This is the same person as last time with the '74 Dart. I was in an accident a while back. I was hit from the side and the frame is slightly off in the front but the allignment of the driveshaft to the diff. is still perfect. The joints still break every week. I'm thinking about getting a new pinion yoke. It just stumps me how the car can have the same joint for 30 years and then all of a sudden break every week. The car drives smooth as ice each time i put a new joint in. No noise or vibration besides the mild clunk i get when putting the car in gear and letting off the gas when cruising. The bearing cups fit into the pinion yoke farily easily and turn easier when tightened down then all the other bearing cups on the rear and front U joint of the driveshaft (that have never broken, i might add) . Are they supposed to turn so easily or are they supposed to have a little bit of resistance?

No one responded to my last question. So i have short listed my selections after detailed study. My usage of the car per month is about 400 to 600km and my yearly travel all together is close to 7,500km. All the above 3 cars has the price almost the same. So am finiding it difficult to choose out of these 3. COnsidering my usage help me which one works out better for me. I hardly have experience in driving manual transmission car. which one works good for me ?
Dear proud owners of the above car help me to select.
my obvious points to consider for above car is
1. Mileage in City & Highway
2. maintanance cost per year
3. repairs or small refinement cost etc,. [in other words the money needs to be spent on car other than fuel
4. Post warranty costs ....
5. Resale value after 5-6 years any other points you guys think "need to be considered" etc..

For some reasons still Indica Diessel is in my list. help me with your experience. THanks in advance for your help

I am an ASE certified mechanic, but transmissions aren't my strong point. 96 Chevy 2wd pickup. extended cab, with a 4L60E
Transmission. Replaced front pump seal, because of leak. Leak came back after 15 minutes of driving. Torque converter snout
is clean and free of scratches. Fluid runs out of front seal when
vehicle is running, and pours out when you shut it off. Owner of
vehicle said trans has only 25,000 miles on it. Is there a "speedy
sleeve" or something I can do to get the leak stopped? HELP!!!!!!!

This is not an issue for me as I'm Canadian and virtually everything I buy, except commodaties, are from elsewhere. The Camaro though is an American icon. Even though it may be built in one of the highest qualtiy plants in North America, would you, as an American still love this car if it's made outside of the USA? This is not for sure, but Canadian unions have been negotiating since spring for the work, and have given up generous retirement packages. What do you think?

I'm sure we can all agree that picking a day to stop driving just won't work.........

With that said,Why not Try this?

If EVERYONE Stopped Buying gas from Exxon/Mobil(They're making the Most Money) for 1 Month I Guaruntee they will drop there Prices.

They would have to,then to be able to compete,other companies would follow suit.........

Instead of Blaming others(instead of Supply and Demand)We as Consumers need to accept some Responsibility on this Issue......

We as Consumers can set the Price by Boycotting Exxon/Mobil completely.

So What Say YOU?

Are any of you willing to Stop buying Gas from Exxon/Mobil for 1 Month?

I Stopped a few months ago.So have my Family(entire family)and friends too...........

And their telling their friends to stop.Word of Mouth can only go so far though.With all the People here,You would be surprised at the difference you can make.......

So you can continue complaining OR you can actually do something........................

My '06 xB was recently "slightly" side-swiped. :o/
The damage isn't bad really(other than the front driver's side fender that needs to be replaced). I'm trying to do this as inexpensive as possible. I've looked through many, many search pages and haven't had any luck in finding that part for under $150. I know it is possible to get one for under that price, because a local body shop has them for that price, but I would have to have the body work done by them which is way out of my budget. Any help or suggestions would be great...
salvaged, used, after market (if there is such a thing for this model yet), etc.

Thanks in advance.

Everything's improved considerably with vehicles, but NOT the mileage as much as other things, why is that? My dad's 1977 Honda Civic got 40 mpg. and that's still a good mpg number.... WTF???
