Wrong forum thread lol

Get (or borrow) an OBD2 port reader, check the fault code.
Without it, we cannot tell if it's a $100 fix or a $5,000 fix.
Anything could be a "transmission fault".

I especially love the centre console organiser.

Ahhh, makes sense now!

Wtf what do the green dots mean, I know you told me to ignore them but I'm so curious now

Good thinking honestly, it's an idea I certainly haven't heard before

I believe Tywhiteguy is after the yellow part; the little bin forward of the shifter.
