Engine brake in Automatic gearbox by
[email protected]
Hello.
In an Automatic gearbox, instead of a clutch, there's a torque
converter, right?
Now, I know that in manual gearbox, engine brake happens because the
engine is 100% connected to the wheels - so engine revs down = car
slows down.
However, in automatic gearbox, there's the torque converter -...

Sealer for cold mixture heater block by
Art[_5_]
I'm replacing the carburetor on my 89 Toyota and the book I'm using
said not to remove the cold mixture heater block. Well, it came out
anyway and I cleaned it up. So, I'm wondering what kind of sealant I
should use on the upper and lower surfaces and on the gaskets. Any
recommendations? Thanks.

A/C expansion valve by
Art[_7_]
I have a 95 Camry with a sick air conditioner. Blows cold for a while
and then warm.
The low side pumps down to a hard vacuum. The high side is at 90psi.
The receiver outlet is not cold, so I don't think it's blocked.
All that's left is the expansion valve, I think.
Seems like a strange failure...

Ball joint dust cover by
Art[_9_]
Okay, I removed the drive axles on my 1998 Nissan Altima, and
installed replacements. I used a greased pickle fork on the tie rod
ends and the control arm lower ball joints to get the old axles out,
and, sure enough, the dust boots are torn and need to be replaced. Is
there a replacement dust...

Drive axle removal by
Art[_9_]
Am I being a bit of a wimp? I am removing the drive axles from my
1998 Altima, a task I have never undertaken before. Removing the
passenger side axle posed no problem, but I am unable to remove the
driver side axle. The Haynes manual says either pry the inner CV
joint out at the transaxle, or...

GM Service Manual by
[email protected]
Does anyone know where I can find a free Shop Service Manual (pdf) that
covers GM pickup trucks from 1988 and newer? I found an old post that
says there is one in a newsgroup but I couldn't seem to figure out how
to access it.

Should I add oil to R134a? by
[email protected]
I flushed the entire system, and installed a brand new compressor. The
Haynes manual says I should pour 2oz of oil each into the evaporator
and condensor before evacuating the system. However, my R134a bottle
says that it has oil already mixed in it. My question is, should I add
this oil, or should...

Cannot reach A/C high/low pressures by
[email protected]
This is a 1990 Geo Metro. This car was previously converted to R134a.
Recently I replaced the compressor and dryer. I did everything by the
book. I flushed the system with isopropyl alcohol, replaced o-rings,
evacuated, oiled it and held a vacuum for several hours. There were no
leaks. I even...

Online TSB's? by
asdf
Is there a free online source anywhere for TSB's? I mean the actual text of
them? I've found a couple listed on the NHTSA site that I think may be
relevant to my car (2004 Taurus) but haven't been able to find the actual
bulletins unless I want to subscribe to a service.
They're these:

two source are giving me fairly different true market values. Also kelly

even so the price difference reported is fairly significant. In your
