    Bugs on the front bumper

    Believe it or not, I use liquid lighter fluid. Bugs and remnants come right off. Then I wash w warm soapy water, dry. Once a year clay bar, and maintain with Meguires spray detailer. Bumper looks like new. Now if I could only find a way to eliminate rock chips as easy.

    Me I use Chevron 93, and every 4th tank I'll add a pint of Techron Injector cleaner. No problems with plug RR, or carbon build up. Just my $.02 worth.

    Try re-tighening the two torx head bolts that bolt the shifter handle to the base, also use Loc-tite on the threads. I had the same problem until I did this. No more problem.
