Q:Which is better overall? I know the cutting edge of transmission is still DSG or dual clutch, but what‘s your say?

Neither in my opinion, I believe in a manual transmission. Until a micro controller can analyze all the road conditions like a human can, a manual transmission is the best. The Direct Shift Gearbox would be second best. In the future I suspect the continuous variable transmission will eventually be the best but it will require the micro controller to analyze total road conditions and the mechanics of the design need to be beefier. But this is my opinion

Q:under 400.00 need that automatic transmission

All you have to do is go to Google search. Type in, 1987 toyota pickup automatic transmission. You will have no trouble finding many sources. I do suggest you work this out with a local shop. Once you find it, have it order by your local repair shop. other wise you might be stuck with the labor cost and still have a bad transmission. Please understand that there are 3 kinds of rebuild terms: 1. Re-manufactory means it was rebuild by Toyota. 2. Buying a REBUILD unit means it was from a Transmission rebuild shop, nothing to do with Toyota. 3. Local shop overhaul, this means the monkeys at the local shop is going to do it. Number 1 is the most $, but the least risk. Number 2 is the most popular, and you can buy different length of warrenty. Number 3, Stay away from this option unless you know a person whom is a great transmission rebuilder and has all of the special tools and a clear room. I suggest that you work with a good local shop, order the transmission from a Professional rebuilder other than Toyota. And let them put it in. If you got extra money, get it from Toyota. Good luck david

Q:Did a transmission flush because it was loud and wouldn‘t shift down. I was told to do a flush because the fluid was burnt. After the flush my transmission shifts now, but it seems to be around a particular gear (30-45 mph) it gets really loud. But it does appear to be shifting to me. So what is causing this really loud vibration noise. I drive a Neon 2003 120,000 miles. Thanks :)

Try any haynes manual through the index turn to breaks hope this helps

Q:I have two questions. 1) can anyone inform me of which transmissions can be put into my 2000 Honda Civic Si equipped with a b16a(engine)? I‘m particularly interested in ones equipped with a limited slip differential and dual syncros if possible. Not interested in low quality transmissions. 2) in buying a performance clutch and flywheel package. Is the chassis, the engine, or the transmission that is in relevant corelation as far as compatibility?

Any B-series transmission will work but if you already have the tranny, I would recommend buying an aftermarket LSD such as a Quaife Limited Slip. You can pick a Quaife up for about $800-900 in comparison to buying a lsd trans for around $1500. I dont quite understand the second question but I assume you are asking if the type of car or engine is what dictates the parts you will need? The engine code is the best way to get the right parts for your needs BUT if the engine or transmission has been swapped then you will need to know the specific part for what you are searching for. Example: If you need a body kit, you can just search under 2000 Civic Si. If the car has the original engine and you need a header, you can still search using 2000 Civic Si OR B16. If the car has a B16 engine but a B18C1 transmission (from an Integra GSR) and you need a limited slip differential, you will look for Integra GSR or B18C1 parts.

Q:I am considering purchasing a 2003 Acura 3.2 cl. I have heard that they have transmission problems. It is the automatic transmisson and it is not a type-S. It has 80,000 miles on it. Does anyone know if the cl transmission issues pertain to this model. Thanks in advance. :)

I have a 2003 cl type s auto and I bought the car with 60k miles on it and the transmission was replaced already in the car. Acura did extend the warranty to 100k miles so you have at least 20k miles to find out if it is slipping or not. Have a certified acura tech check it out before purchasing. My car now has 92000 on it and not a lick of problem with the transmission.

Q:I just bought an 04 buick rendezvous, its been driving great for the past month. well today I noticed that when it shifts it shifts hard, almost feels like im hitting a small bump or something. Its still running and shifting normal just now when it shifts its like i said it feels like ive hit a bump. I dont have any warranty on it. I dont know much about cars but could this be the start of my transmission going out or could it be something else? Theres nothing else going on with it at least not yet anyway.

check your transmission fluid

Q:In Dragon Ball Z Kai, Goku uses instant transmission to transport himself to King Kai‘s planet. How is this possible? King Kai lives in Other World, basically Heaven, shouldn‘t that be on another plane of existence, inaccessible by people living on Earth? By the way, Instant Transmission isn‘t magic.

Instant Transmission allows Goku and anyone that is in physical contact with him to instantly travel great distances (from meters to light-years, or even travel between the living world and Other World) just by concentrating on a particular individual's ki signature, and transmitting or feeling that being's location. Im not sure if thats what you were lookin for but its a start.

Q:Does anyone know how long the transmission fluid dipstick is, from top to tip, on a 2003 Mercedes E320. I‘m trying to check the transmission fluid level through the transmission fluid filler cap. Please help. Thanks

The tool used to check the fluid in a 722.6 trans is about 3 1/2 feet long, costs about $40. at the dealer. It's easy to read, the level is marked at the end of the tool. The length of the tube is different on various models, but the way you read the fluid level is the same as a regular dipstick.

Q:i have an 05 tc manual. ive been having issues with grinding ever since i bought it, one person recommended putting some royal purple in it. so ive decided i want to change the gear oil even if that doesnt solve the prob, it will give me something to do, but ive never done this on a manual before.

If you do find how to change the fluid, check for little pieces of metal or rubber in the old oil/fluid. That means a gear is about to give out. It could also be a simple clutch adjustment to push the throw out bearing out a little more. The adjustment is on the rod that pushes a fork forward.

Q:How hard/ costly is it to convert a automatic transmission to a manual? is it worth it? i want a Supra sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad but all i can find under $30,000 are automatics. so i was thinking i could drop a manual trans. and throw a turbo in there and call it a beast. is it even worth it? lol

If you want a manual transmission sooooooooooooooooo etc bad, you may as well just pay for one, because that will be cheaper than the conversion.
