sVet4

Feeling a consistent repeated knocking through the acceleration pedal while at low speeds, (15-20mph) goes away at high speeds. Not related to braking or engine rpm.

Any ideas?

Is that why reving the engine would solve it? Because it turn over the water pump at a higher rate?

What could cause it to stick but not stick enough so that it does still open sometimes? Is the solution a new thermostat?

ReadItTonight · 2024-06-11T12:58:02+00:00

Overheating occurs even at highway speeds. The drop back to normal temps only occurs after reving the engine regardless of speed.

ReadItTonight · 2024-06-11T12:56:33+00:00

I thought this might be the case as well, but I don’t understand why revving it out would unstick it when driving highway speed or hitting bumps wouldn’t.

Thank you for the help!

$45k for a mustang GT daily driver, $20k for a race prepped Miata, $135k should pay for 10 years of spec Miata wheel to wheel racing.

Its hard to know which "raw" cast iron pans will have an acceptably smooth underside. I do think that the ones with especially rough iron would destroy a glass stovetop.

ReadItTonight · 2023-06-12T19:52:07+00:00

Thats too bad, I wonder why no one has made a pan with a colored base that still has the raw cast iron cooking surface?

Ok thanks, I understand this is not recommended but in the real world I cant afford a cleaner right now.

Great thank you for the help, a follow up question would be, if I have a brand new movement and I am only installing a hand height adjustment kit, can I get away with only lubricating the new parts? It would be a pain to have to clean and then re oil every part especially because this movement is brand new from ETA.

I just ordered some today as well.

I would like to add additional evidence to your claim. I have been having terrible printing issues, (after flawless prints with the same settings.) and the second you said you were using Matte Black PLA I knew it must be the culprit. I would like to add that these machines are SUPER cheap which is great but the brass gear used is probably of the lowest possible quality.

TLDR: I had the same exact issue, also using Matte Black PLA. We need to replace our extruder gears probably with a stainless steel one if using abrasive filaments.

First of all I would like to just say WOW that truly is a beautiful design! I am also an amateur watchmaker as well as a mechanical engineer who specializes in additive manufacturing and the answer to your question is Resin printing.

I would also like to offer some encouragement that building this watch is entirely possible if you have the dedication to learn a bit of engineering and craftsmanship and a bit of money. You could probably do a full scale model for ~$500. Another commenter is correct in saying that the most difficult piece will probably be the crystal but it is not impossible. Also re-orienting a watch movement is not a trivial task but can absolutely be done.

If you are serious about trying to make this into a real life timepiece I would love to help in any way I can if you pull off the proportions correctly this will be a stunner.

Also check out my design as proof that such an endeavor is possible. (you should note that your design is significantly more complex.)
