My 1-2nd gear shift is firm but I get a long slippage going into 3rd that really eats power. If I press harder on the gas it sometimes gets worse then will jerk & cause my rpms to bounce around. does anyone else tranny does this or is it something ALL 200r4's do?

Just started happening but it's very annoying. The brakes seem to work fine other than that.

In the process of looking for a smaller SUV, someone suggested to me a 1999 Lexus RX300. i absolutely love the idea of having this car! it is beautiful, a good size, luxurious, and best of all, it fits my $12,000 dollar budget! the only drawback is the gas mileage - i would be getting around 19-20 mpg. i might be able to handle that, but one of the review sites i visited says that Lexus recommends premium fuel. i know i cant afford to drive 60 miles a day in an SUV using premium fuel. but i read an article in Consumer Reports saying that some engines that reccommend premium fuel will reckonize the knocking caused by using regular [instead of premium] fuel and adjust the engine timing and etc. accordingly. i am guessing [and hoping] that an expensive luxury vehicle like a Lexus will be able to do this. so, would it be safe to use regular fuel in this vehicle? thank you for any help!

About 3 weeks ago i asked the question of- i traded a 1979 Honda CT70 that was in really good condition, for a 1977 Yamaha Enduro 250 that does not run.Is this an even trade, it will soon run and needed several minor fixes (points, condensor etc....) what do you think?- The bike now runs like its brand new and i was just wondering if any of you who told me i got screwed over and all i've got now is a boat anchor, would like to retract their former statement????

I just recently went to Sears and got my rear brake calibers(wheel cylinders) replaced.The guy checked my full brake system and said everything was good with the car. I have a 91 Chevy beretta, I have been hear this knocking sound at the right rear side in the back of the car, it isnt anything in the trunk, I screwed the jack and spare tire down good and the trunk is empty, it sounds like something in the trunk or on the rear right wheel knocking, my dad said it might be the shocks or the springs that are loose or need replacing, it also sounds as if something is loose. It only knocks when I accelerate but doesnt when the car is stopped. The guy at sears also raised the car and looked under it and he said if it was the shocks they would be leaking, and the car is sitting high up in the back so it dont seem to be the shocks, the mechanic also said they look brand new(the shocks) Can it be something loose, or what can it be?

I have a 2001 Chevy S-10 4 wheel drive with right at 100,000 miles on it. When I am driving it and make a left turn, it makes a high pitched scraping noise, like metal on metal.

It may need new brakes and rotors, but does anyone think this could be a wheel bearing going out too? It only does it on left handed turns, usually at around 35 to 50 miles an hour. It stops when I apply the brakes also.

I know that it is used to make a new key, but there are numbers and a barcode. Does this code hold infromation about the program chip inside the key? The owners manual states that if you lose your key that one can be made easily at your dealer with this tag. Well I need a new key for my car, the key its self is 33.95, but they want to charge 100.00 to program the key- doesnt it seem like the barcode would have infromation about the previous key? This vehicle is a 2007 pontiac G6 Sedan. Please someone that knows about this help me out. They act like this piece of infromation (the barcode tag) is nothing important, but if its not inmportant then why, tell you in the owners manual to put it in a safe place incase you lose your keys!

It smashed the whole driver rear side in up almost to the bottom of the rear window. It folded the tire under the car, busted the back window out, caved the roof and the passenger rear fender, It looks like the rear frame horns are folded in also, the rear door is bent up and the driver door will not open and close properly, neither will the rear passenger,
