What I do is when I'm slowing down, I clutch, then put the car in the gear I'm intending to use after I slow or stop and hold the clutch down while I'm waiting or I clutch and put the car in neutral and release the clutch until I'm ready to go. My hubby says I'm riding the clutch. Is this good or bad? I can change gears very smoothly with no problem, but he doesn't like me clutching style. I had to teach myself to drive a standard many years ago and this is only my 2nd standard car. What am I doing wrong? He's a trucker, but I know the clutching is different between an 18 wheeler and a 5 speed. Any advice from you professionals out there to help me settle this dispute and maybe save my clutch and pressure plate and tranny? I'd appreciate only mature answers and none of the I'm too old for this kind of car insults. It's just a car. I love it and don't want to tear it up. My first manual tranny was a Mustang and replaced a clutch with in 3 months. I thank you for helping. God Bless you.

The van has cold front and rear a/c. But only the front heater blows hot air. I have had the rear heater core changed and the system flushed. What other options are there.

I CANT LOCK OR UNLOCK MY DOOR FROM A DISTANCE LIKE WHEN ITS RAINING. IT WOULD BE NICE TO JUST USE THE KEY CHAIN TO UNLOCK IT BEFORE I GET IN THE CAR.

i would like to know what you think a rough estimate would be for a 1979 Trans am. the cars body is in fairly good shape, no major rust or damage, just small dents and stuff that would be common for a car this old. the car has no engine or transmission. the interior is compleatly gone and the floor boards have been removed. this car would be a great project car. the reason i ask is cause this car is in danger of being crushed and i am thinking about purchasing the car and then reselling it. if i was in the position of restoring the car i would but i already have a 79' camaro and a 68' camaro that i'm working on. i would just like to know how much you think i could sell the car for.

P.S. I live outside st. louis, if that has any bearing on the cars value.

I have a Ford 460 in running condition, and a pair of Schwitzer turbos to go onto it eventually. I also have an Edelbrock performer intake manifold for a 390FE, and matching headers, that might fit this?. I plan to arrange the turbos to feed a 650CFM Holley in blow-thru setup, and run MSD-6AL ignition off the stock distributor's inductive pickup. I will use a high performance electric fuel pump, and a boost-compensating regulator, to ensure consistent fuel delivery.

I plan to lower the compression either with .125" copper head gaskets, or dished forged pistons, either are 30cc changes to get 8:1 compression. I want to run an appropriate amount of boost, but not into the range of gambling with wrecking the engine.

For those experienced with the 460, what are its flaws and vulnerable parts? What parts need to upgrade, which are good enough from factory? I don't plan on boosting more than maybe %15 on horsepower.

This is going in a 4x4 F250 with a C6 Automatic and Dana 60s

I have just purchased a transmission mount for my 1995 toyota pickup.I noticed that there is a bolt that goes through (from bottom to top) the middle of the mount it's self, with a nut on the other side (top) of the mount.

Doe anyone know how far to screw, or how to set this bolt?

What is the reason for this bolt?
