i understand and appreciate all of that. especially the kickdown for trans, which is nigh impossible to talk somebody through-- and the OP is taking to a trans specialist so, good job there.
but seriously, on the seat? it took more time to post about it than to probably have a look at it and correct it. or to ascertain that "X" is broken, how to i repair that?
i firmly believe that everybody has the ability to learn, but sometimes it just seems that they don't want to put in the most basic of effort or time. like, pour yourself a tall one and sit back and peruse the forum and youtube. refamiliarize yourself with the things and processes you kinda sorta remember from way back when.
going in armed with even the smallest amount of knowledge helps tremendously.
