I bought my then wife a Plymouth mini van…one of the ones with the 20 year history of transmissions that failed more than they worked. The transmission shop, after the 4th warranty rebuild in 11 months, told her that shifting into drive from reverse without stopping completely was causing a valve to over pressure and punched a hole in the transmission case. Each time the transmission dumped most of it's fluid in the road where it happened. The transmission case had to be welded because all the cores in the junkyards were bought up by transmission rebuilders. The wife was traded in for a new model shortly before the van was traded in for a truck.
Don’t race against manuals because you would embarrass them and that’s not nice
I could really use your help with what's going on with my auto trans in my 90 Accord EX, Scotty. I'm lost as to what is causing the issue and have replaced almost everything except for the transmission itself, and, to date, 3 shops have said they can't figure out what's wrong with it, either. Would love to explain it in detail and share the video I have of what's going on. Thank you for all of the wonderful videos!!!
I don't want to be THAT involved with a car-I don't want a crank-up toaster either! 3:40 as a guy I knew-(not me) said about standard shift drivers "How do those people roll their joints"?
I live in the UK, and have watched your 2 videos on how to drive a Manual. I need to watch the video, on "How to drive An Automatic car."
At 16 years old I was driving a '73 Olds Cutlass that had drum brakes. Went through some water and the car would not stop as I approached a stop light. So I put it in park. My dad about had a stroke. But the car stopped!
My first time with a manual transmission is rather humorous now. Dad had 3 on the tree truck. Pulled to side of dirt road to let me drive. Talked me through it and then told me it was in first and was my time to try. I tried 10 times at least and could not let clutch out slow enough to keep it from stalling out. He got mad and switch back to drive us home. He started it up, let out the clutch and stalled out too. Ha ha ha it was in 3rd the whole time not first! We switch back, I put it in first and took off smooth as silk!
Well maintenance is almost impossible on newer cars since the”lifetime fluid” and no dipstick
Back in the early '90's I had to have the transmission on a "93 Lumina worked on. Picked it up and stopped at a gas station only to have all the transmission fluid leak out. They forgot to put the seals back in. Good ol' AAMCO.
Manual cars have more accidents in town, you can't beat an automatic , and they even better on motorway I drive both but if got kids go for an automatic less stressful driving .
