I was wondering how much I should expect to pay for a transmission fluid flush (not a drain). I'm talking about when they completely remove all the old fluid and replace it with new fluid, as opposed to just draining and re-filling. I've got a 1998 Honda Accord LX 4-cyc with 72K miles. I was...

son's 96 Geo Metro's clutch pedal suddenly sunk to the floor and stayed there. Does anyone know if this might be a relatively simple and inexpensive problem to repair or an involved and expensive problem? Time to buy a new car?

Hi, I have a 99 Corolla and have just started feeling occasional shuddering in the steering wheel when driving at ~70 mph on the highway. There are no problems at lower speeds and the shuddering isn't always present although it is frequent at high speeds. Can anyone give me any tips about what...

I just bought an B&M Auto Trans drain plug kit. I'm thinking of just draining the tranny by using my dremel to drill a small hole where the plug is going to go. Then I'll widen it out the the appropriate width with a drill bit after removing the pan. It appears that my 3.4L Pont. Grand Am has a...

The windshield washers just stopped working on my 1989 Toyota Corolla...there is plenty of fluid in the washer resevoir and the wipers and all other controls work fine. I recently had the auto transmission rebuilt on the car and is it possible that they disconnected something to make the washers...

I am trying to figure out how to do the high accuracy calibration on a Coats 1001. You use a balanced wheel, put the switch to test, attach a 4 oz weight and hit start. You are supposed to adjust the gain and phase pots so that all LEDs are off. The question is when are you supposed to take the...

I have a 1995 gmc jimmy, 4.3L. When it is cold itruns fine, but after about 20 minutes it stalls and hesitates. If too much gas is given it eather backfires or dies altogather. This is only when its is hot.When cold, first 15 minutes no problem. I have changed the fuel filter, fuel pressure...

,98 Cavalier will sometimes act like a battery cable is disconnected. I can disconnect the negative cable and reconnect it and it will start without hestitation. I replaced the starter and soleniod a couple of months ago and did not have the problem until now. Are there any test that I can do to...

Hopefully someone has a thought on this. The engine has four carbs. It is a four stroke 100HP. The engine will not start. A few days before the problem occured I used the boat for about 2 hours chasing stripers around the bay. The engines were turned on and off at least a dozen times. They...

Looking at a '98 328i with 144K miles, 5-spd. It has no maintenance records whatsoever. Assuming nothing has been done to it, the mileage is such that it's heading into the major repairs zone, IMO. Should I assume that within the next 10-20K miles I will have to replace lots of things, like:...

I was driving my 96 Mazda 626 on the interstate, at about 70mph, on a gradual curve. I think I hit a small bump, maybe an expansion joint, when suddenly I heard a small soft thunk and my steering wheel suddenly moved left in my hands - but the car kept going where I'd been pointing. Alarmed, I...

I am looking to buy a set of tools in the near future. Preferably 400+ pieces and a 40" wide box. I was just wondering what your thoughts are on the different tool makers, snap-on, proto/blackhawk, mac, matco, etc. What are your experiences with them? What do you consider to be the best...

I'm trying to replace my car battery but old battery acid has covered the negative terminal. I have wiped away the excess acid but it has gotten in the ridges of the screw, causing me to have a hard time unscrewing the nut. Any help or suggestions as to how I can unscrew it without stripping the...

I can get a price on one below the Pertronix I. But is that a deal? I saw on the Accel web site they use an "optical" sensor. My fear with the Pertronix is that I or someone will put the ignition to "on" or run it all day in the Texas heat and burn the unit out, so what I am wondering is, is that...
