Transmission Jack Placement? by
Ulysses
Before I remove the transmission from my '91 Explorer I'd like to have a
good idea of how to use a transmission jack. Where exactly does the jack
contact the transmission? The oil pan does not look like it would support
the weight. Does the jack support the edge of the pan? How does...

Brake Line Replacement by
Chris F.
Me again with this '88 Civic project. This car has been parked for about 8
months now, and a mechanic recently told me that this is very bad for the
brake lines. He said I should replace all the steel lines to prevent
problems down the road. This involves a lot of extra work though; is it...

How to find a car with a distressed loan by
HLS
In today's economy, it would seem that some people probably have cars and
loans
that they cannot keep up.
Is there a way to locate these people and try to negotiate to take over the
car/loan,
or is this on a case by case basis?
I imagine this is a bad idea in most cases, as these people...

Brake Splash Guards by
Chris F.
One more question about the '88 Civic. I've now got the front end taken
apart, and I notice that the brake splash guards are totally rusted away -
only the mounting screws remain, and they appear to be rusted in place.
Should I be worried about replacing these (which involves removing the...

Oil Over Fill by
MLD
Just had an oil/filter change at the Dealer--2008 Avalon 6 cyl--checked the dip stick and noticed that the oil level is about 1/2 in. over the fill mark. My guess is that it is equivalent to about a 1/2 Qt. Obviously, the Tech just filled to factory Spec and never checked the dip stick level. ...

Torque Converter Lockup Clutch Failing by
[email protected]
Hi everyone,
I have a 1996 Ford Escort LX with 213k miles on it. It has the F4EAT
automatic transmission with overdrive. Over the past few months, I've
noticed what appears to be my torque converter lockup clutch locking
and unlocking at random, most noticeable at highway speeds (>50 mph).

1994 Chev. Lumina with "stuck" door by
Brad[_8_]
Hi,
Here is an update regarding this problem. Lately, the door is not "stuck"
more times than "is". I don't know if it is because all those "lubes" I have
been trying is taking effect? The weird part, this is intermittent!
I appreciate the responses. I know you want to help, but I...

95 Corolla pinging and some oil consumption by
Dan[_6_]
My 95 Corolla 1.6 4A-FE with 100k miles has been pinging when going
uphills for quite a while. It used to ping on hot days only.
The pinging is getting progressively worse and now it pings also in
cooler weather. Oil consumption is 1 quart per 3k miles.
Could these be related?
I considered...

Driving an old genuine Hydramatic by
Ashton Crusher[_2_]
Has anyone ever driven a car with an actual Hydramatic transmission in
it. The first ones that didn't have a torque converter and that had
two fluid clutches? If so, what did the "shifts" feel like? From
what I read, they shifted at least partly by filling and emptying the
fluid couplings.
