One more 'idea' about my tC; the wheel does not go down far enough for my liking. On most Toyotas I have had, the steering column is held to the dashboard support by a bracket that bolts into the support. I would like to add some shims to this to get the wheel down another inch or so. I really...

My ac system started leaking, but no signs of oil could be found. So the NAPA store recommended I try Red Angel ac stop leak. $38. per can. Money back guarantee. I tried it. 24 hours later the gas had leaked out of the system again. Anyone else tried this product? Did it work or not?

About 1/2 year ago it was raining like crazy and I was going up a big hill and twice the clutch seemed to slip. I figured the car may have been spinning on the wet road. About 1 1/2 months ago I was going up a steep hill and I think the clitch slipped again, pressing on gas the car sounded...

A lady I know has an '08 Pontiac G6 (don't know what trim level). This thing has had repeated and maddening problems with the "door ajar" chime sounding off when the doors were clearly fully-shut. First it was the driver's door setting off the chime. Then the driver's door wouldn't close at...

New Balance 475s. I like them. I have had them before. I got them in a wide size for my flat feet. (where the hell is he going with this? what the hell do his sneakers have to do with anything?) While going from Keene NH to Brattleboro VT I was coming down a hill, and the cars in front of me were...

I have a 1998 Mitsubishi Spyder. Sometimes it will not shift out of reverse and second without releasing and reengaging the clutch. Noticed it mostly when stopped, rather than shifting from second to third. but may just not have noticed. The vehicle shifts fine otherwise. Would like to know what...

why do people change their pinion angles when they upgrade their axles? for universal joints to do their job, output angle has to be the same as input angle otherwise you get angular velocity fluctuations in the drive train, and subsequently high failure rates. yet i don't think i've ever...
