THE VEHICLE WILL INITIALLY HAVE THE SPEED ODOMETER DROP TO 0 MPH WHILE STILL MOVING. A "WRENCH" LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE ALONG WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER AND NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. ONCE THE VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP, THE DRIVER MUST PUSH THE ACCELERATOR DOWN UNTIL THE TACH READS APPROX. 3000 RPMS BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL START MOVING AGAIN.
