anyone else here know anything about cars? i have a few questions but i just want to b.s. in general.

[Firemanz84]

[Beaucephus]

All I really know is that I work on my Exploder more than I drive it. :blink: :|

[Beaucephus]

I do know this much. I am dying to get one of those new Mustangs. Damn those cars are hot!!!!

[Ironcandle]

What kind of cars and how deep in the BS would you like to go?

[Beaucephus]

leave it to bubba to open the topic and then split the scene when everyone is ready to talk about it. :|

[txbubba]

sorry about that. the tranny in one of my friends car shifts really freaking hard from first to second and then mildly hard second to third but not at all into overdrive. it only does this once the car has warmed up to operating temp. any suggestions? another one of my buddies brakelights don't work even after replacing the braklight switch. the turn signals all work though. i tore the car about to find no relay labeled as being for the brakelights and the dealership confirmed my find....or lack of. any suggestions on that.

Does the car go into overdrive at all??? Even when it is warmed up??? If not then there is a relay inside the transmission that may be burned out. Also, sometimes there is a fuse on some of the newer transmission under the hood that may be burned out as well. you may try to look and see if it has that. On the brakes I failed to see you mention that the brake fuse was good as well. Surely your friend has checked the fuseblock for a blown fuse.

my suggestion would be go to home depot and buy 2 cinder blocks. find a very deep and secluded lake or canal. tie a rope to one block. start car with screw driver . place one block on brake(with rope) and one block on gas pedal. place car in drive. hop out yank rope and away she goes along with all the other problems.

Tex,
Have you two checked the Tran fluid? Is it nice and red? Right level? Run the tran lines to make sure there are no kinks anywhere. Don't forget the ones that go to the radiator.

You're fucked on the brake light.

[txbubba]

thanks guys.
beau, of course we checked the fuses and the bulbs. next we'll be running a test light along all the wires and all that fun crap.

as for the tranny, the fluid and filter have both been changed recently. that was the first thought in my mind when i was told of the problem. the trannby fluid is good, but i have not run the hoses or anything. i would think that if a relay or something were the problem, beau, that it would act this way all the time as opposed to just when the car heats up. maybe a thicker tranny fluid is the answer.

I think we are putting the cart before the horse,what kind of car are we talking about anyway?

[diabolik]

The tranny one...if you burn the oil by not having it serviced for a long period of time,it laquers the clutches and they grab . If it wont go into final drive the clutches are fucked ....rebuild.

[txbubba]

the tranny one is a 99 blazer and the brakelight one is a 95 monte carlo. yes i know they're both chevy's.
the blazer is going into final drive but it doesn't shift hard like the other gears do. i would think the gears are messed up if they shifted like that all the time, but they don't. i give up.

well, the one driving the jimmy might not have those problems if the dumb bitch didn't speed off from the scene of the crime so crazily....


hey, what goes around comes around. it's called karma. maybe if she spent more time worrying about her own car, than trying to fuck with other's she wouldn't have the problems she has.
