    On my STS the Traction/Stability Control was on one side of the Gearshift, on the other side was the 4 way Flasher. This car has the AWD and Traction/Stability Control Buttons next to the Shifter. At least the STS Shift Lever could be used for Manual up/down shifting. The XT5, only has some...

    Are these power packs interchangeably?

    Looking on the Marine Engine Dot Com, site, neither of them update to any Shared Part#. Close #wise, doesn't mean Close to the Same. In reality, Close is only valid with Horseshoes, Grenades, and Nuclear Weapons

    Nothing in front showing where the Tires are in relation to the Hoist Ramps, and nothing that indicates you are still centered, as you drive Forward. As for backing in to Parking Stalls, I usually try to find a Stall where I can drive thru to the Next Stall, that way I can leave going Forward...

    Turn the Key, it it doesn't catch and run, give it a bit of Throttle. Unless you are boating in sub-freezing Temps, the Motor isn't going to cool down too much in an hour. If it still doesn't want to run, try a bit of Choke, with the Throttle still advanced If still no Joy, the Engine needs some...

    That design did cross my mind when I wrote the initial response. It makes some sense, as that is not a Drain Plug, but a Vent/Level Plug. To Drain the Transmission, the Pan is removed, and hopefully cleaned and the Filter replaced.
