Sorry I didn't clarify... my problem is with the Proton. I replaced the mode switch on the Ironman. the engine accelerates but the power isn't being put in motion. It rev's as I accelerate but went now where. Then it kicked in on the second try. It was as if I put it in Neutral though it was in drive. My Ironman did that a few times before I replaced the mode switch... but i didn't think it was related. Now with the 2nd VX I think it may be another sign of the mode switch going bad.??? I don't know. I went and had the tranny fluid flushed today, since the previous owner said it had never been flushed!!! YIKES! It has 80K miles on it...don't know how that one was allowed to slide??? Gave the Proton the Granite Auto Grooming Detail (i.e. the really expensive but the better than brand new one) today. So in the past 2 weeks she has had an oil change, a tranny flush, a detail, and a full tank of gas...Totaling...$700...I love my VX!!!! I just wish money grew on trees.
