What's better for a person getting their first car? My mom wants me to get manual. She said that if you learn that right away, you won't have to worry later on if you have to drive one. Which one should I pick?

I replaced the battery, as the truck would not start. It just clicked when I tried. After the new battery, the truck did the same thing. Anyone have a suggestion? Is it the starter cellenoid?

i recently failed my driving test.
when the examine explained why i failed, 2 serious faults, 1st bay park and not looking out rear window, the 2nd was not using mirrors to change lane on a 2 lane right turn.

both of these faults occured very early in he test.
so why did the examiner just let me carry on as normal, taking you through difficult roads and situations. there's no point i had already failed, just makes u feel stupid
do they get some sort of sadistic pleasure from this.
btw both of these faults were not in themselves serious, unless i was be in danger of running over a squirrel, on the bay park and the right turn i had done with my instructor and had no problems.
i even overtook another learner taking there test on the duel carriageway, without a problem.surely how can he say i can't drive.

omg, it's true, driving instructors have have an agenda.

I have an Aftermarket Exedy twin disc racing clutch, installed 1 year ago. Havent had any problems until about 3 weeks ago. The pedal vibrates in each gear between 2200 and 2500 RPM. Only vibrates when the clutch is engaged. Has a brand new OEM Throughout Bearing installed with clutch last year with clutch. Clutch has about 7000 miles on it.

I am guessing either the Through out bearing went bad or a broken spring on the pressure plate. Not sure though. Dont want to tear into the clutch because i dont have a hoist and it pays 12 hours according to Alldatapro.com.

All help is appreciated

I have to go to a smog test only station and I am concerned about my Nox reading as it was tested 2 years ago and barley passed. So, if i were to fail, I want to know which part may most likely be the issue? I would like to have it checked before i get it smogged.

I've asked mechs. about this and they all say it's not possible for ATF to leak into the engine, basically I must be an idiot who's not paying attention to what he's pouring and where. I agreed that it shouldn't be possible and assumed I made a mistake.

Since then I've changed my oil 6 times very carefully. Reading the labels and smelling the oil before pouring it in.

Also I have had to add ATF to the trans. about 1-2qt. per week.

When I drain the engine oil. there has been way too much and it's reddish and smells like ATF.

So don't bother telling me it's not possible and start looking outside the box and consider how it might be possible.

Let me repeat: THIS IS HAPPENING

How MIGHT it happen?

Thanks for anything you can think of.

theres no check engine light. its an automatic transmission. 170k miles.
when i start the car it starts idleing bad. when i start driving it
stutters when i accelerate but when i floor it the stutter disappears but when it shifts it pops into neutral and the rpms go way up until it catches the next gear. so basiacally, i would like to fix the bad idle, once the bad idles gone im sure the other problems will go away too.
i changed the fuel filter, all the spark plugs, all the spark plug wires. is it even worth me trying to fix it or would a shop be able to fix it? i dont want to pay 500 bucks to fix it because thats almost as much as i payd for it. thanks for the help.
