    STOCK VEHICLE: Just went out to drive around and decided to try some first gear, t/c off jumps. First one was fine. Now the seems to be a shimmy in the rear end when I take off. Tried it several times and it doesn't go away. It is really noticeable if I give it a ~80% romp. Opinions?

    Also, I have made appeals to to find a good dealer in the Merced, CA area and was, understandably, not given any options. I have five days off next week and could go just about anywhere (well, within 2-3 hours) to have it looked at by an experienced tech. Can I get some recommendations?

    Try a full launch with t/c on and see if it does it. If it does then pull the abs pump fuse this will elemanate the t/c completly and see if this helps. The abs pump fuse is in the fuse box toward the back of the firewall and is a 30 amp pink fuse.
