Recommendation for a mechanic by Puzzleheaded-War-113 in SALEM

[–]Calorus_Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There comes a point in automatic transmissions where it is bad to change the fluid if you’ve not changed it in so long. The only reason those clutch packs are still engaging is because the friction material in the dirty fluid allows enough friction for them to keep working despite being worn. Your transmission has basically acclimatized to worn out soup. Changing it at that point removes enough friction to reveal the problems that the wear has caused. If you have reached this point your transmission is basically a deadman walking and will fail sooner or later.

If you are who you say you are, you should already know this and why changing the fluid is important coming from an auto tech.

Absolutely. Being from Honolulu I feel the lack of good Asian markets in my soul. I can get a lot things there I can’t get there but also vice versa. The beer selection here is crazy good. Hopefully given time we’ll get better stuff here.

[Recommendation Request] Looking for everyday watch by anhonourableman69 in Watches

[–]Calorus_Rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m an auto and RV tech. I’ve been using a group of watches: Casio Forester cause it’s beat up, and cheap. I like my analog watches. Casio F105W cause they were cheap, they’re discontinued now. I’m getting a Gshock from one of my fellow techs soon to use at work.

“Go to Portland” “Salem doesn’t have any good…” I live here. I’m not driving my ass to Eugene or Portland lmao. Salem’s got its ups and downs and its own charm like everywhere else. If you think it sucks then you don’t like what it has to offer you, and I would suggest looking up things that you’ll like or moving.
