'98 Forester-harsh 1st to 2nd shift by Stephen Early
I have a '98 Subaru Forester with automatic transmission and all wheel drive. The 1st to 2nd shift is very abrupt, even if you're accelerating gently. It feels even a bit more harsh than a full-throttle shift. The fluid was changed but that didn't help. One mechanic says there's nothing that...

changing headlights by I love Edsels
I have a 97 Ford Ranger and don't like the headlights. I've been told that replacing them w/ lights 01 or newer will make a big difference. Do they just bolt right into place like the existing ones? Or do I need to make some alterations? TIA Tom Seattle
