Sweet 🙂
I often go to wiki or howstuffworks like http://auto.howstuffworks.com/auto-parts/towing/towing-capacity/information/torque-converter2.htm where I read up on planet gears also, but it requires a lot of abstract thinking in spite of their animations and you are usually very good at breaking down the important bits on an actual part. I look forward to your videos! 🙂
[quote=”thisisbuod” post=42330]There is no no reason to post the least likely scenario. If there were why wouldn’t you tell him to check his seat belt adjuster? You obviously have a limited grasp of drive train mechanics and I think you are just trying to defend a nonsense theory. Why don’t you just leave the problem solving to the people who know what they are talking about?[/quote]
You do know the difference between least and less right? I got you PM btw and have no idea of where you touchy side originates from, however it seems very misdirected. Might be time to reassess which direction this forum should go in and what behaviour is tolerated. I posted a valid additional thing to check and made a point of doing it after checking Eric’s advice.
I already asked once what would happen if you clutch, go to change gear and the engine over-revs due to poor ECU programming (like my Hyundai does), the throttle cable is slightly stuck or your engine runs rough due to a dirty MAF (oiled aftermarket filter=.
Let me help you

http://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/176540/ Apparently there is a GM TSB for this specific issue.This is just my hobby, but you position yourself as a pro. You have really never heard of this issue? Disappointing. Maybe you should try modesty for once and save sarcasm for elsewhere.
Cleaning the MAF can be done in 5 minutes and a $5 dollar can of brake clean. Worth a try in my book. In any case I didn’t propose that he should buy an expensive new part based on barely any symptoms, why are you so upset and feel the need to write personal attacks?[quote=”thisisbuod” post=42330]There is no no reason to post the least likely scenario.

In any case I didn’t propose that he should buy an expensive new part based on barely any symptoms, why are you so upset and feel the need to write personal attacks?To be fair my original post did come with a “less likely” disclaimer, mainly due to the fact that understanding a description of noises and feelings is subjective.
“Less likely as to what you are describing, but putting it out there anyways.
A dirty MAF or any other thing that makes the engine run irregular can translate into jerky, rough gearchanges with slight teeth grinding. I am not exactly sure if that fits your discription but a transmission clunk can create that sound and feel. I believe it is due to the engine and transmission synchronization being off as the engine adjusts revs too slowly.”I think most your viewers appreciate your KISS approach and it was apparent in you videos with scanner Danner that you two have different approaches to problems. Especially for the at home mechanic, least likely scenarios are prudent to keep cost down and due to lack of expensive diagnostics hardware.
FYI mechanics get paid by the hour in my country and you pay 150-200 USD per labour hour of which 30-40 USD goes to technician salary.

I have 2 Hyundai’s and I am very pleased with both.
The Atos is an older micro car that isn’t available in the US to my knowledge.

maybe the heatercore? just to let you know i do not have ac in the car as i removed it last summer. but does the evaporator hose still release moisture from the heater? because im thinking that hose may be clogged up….
[/quote]He doesn’t as far as I can tell?

Check out

And their pages on the other items in a car. Buy a cheap car and start doing stuff yourself guided by the internet and a repair manual. It is a lot of fun :). You will surely make mistakes, but as the car is worth little, it is good for rookie mistakes. We’ve all been there.
I decided to learn how to paint a car, browsed youtube for weeks, bought the cheapest gear of decent quality I could find and started with my motorcycle, a scooter and then my car. Turned out great and I learned a lot. When I move back to the states I plan on buying a motorcycle or older car with the purpose of tearing it apart and reassembling everything as a learning experience.

If you normally have a dual filament headlight bulb like H4 or similar you need a bixenon kit. It has an actuated shield that shifts position when turning on the high beams.

Is this in American cars? Similar to on-star? Or is it a GPS box and who does it communicate with and over which protocol?
We have it in Europe where some insurance companies try to get you a tracker with the benefit of cheaper insurance, however as they can void almost anything due to being slightly over the limit, no one uses them.
