Once you use them a few times they will probably free up quite a bit, they get stiff from not being used.

Huh...did that. Still pretty solid. They sound like they're caught right about where your shoulders go while seated; but behind the seat.

Yes. Just did. Each of the three locks work independently, but don't lock or unlock the others.

It usually stays on. It has turned off briefly...and has been off when I started the car first time in the morning. It was off for the test drive, but turned on on the way home on the freeway. There was one trip across town when it didn't turn on at all. ?????
The fluid level is good in the reservoir.

I hope I can keep it functional. Is there a way to tell if it's working right?
Question: The tranny fluid is too full. Could that trip the light?
