    Honda CRX '91 transmission fluid

    I used Ac Delco 10-4014 synchromesh friction modified MTF in my 98 Honda Civic and it has been working great and shifts nice and smooth. I would give this a try in your CRX. It's expensive at about $15 a quart but I think it's worth it.

    Drained the battery by mistake- cold weather

    At 0 degrees I would make sure that the battery electrolyte is not frozen before you try to jump it or charge it. You don't want to risk a battery explosion trying to charge a frozen battery. If it is frozen I would just get a new one.

    Weaver pads fit tight

    You have to remove the rust that builds up between the mounting brackets and the anti rattle clips. As the rust build up under the anti rattle clip it lifts the clip up reducing clearance making the new pads fit tight. You can grind the pad ears down a bit but the proper way is to remove the...

    Question about weight of motor oil for Ford Escort

    I think a 1998 ford escort should use 5w30 oil. Try a good high mileage oil like valvoline maxlife and forget the lucas oil stabilizer it's useless garbage.

    Bad Battery?

    I would not worry about it as long as the battery passes a load test. I would just keep it clean be sure to use an acid neutralizer and then rinse it well with water. An acid film will form on the top most wet cell batteries over time it is not a sign of failure unless it is leaking from a crack...
