Ewen Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 It lets you move the gearstick when the engine is turned off. This question and other similar ones can be answered yourself by using the search button and typing in a few sensible words. Welcome by the way, and post some pics of your car...not in the technical section though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartan Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Surprisingly, this doesn't appear as a question in it's own right under FAQs. I believe the first row of Japanese symbols, "シフトロツワ", are written in Katakana and phonetically spell: "shi fu to ro tsu ku" which, if you say it fast enough with the corners of yours eyes pulled back, sounds a bit like "Shift Lock". I assume that the second row says the same thing but written in Kanji. The only use for it I have found is, it's easier to remove the surrounding trim piece (as the first step in dismantling the dash. - how many times have we all done that?!) if the stick is in Neutral.

Nice to see at least some people are happy to answer a newbies questions without stupid remarks even if the same question has been asked a lot of times.

SupraStar 3000 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I think we should have a new rule. Introduce a ratio of 10 stupid remarks to 1 correct answer. Its up to the 'question asker' to weed out the answer. Fun for all the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keancy Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Dont see you answering many That as maybe Hun but at least I refrain from giving a completely useless answer instead she's a woman. They never answer questions, only ask more. Only kid'in. I tend to only answer questions when I am sure I can give the correct reply, in fear of getting the pi** taken out of me for saying the wrong thing, but then that's just how this Forum works at times . There are more then likely plenty of other people who feel the same and don't answer in certain threads because there is always some Internet Police (wo)man waiting in the wings to diss your spelling on a reply.
