My transmission Shift link is broken. I called the dealer and they are charging me 140 bucks for that part, I have a 97 thunderbird. Is that accurate pricing or am i getting ripped off? The part doesn't look like it would cost more than 40 bucks. What do you all think?

when I first take off in the morning acceleration is fine for about 5 minutes.After that it lurches when I step on the gas.At a steady speed it is fine.It will do this for about 15-20 miles then it stops lurching.It's still hard to accelerate and the gas pedal seems stiff(maybe that's just me).the engine has to work harder though to keep a steady speed .Rpm's are steady when it is lurching.

My car recently shot up to the red zone in temp. So we checked the fuses and one for the heat/ac was blown. (course car has no leaks in radiator and has plenty of fluid) so we bought a new fuse (25amp) put it in and it blew again. we unplugged the heater blower and put a new one in and it still blew. unplugged the radiator fan as well and it blew again. so we put in a new Thermostat and plugged everything back in. Im out of amps so I cant test it but I drove it round town and it still go hot (this time not all the way to the red zone)
Does anyone have any suggestions on whats going on? because I just drove this car across country and it was fine. now 2 weeks later this happens? Any ideas?

Following the instruction, I added a can of 134a refregerant into my 1999 Cadilac Catera when the engine and AC are running. But the AC is still very weak. What are possible problems?

A repair shop did it for me twice before and strong cooling effect did last several months.

I have a 1999 Altima I just bought and I need to reset the alram because the original owners said the alram kept going off and I think I need it back on to use the remote to unlock the doors. I bought a new remote, but it does not work. The red LED stays on in the car all the time. It does not flash like the newer cars do. I do not know if it is suppose to flash or not. Bottom line, I just want the remote to unlock the doors. I really do not care about the alarm, unless, it has to be on to use the remote. I have the instructions for the new remote, but it will not get pass the first step and I think the alarm thing is my problem. I am sure the remote is OK. Does anyone know the answer to these questions? Thanks all!

I had the head gasket replaced (cost $1,041.43) and the car is still overheating, I noticed that the fan (in front of the radiator) is not running unless the ac is on. My mechanic says it may be the sensor so now that is going to be replaced. The car heats up to 200 with in driving 2 miles. please help. Oh and the thermostat is supposedly working.

my jeep cherokee is leaking coolant from the drain plug. I replaced the plug today, coolant still leaks. It is dripping out of the center of the plug, there is a hole that runs all the way through, like a drinking straw. I replaced the plug with the exact same plug that came out of the jeep from the factory. Why is it leaking and How do I get it to stop. Thanks

I just bought a new car and my old one has been sitting in my drive for about a week and a half.

I got brand new tires put on the car in January and have not had a problem. The tires were absolutely fine when I parked the car in the back drive. Now all of a sudden both tires on the same (right) side are flat. I had them filled a few days ago and parked the car again - tonight they are flat AGAIN.

What could have cause them to go flat when the car hasn't been used?

I just dropped an engine in my 92 Grand Am. I never drove it before this. I drove it for the first time today. Around town it did fine. I got on the interstate for fifteen miles. When I got off the ramp and hit my first red light, CLUNK!! It stalled, like I didn't push the clutch in, but this is an automatic transmission. I started it, then dropped it into drive. CLUNK! Again I started it and , CLUNK! I know absolutely nothing about an A/T. If there is a tranny specialist out there that can help, I'd appreciate it.
Now for the strange part. I got in it this afternoon, drove it home. No problems. No stall, no nothing, just like a new car. I am stumped and broke now. Any advise would be cool and the Gang.

I have a 1995 Honda Accord and I need a new engine. I'm told a brand new engine would cost me about $5000. I definitely can't afford this kind of debt and a new car just isn't in the stars for me right now unless I come into some money or meet a kind-hearted rich person. It seems my only other option is to get a re-manufactured engine, but I'm not sure if going to the dealer where I purchased my car is the best option.

It's getting hotter and more of a nuisance now. I have a 1999 Chevy Lumina 4 door Car that I just recently purchased. I have to keep it on a certain setting (the one with the man sitting and the air hits both his face and his feet-whatever that one means!), and the air only comes out of the vents when I have my foot on the brake or not hitting the gas at all.

This really sucks.

However, when I have my foot on the brake, it works beautifully - as beautifully as it can on the ONE setting.

Can anybody tell me what the problem is and how I can possibly fix it? Keep in mind I am not a wealthy person-so "buying a new car" won't work!

I have a 94 Infinity Q45a that runs great until you turn the AC on, then the idle drops down considerably and is rough. When driving and have to stop fast it dies. Any idea what this might be? Thanks!

Does anyone know if there are any basic car maintenance courses that a woman can take either in person or online? I live in the New York/New Jersey area? I have a new car and want to learn as much as possible since I don't want to be ripped off by mechanics.
