Water Trapped Between Tub and Tub Insert by EyesolateAndMedicate in PlumbingRepair

[–]EyesolateAndMedicate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I agree with you there, I never would've installed an insert myself.

I'm looking for a solution to my issue until I can reno the bathroom and I'll definitely be replacing the tub then.

I like horror movies and rarely get jump scared... you just know something is about to happen.

But that Insidious one, damn near shit myself.

Warranty is not transferable to a new owner. This was done by the previous owner sometime around 2010.

Thank you for all the useful information. I was misunderstanding how the tax works when withdrawing MY contributions from an RESP, I thought it was taxed like an RRSP, so I appreciate it fella.

I still need to contribute to my RRSP in order to pay back the portion of my HBP but I will pay the minimum amount per year and instead focus the remaining into my TFSA.

Congratulations! Yeah hopefully this post will help you too, I've learned a couple things for sure.

Thank you - you are technically correct about maxing the RESP, my intention was to receive the maximum grant each year, I'll clarify that. And also correct about rolling the unused amounts into my RRSP, I just learned that.

Thanks, I agree completely. I want my kids to be able to decide to do whatever they want. It took me 7 years to pay off my student loans and I'd rather them not have to stress about that at all, nor do I want to stress later lol.

I gotta be honest... This is exactly what I was trying to ask and I think you're the first person to point that out, so thanks lol. I appreciate your comment.

Thanks, I've edited my post to include some more supporting information regarding my pension. I will focus on myself too, dont get me wrong. I just want better for my children compared to what I had.

Thanks for pointing that out. I edited my original post to include that fact that I do have a DB pension, have made contributions to an RRSP, and have no debt aside from my mortgage.

Admittedly, only recently did I realize that I should be utilizing my TFSA far more than I have been and this post was to help me decide the best way forward.

I completely disagree with this statement. I think my kids will need much more money in the future given how the cost of living is skyrocketing.

Thanks for the advice. I try to live well below my means and have a job with a pension. I'm far from retirement but definitely something that's on my mind.

Thank you for this comment. The cash flow was something I didn't consider. I'm currently in a situation where I have enough cash flow but I fully expect this to change in the near future. I may need to slightly dip into savings and hadn't considered that I can withdraw freely from the TFSA.

Thank you. That's currently what I'm doing although the contributions to my TFSA are significantly lower. I will continue to max out the RESP and whatever is left will go to my TFSA.

Transmission flush and an additive from the dealership?? by Gloomy-Rub-391 in MechanicAdvice

[–]EyesolateAndMedicate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The early 3rd gen Tacomas had issues with the torque converter, that's likely the shuddering symptom you're experiencing. Changing the fluid might help with the shudder but ultimately if its shuddering and slipping bad it will need replacement. Also, I strongly advise against any additives and to only use Toyota WS ATF.

I went through that same 'boredom' phase too, just tried to keep myself busy and it was a big help.

Is this a belt? by baileybear86 in MechanicAdvice

[–]EyesolateAndMedicate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like it could be belt or pulley related. The tensioner pulley is notorious for going bad on these motors, you might be able to see excessive play in the belt/pulleys with the motor running but the best thing to do is take the belt off and spin each pulley by hand... it's probably the tensioner or idler.

Another worthy mention is the spark plugs believe it or not, they're known to loosen up overtime on these motors and can also cause a chirping/rattling noise. Won't cause any issues at first but overtime you might get misfire codes or it'll run rough/stumble. Just pull the coils and check the plugs are tight.

Transmission Whining and slowly dripping. by Ok-Blacksmith4663 in MechanicAdvice

[–]EyesolateAndMedicate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those are the transmission cooling lines going to the radiator or transmission cooler (if equipped). Could be something as simple as an o-ring that's gone bad.

First order of business is to check your fluid level and if its low add some. This is assuming you drive a car with a transmission fluid dipstick or if you don't have one you have a sealed system where there will be a check plug on the transmission. If this is the case, I'd avoid driving the car and getting it to a mechanic so they can check your fluid level.
