    Cooling fan only starts when manually pushed by hand

    Failed Inspection- RPMs too high from 2nd to 3rd Gear!

    Yep, that is what I was told this time. 3rd time failed. The emissions test kept failing me because the shift from 2nd to 3rd gear made the RPMs go too high and then after the shift to 3rd, they drop quickly. I have been playing around with adjusting the rod that comes down from the...

    Ground Wire by Trans Dipstick Bolt

    I found a wire that is broken. It is attached to a bolt that is just above the dip stick bolt that holds the transmission to the engine. The bolt is about the same size as the transmission bolt. The broken wire looks like it is coming out of a black tube holding a bunch of wires. What kind...
