Request Joseph. Chevrolet Camaro L Friendly, thorough , and most importantly to me was not dismissive or condescending. My cursory knowledge of some Chevrolet's interesting design choices with the Camaro, coupled with Joe's experience and perseverance is how we both found upon the problem. Highly recommended. When I signed up for an appointment to have my camshaft sensor fixed it was saying it was going to take 1.

He ended up coming an hour earlier than scheduled which I was happy about and the service lasted about an hour. He was really professional and thoroughly explained things that was very helpful to me. He recommended some things on my next oil change that will help my car out.

At first I wondered if this was a good idea but I am thankful for someone who is not only willing to come to me but doing a great job at fixing my car. I would strongly recommend him and this company to other people. Terry 30 years of experience. Contact theskytoucher.

It turns on when you pull tt and off when you release it.

The spring helps the switch by keeping it from being pulled too far. That will cause nothing to happen when you turn the key. Step 1: Install the new neutral safety switch into the shifter housing.

Step 2: Place the floor shifter onto the floor board. Attach the harness to the floor shifter and place the floor shifter down onto the floor board. Step 3: Install the mounting bolts on the floor board. This safety feature is designed to avoid costly damage to your vehicle, as it may lunge forward or backward if it is in gear.
