Why clutchless shift in the snow?

I used Microsoft Security Essentials (free). I have used Spybot Search and Destroy with good results, but now I am using CCleaner. Not a bad program. However, when I switched to AT&T U-Verse, I installed the free McAfree anti-virus software offered for free from AT&T. My computer has slowed...

What brand parts did you use? Was this the old OEM clutch from Exedy? I didn't know you could shift without using the clutch until an automotive instructor showed me in a little Geo Metro. I thought that was pretty cool. I was able to shift without using the clutch pedal in the Corolla. Did it...

Saw this on my Yahoo news thread earlier. Still, day after day, police get confrontational and aggressive when they know they are being filmed. Constantly confiscating phones and arresting the recorders for interference. http://www.flexyourrights.com

I have never seen a pressure plate that worn out.

Anyone like Shiny Toy Guns? This is one of my favorites. Kind of sexy, too. http://youtu.be/ZQyb_zV51HM

I started reading through the forum two nights ago and came across the thread regarding frequency of oil changes. The 3,000 mile interval was recommended decades ago. Most new cars do not have fuel filters because of refinements in fuel. So, it's common sense after reading that thread that...

I have a friend with a 2004 Focus and drives 40 miles to work one-way. Only 105K and he's had a myriad of problems, notably a rough-shifting transmission. He's impressed with my many stories of Toyota reliability, but I don't know if he'll buy one. You stated your Mustangs had clogged...

No, I did not. I bought the car from the original owner at 212K. The owner was finicky like myself and after a thorough inspection, I decided to purchase it. I think I said in another post that I come from a Toyota family, so buying a car with that many miles did not make me nervous. I...

Thermostat was replaced with a genuine Toyota part from West Palm Beach Toyota when I noticed it wasn't as hot as it should be. No change. I changed the thermostat on Christmas day. Also, I have decided to extend my oil change intervals, from 3,000 miles to 4,000 miles.

Can you post some photos?

Leave early for work. You never know if traffic has slowed down or will be at a stand still due to an accident or construction. If traffic is very slow due to one of the above, leave a large distance in front of you. There's no sense in start, stop, start, stop like everyone else does, right on...

It's so tedious, I really hope I can get it better. I don't know why it's somewhat clogged, since I've been very meticulous with coolant changes and only using the "red stuff". My first Toyota was a '96 Celica GT. Still miss that car. I come from a Toyota family. Where can I find photos of...

To achieve these high mpgs, I use a lot of tips from http://www.fuelly.com. I drive 55 on the highway. I have been using the A/C. I use cruise control. I cancel cruise when going up hills and then I gain mpgs as I accelerate downhill. I shift early and I am in 5th gear at 35mph. I also coast...

I've never seen deionized water. At the store, it' either spring or distilled. Still have the original water pump, radiator. My heater core is a little plugged up; I am not getting the "hot" I really should be getting. Was disappointing this past winter. I don't want to tear the dash...

No, just Quaker State, Valvoline, Havoline, or Castrol conventional (petroleum) 5W30. Whatever is cheapest and I always change the oil myself (I'm fussy and make sure it's completely done dripping, and I always prime the filter by putting oil in it and swishing it back and forth so it soaks into...

I like this Forum. Browsed a bit before deciding to join. I have an '02 LE manual transmission. 233,000 miles. My goal is 400,000 miles. I burn 1/3 of a quart every 3,000 miles. So, not too bad. A/C still works strong. Just get can't over the fact this car has so many miles...
