Replaced a couple of worn out servos in my friends explorer. Followed the procedure and everything went well. Took it on a test drive and couldnt get reverse to work and drive was severely deficient in power. Tried again a few minutes later and it was stuck in driveand couldnt get into park. Now...

I have a small 8"x3" area under my rear door that rust is taking over the paint. it is kind of bubbly. I would like to repair this. What would be the best route? I have some rust remover. Should I apply that, let it do it's thing, clean it up, then maybe sand the area with steel wool and use...

I just finished up replacing the clutch in my corolla. I'm getting a clicking noise when driving straight which seems to be coming from the driver's side. The clicking gets more rapid the faster I go. I think it may be the cv axle but I'm not positive. I had a [censored] of a time getting it...

My clutch whines. It's been slowly getting worse. Maybe my clutch is reaching the end of its life. 96,500 miles. it seems to change pitch with rpm and goes away completes when i press the clutch pedal in. only does it under load. should i start budgeting for a new clutch? are they normally noisy?

So I'm going to do amsoil powerfoam this evening. I did it last time during the day and won't be doing that again (everyone in a two mile radius was about to call 911 on me...i figure noone will see all the smoke at night). I only let it soak for 5 minutes the first time and did it on a cold...

What is a good product to add to my gas regularly? I have had seemingly good success with lucas but I'm always hesitant to use their products. Redline seems to work okay for cleaning but doesn't seem to do much in lubing. What do you use?

I have an '06 corolla. Everywhere i'm reading people are suggesting to use MT90 which is a gl-4 oil. amsoil recommends gl-5 oils like severe gear. Toyota specs GL-5. What should I use? Severe gear is a GL-5 that is also speced for GL-4 applications. That seems to be the most ideal fluid besides...

I'm looking for one of those screw on spouts you can put on a quart-size oil bottle. I will be using this to connect it to a funnel to fill up my m/t. I tried just using a funnel and tubing but all of the funnels I've looked at have too big of opening for the tubing to slide on. Any ideas?

Can I clean my IAC valve and vacuum switching valve with throttle body cleaner while car is running? Will this damage the engine? My iac is in a bad location and I don't want to remove it until I get a new gasket. Can I just do a quick cleaning by spraying it into the iac while engine is...

I have noticed a buzzing sound coming from the rear end of my corolla. I did not notice it until I had the rear seats folded down for carrying my workstand to my jobs. It sounds like the right rear tire and seems to get slightly louder on left hand turns. Wheel bearing?

My '06 corolla is having some issues. at idle, when i turn defrost on the lights noticeably dim and get brighter when I turn it off. Happens when I lug the engine as well. Sometimes it takes like 6 or 7 cranks to start up and other times it will start almost instantly. Also has a rough idle that...

I just picked up a new (used) car. it makes a loud whiny sound when in gear particularly when coasting. sound goes away when i press clutch in. could this be a worn clutch or throwout bearing? Or could it be something else? or is this completely normal? Also seems very jerky when i let off/give...

So I sold my frickin escape which had neverending mechanical issues and had horrible gas mileage. Ended up with a 2006 toyota corolla le with 95,000 miles...and it's a stick. Now, I have been driving it a couple weeks and I never stall it but I have a lot of work to do on my technique. Was...

I've tried invisible glass and another kind of glass wax and I can't seem to get the wiper marks off my windshield. It is pretty noticeable when there is any kind of glare. pretty annoying. Any products that may help? clay bar?

Can I just drive the car up on ramps for this or does the whole car need to be level?

Either my lightbulbs suck or my headlights need to be adjusted. My high beams are great but I can't drive with those on with traffic around here. The low beams are incredibly dim. I kept veering out of my lane tonight because I couldn't see far enough ahead! This is a 2006 toyota corolla. Do...

My friend wants to change the tranny fluid in is '08 explorer but theres no dipstick...or fill hole. How would he go about doing this?

Whats a good car wash/wax combo that I can just rinse off?

I'm having some issues with my escape. Sometimes I will get a slight clunk when turning sharply at slow speeds. Both cv axles are fairly new, new control arms and bushings, fresh sway bar bushings and end links, new tie rod ends, new struts, mounts, springs, and insulators. Gah, I just can't...

Is there any way I can improve my gas mileage? I'm lucky to get 275 miles to the tank. Clean air intake? Fuel additives? Anything? This thing is a pig and I am going broke on gas.
