2002 sc430. transmission dip stick is very hard to re-insert. it goes down about 2/3 of the way, then gets sorta stuck. must hold stick very tight using thumb and index, then push down real hard. i talked to dealer about it. they said that's normal, and just bad design! i noted that the stick is twisted about 30% near the end, and was told that's the way it is. has anyone noticed the same, that the transmission dip stick is hard to re-insert all the way down? thanks.

i ordered key & cut at www.toy-lex.com. they're slow to reply, but seems legit. email ohiovalleylocksmith@comcast.net address Tami Calhoun. ask for help.

have you tried reloading the old original dvd back ? if you regain full function then i guess the new 7.1 gen is not compatible. Once you update the GPS from Ver 1.0 (Original) to the NEW 7.1 Version on the Gen 2/3 it will not allow you to go back to Version 1.0 but yes I did try to re-load the old original Version 1.0 no go..... bummer...im sure you considered loading 6.3 version (if it allows you to). saw many postings on that. sorry cant help im a newbie. best of luck.

thanks for the reassurance. got a scare after placing order for key & cut using vin. toy-lex does not confirm order till 7 hours later. they don't return call nor reply to email. i still haven't heard from them but stick with it, trusting that they're legit ...
