Ran into an Associate of Mine and told him about this issue and he appeared oblivious. He said he will do the bypass but didn't appear to have any urgency.
This guy has never had any Engine or Trans issues and has 200+ on his Path. I guess there are a few out there eh?
It's like coming across a 98-02 Accord TL Odyssey TL CL etc. With 150-200k With no transmission issues. (I'm an independent used car dealer so I know just about every manufacturer has their issues)
Wow
I guess I'm just letting you guys know that there is at least some form of hope out there.
