[QUOTE="Tabres, post: 16369820, member: 8059"] There probably isn't a whole lot to worry about with a 100% stock car. Regarding the TSB, unless the car is behaving like it is running hot, I wouldn't let the stock temperature gauge scare you if it shows the engine running warm. The factory water temperature gauge is notoriously inaccurate. Same goes for the oil pressure gauge. It is just a dummy light in the form of a switch. It'll show pressure if it senses anything above 6psi. The T45 transmissions are kind of known for being difficult to get into reverse sometimes. Double clutch it and it should go straight into reserve, otherwise they're a very smooth shifting transmission normally. I'd suggest giving a good look at subframe rails. It wasn't uncommon to find people using them as jacking points and the rails become easily damaged that way. In addition to what others mentioned before setting out on a 250 mile journey, check the condition of your coolant hoses. These cars can be difficult to burp air out of and a roadside hose change is not something you really want to be doing. [/QUOTE]
