Hey all, I have two very specific transmission-related problems with my 1999 Toyota 4Runner (Limited trim, 4x4 automatic with O/D, 138K miles). First off, for 99% of the driving I do, the transmission shifts GREAT, both up and down through the gears. Problem #1: Shifting into reverse is harsh....

I'm have the transmission (TH400) redone in a 69 firebird. The shop was asking if I would want to go with a high(er) stall converter. Apparently the standard is around 1600 and he's saying it would have more off the line power with a 2500 rpm converter. There must be a downside or they would have...

Nope! Not here. And neither are any publications of WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECS. Which is the real topic of this post. With this wonderful tool called the internet, it seems you can find out anything about anyone or anything, period - except specifications for wheel alignment of just about anything...

the Alberto lawyers allege the accident was caused by "the vehicle's propensity for confusion in the sensors and electronics processors" in the throttle control unit "as the result of transient signals." Intermittent radio waves or electronic interference will lock down the cruise control and the...

So slamming on the brakes enough to cause tires to catch fire still can't stop the car? That's scary! "In a 911 call, one of the passengers said the Lexus was speeding at 120 m.p.h., and witnesses said the car’s tires were on fire when it crashed – possibly from the driver slamming on the...
