Re: How universal is driving standard?

^ Wow, that's a lot of driving experiences. How do you happen to get a chance behind the wheel of so many vehicles?

Re: Clutch Pedal is High??

When my Jeep's clutch was replaced it went from being ultra low to an inch deep. I hate to ask, but ...Using genuwine Jeep parts? Clutches are funny. On a macro level, they are all mostly the same. On a micro level, the diaphram spring finger heights in the cover assy can vary, the disk material th...

Re: smoking brakes

I think if the brakes were smoking any time in the last week, the smell will still be there. I had a Goolie - Pontiac 6000LE, that developed sticky park brake after a few years (and my wife not using the park brake). I would borrow it and have the brake cable get stuck. Had to reach under the car an...

Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi

We just switched cars the week when my son got his road test appointment. I had to go make sure he got familiar with it - a Charger RT mit der hemi is a bit different from the PT Cruiser 2.4 Turbo he had spent most learner's permit driving time with. Last thing you want to do on your roadtest is smo...

Did they make you learn hand signals in that signals course? How about flashing the brights, or blinking between parking and headligh...

Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi

This is true. On a great note, I passed my signals class. Can't tell you how happy I am right now... mannnn it was so vital that I pass that class so I could continue with my other classes. I was super stressed about it, but a "C" showed up on my grades today, finally. The best C I've eve...

Re: kelly's 92 tercel

Don't stick your head under the car without having the wheels chocked. Those big wooden shoes should work quite well. My boss, who shoulda known betta, got his head pinned to the pavement when the car rolled while he was underneath. Luckily, he was able to yell for someone to push the car so it roll...

Re: smoking brakes

Burned brakes smell about like burned clutch - nasty! By any way, has the car sat for a while without being driven? BAW, is the park brake applied? Was it applied recently, before this condition occurred? Was smoke confirmed to be coming from front or could it have been from the rear? I've seen fron...

Re: Isuzu Transmission issue

Is there any way to see if the clutch release bearing is moving? Is there a hole you could look into the bellhousing through? Clutch should really feel way to light on effort if the bearing was sticking in the released position. I'm really thinking it is in the trans itself, because it should gnash ...
