Q:I need a safe site to find a pontiac montana 2003 refurbished transmission front wheel VAN not truck. and an estimate on what it might take to get that and to have some one install if for me.

Copper yes. Iron no. I will though become a little bit more malleable. You would need a forge style fire to actually BEGIN to melt iron.

Q:Every racing game has an option in the game either manual or automatic transmission? What gives?Which side is better?

In Automatic transmission, the gear shifts automatically, thereby removing the task of changing gears by yourself, making you focus more on your driving (accelerating, braking, steering.) In Manual transmission, It's you who shifts the gears, Though it gives you more control over the speed of your car, It's hard to drive while changing gears AND driving (accelerating, braking, steering.) Changing gears at the wrong time costs speed. So it's easier to drive in Automatic. Which is better in most situations. But in drag races, I'd prefer using manual.

Q:I have a 2001 Chevy Cavalier 2.2 and wanted to know how do I do a transmission flush and change the filter myself??? How often should this be done??? Also, does any one know where I can get a FREE step by step guide or maintenance and repair on my car??? Thanks for your help.

In order to do a transmission flush you have to have a machine designed to do that which ranges in the multi-thousand dollar range. But to simply drain the fluid, its pretty simple, find the oil drain plug on the transmission, remove plug, allow oil to drain, remove the drain pan cover, remove the filter and replace. Install new drain pan cover gasket, replace cover, replace drain plug. Refill transmission. Also when you drain the transmission drive the car around for a while to warm up the fluid before you change it as it also helps to remove any sludge or deposits. Your owner's manual can give you a general idea on maintenance, but I recommend getting a Chilton manual for your car. They run about $20 at auto parts stores. I always change my transmission fluid every 55,000 miles, and my engine oil every 3,000 miles. I would rather spend the money on oil changes than a few grand on a new transmission or engine. I have a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 192,000+ miles on it and haven't had a single transmission or engine problem other than belts hoses, and a fluid leak every now and then which is fixed the next time the vehicle is serviced.

Q:My father knows nothing about cars and well he proceeded to add about a quart of oil to the transmission. (2004 Chevrolet Cavalier). It seems that know it does have the same acceleration and smooth shifting as before.how can doing this affect the trans. It can possibly render the tranny useless??? Your responses are appreciated, thanks.

Hopefully we are dealing with an automatic transmission and he added transmission fluid instead of oil. If he added lubricating oil to an automatic you could be in big trouble, as the heavier viscosity will blow all the seals in the transmission. If he added transmission fluid (ATF) then you will have a minor problem with the fluid. It still should be removed either by draining or sucking it out of the filler tube back to the right level. Most instant lube shops can take care of this for a nominal fee. It is better to have a professional check it and have your dad pay the bill.

Q:Basically, I'm wondering what sorts of mistakes you can make when you're driving that are harmful to your transmission.

what kind of transmission? automatic or manuel?

Q:Isuzu 2002 rodeo sport v6, automatic transmissionCan i find a gauge that can be easy installed without drilling?Can I install some gauge directly into the overfill plug hole or drain plug hole?

Any parts store will sell you a temp gage for the transmission, however you don't need it unless your running a race car or a big rig, you can even get rear end temp sensors at the truck shops along with transmission temp sensors. if you go to the junk yard and ask for one you can find cars that do have them with the dip stick as the gage and the fill measuring stick and buy the gage two or go to the dealer and get on, many ways to do it your choice how you do it. Rich2914 has a good ideal since most cars don't have drain plugs you could use a pipe tee and the sender from UCANTCME web site and put it on the low side transmission line cause a plug will leak and the rear end could be put in the fill plug hole so it won't leak, many a truck i have worked on lost the sender unit and killed the third member.

Q:Well got my truck stuck in a big water hole and got water in my transmission and oil so i drove home and i was 15 minutes out of town and when i was driving home the truck would only go like 20 30 km/h so i got it home and i drained the oil and transmission fluid and it still ran the same it went a little faster but transmission keeps sliping when i give it gas so i drained transmission fluid again and it still runs the same

Draining your transmission will not get the ATF/water out of your torque converter. So, you need to get that serviced. If the oil from your transmission had water in it, and or more likely you spun the clutch(s) when trying to get out of the water hole, It just about certain you will need to have the transmission repaired/rebuilt. New clutch plates, possibly a new oil pump, maybe even a torque converter. If you are handy and work on your own truck, I'd go to a junk yard and pick up a transmission, complete with a torque converter. That should get you fixed for around $500 or take it to a rebuild shop, for say $1500 to $3000 depending on model years, electronic controls etc. Some road hazard insurance will help pay, so check that out. Some shops will check it out and give you an estimate free.

Q:I got a automatic 1995 Lexus sc400. The car seems to splutters before it is about to shift gear. Should I get my transmission flush or should I just change its fluid?

The latest scam at those lube N screw places is transmission flush. DONT DO IT. the problem is the transmissiion uses a high detergent oil already and is clean. Its best to just change the pan gasket and and go on down the road. otherwise the harsh chemicals in a flush can push too much crap out and it plugs up the filter and the tranny starves for oil over the next few thousand miles. not a good plan. As long as your fluid is pinkish now its fine it does not need a flush. Its a lot easier on a transmisson

Q:For my senior project I am performing a cost analysis on transmission planning and was wondering where would I find price quote for transmission line cost and what types of transmission lines i‘ll be using for working with EHV that range from 138-230 kv? Also where would I find installation prices and maintanence/repairs? thanks

Underground transmission strains actually have non-optimal impedance so means businesses might want to take up a larger transmission loss. that's been a lengthy time period on account that I took a means type, yet i imagine cutting-edge transmission losses are about 30% of the completed developed means. The geometry of means strains is serious (there's a reason that means strains are strung the way that they are). The capacitance of the strains relies upon on the floor textile and distance. turbines and substation transformers are tuned to those impedences. through putting cables underground, this throws each and every thing off (as well to creating it a lot less efficient), so the cost is extra complicated than basically the installation form.

Q:What are the major problems with this transmission? What is the maintenance on the C-6?

C-6 is the heavy duty transmission for big block Fords of the late sixties and seventies. It was heavy duty except the '66 (first year) cases were prone to crack when subjected to excessive torque. It is physically larger than C-4 and will not fit in some tunnels where a C-4 came out. It is a lot stronger than the FMX (cast iron) and has no bands to break. It has room inside the clutches for extra discs to make it stronger. For a Ford Car, I would use it over any other. If I needed stronger, I would go to an expensive aftermarket racing-only transmissions.
