My daughter Britney has needed a TCM for several months now for her 93 Geo Metro, but we've been having no luck finding a good one. I told her I had a spare, so when she came out today we installed it. But alas, that one didn't work either. So I thought I would hit my favorite honey hole in Mt. Sterling, Ohio to see if I could find an 89-94 automatic. As soon as I walked to the lot, I saw the familiar landmark of the Geo on top of the school buses. ![]() ![]() Only this time I asked myself "What are the odds that it's an automatic?" So I made the perilous climb to the top of the school buses.....enjoy the view!! ![]() ![]() And VOILA!!! It was an automatic, and the TCM was still there!! ![]() It was still a crap shoot as to whether or not the TCM worked, but when I got it home we plugged it in, and wouldn't you know it, it worked! I've been going to that parts lot for probably 8 years now and NEVER thought to make the climb up to that car!! While I was there I grabbed an antenna, too.

Good to know some people running junkyards have a sense of humor. Or maybe space was really tight. Either way, nice find, with a good story to go with it. You're such a great dad.

That TCM will probably last forever! |

That car has been sitting on top of those buses for at least 15 years with no protection from the elements. Yet the TCM was snug as a bug in a rug under the dash and untouched. Go figure!!

Don't ditch the other TCM's. Some minor soldering work will probably save them! Looks like an awesome junk yard! Great view from up top. I guess they don't like to crush cars, seeing how most of those cars look like they've been there for 40+ years... Wonder if there are actually any good parts left in some of those 1950's-looking cars...?

No. The rubber was all dried, cracked, and rotted. I did see another sunroof on another Metro with good rubber that I'll grab later. EDIT: But I didn't notice if the sunroof was a Geo branded factory sunroof, only that it was in good shape and could be removed easily. Edited by GeoStalker, Apr 2 2016, 09:16 AM.

That's the first thing I noticed, and thought, when I saw the picture.

I didn't know that any of these had a sunroof from the factory.

They didn't. It was a dealer installed option. |

Hmm... interesting! I can imagine a dealer with a metal grinder cutting a hole in the roof...
