Question about working with a load bearing wall in a residence.?
In a couple of places in my house I have made some small display shelves by finding a studspace(in a NON load bearing wall) and cutting the drywall out between the studs 2 to 3 feet high then making a wooden display shelf to slide in between the studs then trimming the shelf out and it makes use of otherwise wasted space. My question is, I would like to put just one shelf in the hallway but the wall I want to put it on is a load bearing wall. Can I still do this so long as I don't cut any wall studs, just the drywall?

I have a 1996 Ford Taurus with 3.0 engine and auto transmission.
If I take off down the road at a slower than normal pace the transmission shifts normal. If I take off like everyone else and go at a normal pace then the transmission shifts pretty hard between 1st and 2nd gear, the rest of the gear shifts seem pretty normal , maybe just a little harder than normal but pretty normal overall . just had the fluid and filter changed, not flushed, changed. Anyone have an idea of what might cause this? Perhaps a speed sensor or some kind of valve or switch? I realize that I may have to have the tranny rebuilt, just thought someone may know of something that may help.
