Thanks guys! I think I may go the "ghetto-tastic" way, especially if it will do the trick. It all depends on whether or not we can get to the compressor easily. I popped the hood this morning to take a peak and was surprised at how much I could see of it. Now, being able to do anything to ...

OK, so how in the heck can a husband and wife do this clutch shimming? I've read a ton about it today, and it makes sense. But getting at the compressor sounds like a real pain.

I bought it 5 years ago at 51K miles. I remember even then, when I would shift from P to D, it seemed like it lagged in ge...
