I took a road trip and after several hours we stopped to eat. My car would not shift into reverse but it would shift into drive (automatic transmission ford escort 1997 130K miles). I opened the hood and saw transmission fluid that had been spewed out while I had been driving.

I remembered that a few weeks earlier I put a fluid in my transmission that seals leaks, and extra transmission fluid as well. I thought maybe the fluid that seals leaks also swelled something that made the transmission act bad.

I was able to get out and drive the rest of my trip and the transmission was always slow to shift and change gears.

When I got to my destination, I let the car cool down and tested the transmission and it was able to shift to reverse again (it hesitated to) and work decently.

I checked the fluid and it was full, red, and smelled sweet (not a burned smell) which is good.

Is a transmission filter possibly plugged? What is going on? Could I burn up my tran by driving it home?

I am currently a mature student studying Civil Engineering. I find Mathematics quite difficult and would really like some advice on any way that I could help myself improve on this subject. Maybe you could recommend some books, method of study, or ways of remembering different things. I do study very hard but find I forget things very quick. Or is it that I am just not cut out for all this.

We're trying to answer some question asked by people about the old testament or Torah. Does anyone have questions that either you've asked before or you think would be a good question to answer?

I have. Apart from things like wrapping paper and sellotape, I've had it all delivered to my home. And, in a few weeks, I'll order all the food online too.

How about you?

Many of you may have seen a newborn baby. Christianity believes that they are already sinners. Why is this? Surely you have not yet sinned?

I have a bad habit of pushing people away, and I hate it, but I can't seem to help it. I like this guy, and he likes me, but I'm afraid I'll push him away, and I really really don't want to. What to do?

I have a 10 gallon tank and i have a filter but i was wondering if i need an air pump for it? I'd prefer not to have one, but i don't want the fish to die in like 2 days...i'm thinking of getting a dwarf puffer and some kind of colorful fish. Oh and it's a tropical freshwater tank.
