The thing you guys don't seem to grasp about these transmissions is... it's not the long smokey burn out that usually hurts them.. it's the sudden power used to tear the tires free which does the damage.

So go ahead and keep chirping and being semi nice to your tires..lol
Click to expand...

Ive always thought this its torque "spikes" as in when the tires grab or like when the tires spin on a wet road then grab a dry patch thats what breaks parts right? or of course taking an off ramp at about 65-70 lol blew up a gt diff doing that back in hs oops. Lucky it only spit the parts out the diff cover and didnt take out the trans case.......
 
Yeah.. pretty much. That's one of the reasons GM put in torque management at shifts. Reduce power, shift happens and then you get back into power.
 


I'll have to beat on it more often then lol. Usually if it makes a noise, does anything funny at all, it gets floored a few times and I never hear/feel the issue again
 
I can sqeak the tires only if I'm at a dead stop and the road type is right or I build up the RPMs.

Also wooo, my car is slow anyway like 0-60 in like 8 seconds. Woo

some dark fluid right there.

best part of this one man bleeder is you take the cap off then find another used water bottle, take its cap and cap the full bottle, then use the new bottle for the bleeder. nice and clean.
 


i wish i knew. my friend had like 20 feet of it on the wall. im like i wonder if that would fit good? it did, so i lopped off 2 feet. it could fit tighter, but this one is just snug enough.

makes life easy if you work alone a lot like i do. bleeding brakes dont have to be a 2 man job.

you do waste some fluid but thats the price you pay for working alone lol
 
Brake fluid is cheap enough, I usually buy a big ass jug of it. I need another because I left my old one in Ohio. I have a feeling I'm gonna get screwed. One of the bolts that holds the caliper bracket to the HUB was missing some threads thanks to the PO and was a son of a gun to get it started and the slide bolts are seized good so I'll probably break something in time.

Oh and here's a little picture of the shop. There's way more to it than just what you see.

Yeah I probably won't get the refillable one since my dorm doesn't have a real kitchen in my room. I'll have to rotate with my roommate buying cups. But that's not a big deal. Remember when bday gifts used to be fun and now you get practical stuff lol like I miss getting remote control cars and ****
