After the engine gets hot, the RPM will increase without my changing throttle position. Also the RPM increase doesn't cause an increase of road speed.
I'm thinking it is either a clutch going bad or a problem with a bearing or shaft in the transmission. ( happens in 5th gear.) Which is more likely and are there any other things to look at? (It was down pretty hard at some time in its life before I bought it)

I have a 1988 Pathfinder. The vehicle coasts straight and true, and there are no signs of tire wear (10K+ miles on tires). The vehicle pulls to one side only when I throttle. I don't notice this when I am constantly on the throttle, but only when I alternate between coasting and accelerating. I have to compensate the steering wheel, and when going fast, this can really cause me to be swervy. I don't want to be pulled off the road for looking like I am driving drunk, or worse yet, skid off the road in snowy conditions. Is this an alignment problem?

I've been looking for a while for 1962 Chevy Bel Air door panels, specifically for a two-door sedan.
I have seen many finished Bel Airs on eBay with brand new door panels, and was wondering where they got them from.
If possible, I need a specific website from which I can buy these door panels, or if it would just be cheaper and easier to go with matching, custom panels.
I am also looking for new armrests (the ones that attach to the door panels) for the Bel Air, if you know where to find those also.
Thanks for any answers!

If measured with a dial indicator, how much sideplay in the primary throttle shaft is too much for this style of carb? Obviously, if it leaks air - that is too much. But I'm rebuilding it, and there is a small amount present, probably about .001-.002" It is barely audible when the shaft is rocked side to side.

seem like the engine temp takes a little while to get to normal, so i go on to turn on the heater, the air is warm but hot all the way up to speed 2, but after a while is just cold air, but if i go all the way up to speed 4 is just cold right away. the temp reads normal.

Myself, my mum and 1 yr old were involved in a crash today. Thankfully all ok except for bruises and aches!! I was just wondering where I stand with replacing the car seat. It was not our fault, a car pulled out in front of us, and we hit her. I know that car seats should not be used after an accident, but would it be covered by the other ladies insurance, as they are not cheap!

My brother lives in a different city as me. He is telling me that his car won't start. He says the speedometer goes all the way up then back down and it won't start. I don't think it's the battery because it has been replaced recently. ..please specify what type of "electrical problem it is" please help!
