Just a heads up for those with 4/5 speeds standards. Keep a few shift rod locking clips in your glove box. Was pulling out of the laundramat last Sat. and no shifty/no goey. Looked under the car and there hung an unconnected shift rod. Luckily a hardware store was a block away so I went and got some locking c clips to get me home. The original is the same clip used for the autobox shift cable I've been told. I've driven this car every day for over two years now and this is my first brake down. I'm almost embarrassed to drive such an unreliable car.
