Maintenance & Repairs - October 2006

I have a transmission slip or hestitation between 2nd and 3rd gear on my 89 nissan truck auto. It has been doing this for a year now but the condition hasn't gotten any better or worse. I checked the fluid several times and it was at the correct level. The fluid was cherry red in color and didn't smell burnt. When I wiped the fluid dipstick on a cloth it did leave a bit of black but the color iteself wasn't dark on the dipstick. Sometimes the slips are more pronounced that at other times. Sometimes I hardly feel anything at all. I only paid $800 for this vehicle and it has been running really good for the past year. Other than regular fluids, filters etc. I haven't spent a nickle on it. I'm just wondering if I a band or linkage adjustment will fix this problem or if I should just leave it alone. If I do have someone look at it will I get taken? I don't really want the transmission to fail by them putting in new, clean fluid which may cause it to slip more or fail completely. Advice?

I have a 96 cavalier that won't restart after driving it for 15 mins. or so.
If I wait 20 mins or so after shutting it off , it will restart. I've replaced the fuel pump (new). I can hear it running when the car is running.
The gastank is also new and have tried replacing the fuel filter twice. Anyone had this happen?

I bought a used 1992 Ford F150 truck that has glass packs on the exhaust system. I hate the loud noise these make. Can I have them removed? Does it cost much or take long to do this? What is involved?

I realize that it "filters." But what the heck does it filter. It's not like debris gets into your gas tank or if so, I haven't the slightest idea how. I have a Haynes Manual for my truck so I know how to replace it and how often--I just don't know what exactly their purpose is.

2 weeks ago I replaced my battery. Today when I tried to start it, it didn't start. I jump started and took the car to autozone for them to test the battery. When they were doing the test the car died and had to be jumped started again. When they went to test the alternator the car died again. They said it was the alternator so I took the alternator off and took it back to be tested. Autozone said it was fine. I didn't have the battery with me. Do I put the alternator back on? Get a new battery? Is something else going on? Could a radio drain a battery?

I have an enclosed aluminum trailer for snow machines and the aluminum is getting dull and grey looking. I've tried Mothers aluminum polish and it works with lots of elbow grease. Just wondering if there is a pad for a power tool or another chemical to try.
