1966 chevy impala ss with 327 eng and 2 speed powerglide auto trans. Has recently started slipping after it shifts into drive. I've made sure the fluid level is up, replaced the screen and vacuum modulator. I've attempted to adjust the low band - I can make it stick in low, but cannot improve the slipping after it shifts into drive. Also, after it starts to slip, sometimes if you give it enough gas (floor it) it'll go like hell. Is there anything I can do to remedy this while the tranny is still in the car? I'm not a professional mechanic, but have been rebuilding my various old engines for over 40 years now and would like to avoid a top dollar overhaul. As a side note, I also have a TH 350 that I could put in here. Does anybody know if this would bolt straight in without any modifications? Currently get 15/16 mpg with the powerglide and would hate to lose that mpg. Any ideas??? Thanks in advance...

Model CE. The headlights drain too much power from the battery because we rarely use the car for long distance driving.

My 93k Toyota lucida has gone from being the most reliable first time starter in the morning to being very hard to start in the morning. I recently emptied the water out of the diesel pump, as she just wouldn't start, then she grudgingly started. Just dunno what to do now, as I have to allow an extra ten mins in the morning. It's been a good car, I've covered 34,000miles in the two years I've had her, without a problem, now she's just a pain in the ****!! Anybody got any ideas what to do? Or shall I just fill her with concrete and dump her in the Manchester Ship Canal?

This car has been great, reliable, dependable, etc. It's a '92 240 sedan and it has 160,000 miles on it. Over the last four years my son has been driving it and lately he has been working on me to get rid of it and get him a different car. Granted, it has had some isues, but nothing major as far as the big items. I currently am facing having to pay about $1000 to repair a rear oil leak, plus a problem with the way that air and gasoline are mixing . Apparently, this mixing problem is causing the gas mileage to be very poor. Are there any mechanics out there with Volvo experience that can give me some advice. I would prefer not to get a different car, however I will if this car becomes too much of a burden.

I have a 2005 Elantra and about half the defrost lines on the back window have stopped working. It's still covered under the manufacturer's 5-year warranty, but does anyone know if that would be covered? I know a lot of electrical things are not covered.

Thanks.

Own a 2004 Corolla 4 cyl. It uses 2 quarts of oil EVERY 1000 miles. This is excessive. It does not burn it or leak it !! Dealership has no answer what so ever. There would be absolutely no oil left if I waited until scheduled oil change. Have to constantly check oil every week and carry oil in trunk. Is any body else experiencing this type of problem ? Even if U own a later or earlier model w/4 cyl. let me know if this sounds familiar. Who can I contact at Toyota ???

I am planning on buying a used BMW 318i automatic (the shape from mid 1999). I have seen a lot of cheap ones but with high mileage (100k +). I just wondered how many more miles before the autogear box packs up or needs serious attention. Thanks.

2000 Tacoma has a temperature control knob that will not rotate easily. It is very stiff in either direction and makes winter driving very uncomfortable. I followed the cable under the dash to make sure there was no obstructions and it looks fine. Is there a way to lubricate the under dash unit that controls the valve?

What is the maximum safe speed of a Dodge Stratus on the freeway? Usually I don't get the chance to drive over 70mph, but yesterday (I know someone...) who got to try going pretty much as fast as he wants. It seems that above 85mph steering isn't as responsive like the vehicle wasn't gripping the road as tightly as usual. It was very windy. Is it normal for cars to not handle as well at that speed? Could it have been the wind?
