Re: Magnetic tool retriever
Well ... I tried to retrieve it with one of those rare earth magnets (very strong) and a wire hanger. The magnet manage to get loose from the hanger and now is stuck inside the door for an eternity....

Re: Magnetic tool retriever
I never touched it - came loose on its own (apparently a common problem for my vehicle from youtube videos).
I may do this.

Re: Magnetic tool retriever
Thanks. I definitely need one that can FLEX. The opening at the top requires a 90 degree turn to reach the bottom. I'm just wondering if I need anything that powerful or if just about any of them...

Re: Modern Day Automatic Transmission
I don't know where you got those numbers from, but they aren't accurate. The bias is clearly evident. :D I don't have the 'turbo' model - I have the better MPG model and average about 36, combined...
