I'm thinking of getting one of these, because when HICAS comes on, it feels like the power steering has shut off, and frankly that don't feel too good.

How much are these, in general, and where would I look to get one? I wanna make sure I get a decent one, then obviously I'll have to work out a way to install it. :yes:

PS: Just because the hicas light comes on doesn't necessarily mean that the hicas is the faulty item. There can be many causes of the light coming on some of which a hicas lock bar will not fix.

It's not on permanently, just randomly, it seems. When I notice the wheel becoming sluggish, the light is usually on.

Power steering fluid level is perfect. *shrug*

Let me give you an example. There are 4 screws on the back of the cluster. if any one of them is lose, the hicas light will come on and you'll drop powersteering.

A faulty speedo can do the same.

Basically anywhere along the line can cause the light to come on.

I hope for your sake that the bar will fix it.

I'd assumed so, seeing as the steering feels crappy when the light is on; kinda like I'm back in my old Daewoo. (sad, I know.)

Of course its gunna feel crappy! Its not working properly... Thats what a warning light is trying to tell you :)

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
