#71 of 120 Flushing the transmission fluid by jodar96 Nov 27, 2007 (6:14 pm)
I much rather have them drop the pan, clean the pan, replace the filter/screen, put it together and then flush the whole thing. Flushing without removing the pan is a lazy way to get it done. My 96 Camry had a drain plug in the trasmission pan, once a year I was able to drain and replace about 3 quarts at a time.   Joe Replies to this message: jetstang (Nov 27, 2007 8:02 pm) akirby (Nov 27, 2007 8:25 pm)

Replying to: jodar96 (Nov 27, 2007 6:14 pm) You should change the filter also, but I think we all agree that any maintenance is better than no maintenance. As for my brakes, bleed the brakes for an hour, never got a decent pedal, I think you have to get the piston to rotate back out to get a full pedal, I don't know??? Drove it around the block, and the caliper is still sticking and the rotor is too hot to touch and smells like it's burning, new caliper tomorrow. Oh, make sure you flush your brake fluid also Is there a link for changing the clock spring, and how do you disable the air bag since the fuse box is so nicely marked.

#73 of 120 Phenolic vs metal piston in caliper by jetstang Nov 27, 2007 (8:11 pm)
Hey, I am replacing my caliper on my 01 LS and have a choice of Phenolic or metal piston in the caliper. I didnt' know they made phenolic pistons, and that would cure the piston corrosion problems if they are strong enough to live. Any one with any experience with this? Thanks.

Replying to: jetstang (Nov 27, 2007 8:02 pm) There is no reason to change the filter. If there is enough crap in there to clog up the filter, the tranny is already toast. This advice comes from a former transmission engineer. He flushes his every 30K but doesn't drop the pan.

#79 of 120 high acceleration engine cutting out by richman1 Jan 27, 2008 (7:22 pm)
I have been having a problem on quick acceleration. My car runs fine at almost any speed, but when I push it to the floor and goes to a lower gear it coughs and misses. Does anyone know what that sounds like?
