Maintenance & Repairs - July 2007

What would be the best way to try to get into mechanics...im not planning on it being my occupation but i want to be able to work on my own cars and what not. I really havent had any mechanicall knowledge in my life so im pretty much fresh out the whomb(sp?) on this one. Should i start with getting some sort of manuall or should i try to contact a local colleges(im 16 so i dunno if i can take any of their classes) or should i try to contact a garage and ask around for help? Im not exspecting it to be easy. I have the motivation im always under my hood looking at everything(never tried taking anything apart befor) also it would probbly be good idea for me to start on something not as exspensive maybe like a lawn mower. Right? Any help is appreciated.

What are signs to look for? My brakes seem to work fine but the fluid in my master cylinder is low and mostly brown colored, is it time for a change? Should I simply add more fluid or bleed the entire system? My mechanic will do it for sixty bucks Canadian.

It is an automatic with a super sport feature, the works, etc. The gear shifter keeps locking up, and there is a key hole for your key, which unlocks it and lets you put it into neutral, etc... Where can I find the safety feature wire that I can bypass by unplugging, and replacing the empty sockets with wires? Once again where is the gear shifter safety feature that prevents the car from going anywhere while your in Park or Neutral located at? Please help this gal out. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Also is it possible that when i drive the car i get some kind of pull when the car changes speed at 25,30 or 35(usually low speeds) that this is the result of gear change(automatic transmission).but can it be like the car was manual first and then changed to automatic or maybe engine shows the gear change even though its automatic?
i also passed my nj state inspection today without any problems,so what r the things that i should feel free for my car now.i know my car makes brake noise but then it passed insp in 5 min so i dont know if its a big concern anymore!thanks!!

I just went to change my girl's blades and I've done them on most cars...but I haven't seen this type in real life or on the internet...
It looks like a 5 or 6 pin metal star...No hooks or flaps or anything that looks familiar...
I've already bought a new set...that was supposed to fit...but it looks nothing like the old ones...
Thanks for any answers...

I heard that if you add "transmission fluid" to your fuel injectors, that it is bettter than any fuel injector cleaner; is this ture?

Has anyboby used this method and has any information about it - how much fluid, how much to add to the fuel tank, advantages/disadvantages of using this transmission fluid, etc, etc.
