Probably a smart move...

 

Yeah. The other thing that gets me is in his craigslist pics, it still has a temp tag on it. It makes me wonder why he's getting rid of it so soon after getting it...

 

just got mine from shop , too cold for this old man to work on . push button ,no shift. no sound . found cracked vacuum lines and crudded up actuator . new lines and cleanup . now it shifts fine . there is a post on this website describing a locking cable to make this a manual shift.
