Transmissions are a black art and opening up one when you are not trained is asking for problems. I know a lot of certified mechanics that won't even touch a trans they tell you go to the dealership or to find a dedicated trans shop. You gone done ***** up

And yes I had a car that was in perfect shape I'm still kinda mad but I can fix it

The accident was pretty much a roll I was rear ended and none was hurt and the accident was not bad at all but insurance gave 2000 appraisal and the supplement is 1700 so I made out like a bandit and I will try to post pics the damage was minimal I will fix all myself for under 400

Use a wheel chock and put your tire and rim under it also so if it does fall its not on you never can be to safe

I'm getting the same in my 97 with 1.8 and 4 speed I would say all is well has alot to do with tuning and is it vvti or not that has alot to do with it

Magnets or maybe painters tape not duck tape I'm sorry makes me question the way a mechanic treats my car

Probably has to do with power at given rpm in the corolla a lot more high rpm to get needed power the Audi has turbo so a lot less high rpm and it has much more ample power and takes less time getting up to speed and then once at cruising speed your rolling rpm is much lower like 1500 rpm at 40...

So does that mean now that you changed the oil to the correct weight that the noise is gone and the car is running good again please do not listen to people get an owners manual and follow it to the letter and I guarantee you will never do a thing wrong and will not regret it. Good luck and...

First off you never ever use a hand brake to slow down or come to a stop it is a parking brake and if the situation is a complete emergency were the cars well being is not the priority then you use it you could of snapped something in the brake line leading to the rear parking brake I would take...

Holy cow 20-50 the poor motor doesn't have enough torque to pump an oil that thick lol never mind drive to. First thing is do not drive or start that motor until you change the oil to 5w-30 and before you do checkthe current oil in there and see if you can find metal flaking if so then tthat's...

Am I the only one that would never duck tape stuff to my car and if my mechanic did he better hope he can run

So curiosity got the best of me today and I took my car for a check up on the trans at aamco they ran for codes and check the fluid and everything was cleared said to just change it for peace of mind to amsoil and then be good for another 75k easy!!!! I chuckled

Prolly a typo I say its something stupid and is it a rattle in the steering or does it sound like something just jingling around

Good point Scott with 20000 miles were did you find this car if its a 96 and the dealership was off the hook 15 years ago so no good

To clarify its the bracket that goes over the battery and has a little nut on the top to tighten it to stop it from rattling

Check the battery holder the little bar that goes behind it hooks on a bracket and then you tighten it from top mine was doing same think and it was driving me bonkers went down today and looked around ended up being that and now its all gone

Well trans fluid doesn't need to be changed as often and there is no exact time to change it and most of the time if fluid is fresh and you are having 0 issues you probably don't need it when it was changed at 60k it was not need was done because the guy who owned it was super meticulous about...

Okay forgive my paranoia I have owned Chrysler my whole life and it wasn't the 3 speed torque flight so I always question the trans and I was wondering what is the lifespan of these units be it the 3 speed 4 or the stick shift. I personally own the 97 with the 4 speed and have 119k on the...

Lol maybe he saved you by adding to much oil making it not run so you didn't have to find out the brakes were done wrong also
