Something is wrong here. Yes I had problems with the Falcom 3 speed but that was a poorly designed transmission. The front seal leaked once on the clutch and a snap ring had a habit of coming off resulting in all the gears moving forward. My 82 4 speed went 150,000 miles before I traded it. and...

I know the feeling but on the plus side, the after market spare I purchased is full sized and should handle higher speeds near the speed limit.

Batteries like that can recover but deep discharging them shortens their life. Don't be surprised if in a year or two you develop battery problems even with the additional care you are giving it..

I have always owned a manual and will as long as I am able to operate one BUT there are reasons for an automatic. My mother never learned to really drive a manual which is true of many today. Los Angles freeway traffic is almost enough for you to think about getting an auto. Some people just...

Fixing the steering wheel is a two step process. The first is to check and correct the alignment. Once everything is square, you need to remove the cover on the steering wheel, take the nut off that hold it in place, use a steering wheel pull to pull it off the spline and place it back in the...

I didn't have time to read everything because I need to get ready for work but a quick note. Most car carriers are pretty reputable and will report any damage to the car during shipping so you can take it to a good shop for repair. However that is costly to a carrier so some have paint shops...

You can say that again! My first car was 100 horse power. The last is the most powerful at 210 horse power. The only one that promises to top that is a 69 road runner being built with a 700 horse power Hemi. I had to wait awful late in life to feel something that buries you in the seat when you...

My iPhone is connected only so I can use the phone function and I don't have any problems with it. One possible difference is I haven't upgraded to the latest level of software on the phone. I am at 17.2.1 and current shows 17.3.1. Apple is pretty careful about their updates but over the years i...

With the 10 speed auto, it probably doesn't make much difference which rear end you go with. If you do drag strip starts, go with the 3.55. If you spend a fair amount of time at freeway speeds, go with the 3.15 as it will give you a bit better milage. If I could have, I would have gone with...

Could be haunted or a forgotten indian burial ground. As for a more logical reason, you might see if it's a weak cell phone area or if there are high tension power lines in the area. In some areas they are buried but if it's in the open country they will be above ground. There have been...

I have an iPhone mini in an otter box that I charged in the case. It is possible for the case to be thicker in a larger phone. I also have only tried it once for a relatively short time. I was reading the specs for a 14 pro (another problem) and it said it could charge at up to 15 watts. That's...

Not a problem, it's a feature. If you starting the car remotely to use remote rev, you want the noise. If you're starting in the car, you want to control the noise. The car can't know you're remotely starting and aren't going to use remote rev. Of corse you could always get a car with a manual...

That list of problems, the first thing I would test is the battery. First because the number of battery reports and second, a number of errors might happen if there isn't sufficient voltage to preform the function listed. It needs a load test as well as a voltage check. There are just to many...

Like others on the site I have had difficulty getting the wireless charger to work with my iPhone. It would charge slow and the phone would get hot. By accident, I discovered it was user error. The proper procedure for using the charger is to place your phone as far forward in the cradle as it...

My Dark horse has 255F/275R/40r19 which is a pretty good middle ground. Smaller diameter wheels would give you a better ride and 20 inches would give you better handling. I can't say what is right for you because I don't know the type of driver you are and how much you value comfort...

I would go along with checking the battery as well. If you have a charger, it wouldn't hurt to top off the charge on the battery and make sure it's fully charged. Lately we have been having far fewer battery problems reported on this site but it is possible for another bad one to pop up.

That cold the air conditioner probably isn't going to come on. There is a cut out switch to prevent it from turning on when it's cold. The reason for the switch is the air-condition comes on in defrost mode unless it so cold that the relative humidity is low enough that the air doesn't need to...

I found it. Don't let the name of the thread fool you because a catch can is one way of dealing with the carbon buildup. oil-catch-can-yes-or-no

It's due to a very bad government idea. Years ago the government decided to control emissions by adding and oxidizer to the fuel. At the time there were still many cars on the road that had carburetors. As the jets were fixed, they came up with the idea of adding something that had a lower...

There is a thread about this here but the port injection cuts down on the carbon buildup. It probably depends on how much fuel is contributed by each system. The combination should go 100,000 miles or more without the buildup becoming a problem.
