Right. I am hoping maybe there were some bubbles in that atf,i think there were, and i just put air in. The sponginess was barely perceptible, someone who didn't drive the car every day wouldn't have noticed. The pedal wasn't going to the floor; it just wasn't responsive to the lightest tap like...

Looks fine!

Ok. The replace it all information i found prior to my mechanic. His initial intention was flush and fill. I found it in more than one place, including here, to replace all rubber. I drive a lot of miles, sometimes with my two year old in back. I gotta sleep at night. Plus, two weeks of...

Not my finest hour, but yes, I added ATF to brake fluid. Less than an ounce, about a week ago. I know to restore the vehicle to safe operating condition, all things rubber must be replaced in the brake system. Ergo, the entire brake system must be replaced. Not negotiable. That's already been...

Long story short, I found myself at the lowest of the low end used car dealers the other day. I'm talking cars with prices in the neighborhood of $1200 that aren't even worth that. Thankfully my days of driving that kind of stuff are over. From my observations, not that it's a shock, sketchy...

Yep, my fault, lets get that out of the way. Ok, my neighbor, who has a decrepit vehicle and plenty more problems than that, texted my wife asking for a jump, so off I went. Upon arrival, I noticed the lights on her car were on pretty bright, and she was trying to start her car. It was...

Fellows, I know Top Tier is controversial, but me, I am convinced. Problem is, my '17 Kia Forte, which I plan on being the last owner of, has 30k on it. Sometimes it got Top Tier, sometimes not. But from here on out I will fill up with nothing but, it's easy enough. What say, make the switch and...

It's nearly unanimous, gonna do maintenance. My instinct too. I have a drain plug alright, but no dipstick! Have used the max life in more than one transmission, satisfied every time, is it cool warranty wise?

Good afternoon everyone, seeking opinions here...I have a 17 kia forte, about to hit 30k miles.... Any other car my inclination is do a transmission fluid change. The manual says no check or change is necessary for normal service (!), But under severe, 60k. I won't bore you with the details but...

Hardly any rust. I'm certain it is not indigenous to the area. AWD....um, I think so?

zyzz, John- Spot on! Cleaning the MAF makes it so I can drive it WITHOUT the pennies! Lower, quieter idle, too. Thanks! Courrier- Thank you sir. I took a test earlier today for admission, did quite well. I promise I will not tend to patients as I tend to this car. Miller- Syracuse! Don't tell...

So, long story short, I got myself a 1991 Subaru XT6 free of charge. It moves on its own power; I can't imagine its worth more than $500.00 on a good day. I'll be quitting my full time job pretty soon to attend nursing school, and I intend to get a part time job delivering pizzas. Don't want to...

Yes, 4.1

So chris, maybe something like monroe sensa tracks?

So, my car is an 84 cadillac deville. It has an air ride system, needless to say after 30 years the system has had it. The rear is starting to sag.I just want to replace with gas shocks. Anything I need to do aside from simply install the shocks? I'm aware I may get a suspension message but I'm...

Cool, even better than I thought. I'll keep my oil in and maybe even get another 1000 or so miles next summer. Thanks guys!

Hi guys, You all helped me earlier this summer with a question I had about taking my car out of storage when fresh full synthetic was put in immediately beforehand. That was earlier this summer. Well, I changed the oil about a month ago. Again, its Valvoline full synthetic. I will park and the...

The front and rear bumper fillers were replaced at the shop; that needed done when i got it out of storage. They crumble after 30 years, go figure. Then matters were complicated when someone smashed into my passenger fender. Their insurance took care of it and the body man did a good job. Not...

THAT'S IT! IT IS A RESONATOR! I'm so sorry. I have a lot to learn. But you guys sure do point me in the right direction. And I get the impression straight pipe in place of the resonator is OK.

Lost it lost it. Like on the highway. I'm reading about it online. From that and this forum...yeah, I made up my mind. Replacing the bad boy. Thanks for your help, everyone.
