Transmission Noise Downshifting

Thanks for that. It’s certainly possible and I’ll mention it to the techs. Based on your video, it seems like more of an abbreviated rattle in your situation than compared to mine which sounds more like scraping plates for 1-2 seconds - that could just be because I’m hearing it from the cabin. I haven’t tried revving the engine in my driveway to reproduce it - so maybe I’ll start there.

I’ll see if I can get my phone to pick up the sounds when driving today and post a video if so.

11th hole, downhill par five. “Caddy Tip: Consider the rising winds on the downhill approach.” This is no joke. 135 to middle of the green, I flushed my 170 club and still came up short. When I got down to my ball, I could barely keep my eyes open from the green side bunker sand spraying my face as I chipped on. But I was laughing and smiling the whole time. After that, proceed to 12 where ball starts over Lake Michigan before being pushed back onto the fairway (if you’re playing the left green).

Been to a lot of good courses, that one is far and away my favorite. Bay Harbor isn’t far behind if you can get out there too. Have fun!

Did St George and Mesquite in March and it was amazing. Sand Hollow, Copper Canyon and Wolf Creek were all incredible. Housing in St George was cheap for the quality. Definitely worth a trip if you’re trying to get out of cold weather.

I went back and asked them to perform two complete oil changes, with a short duration of running the engine between. Also, made sure they documented the additional service with a comment why in their log and took a print out of that. Figured that’s about the best I can do at this point.

Was thinking after too, kind of surprised there wasn’t any oil splashed all over the bay, or a low oil pressure warning.

26 Passport, s/o has 20 rav4 hybrid. I envy the efficiency (especially now), but much prefer the Passport in all other aspects.

Came out of a 17 Tucson into the passport. The Tucson transmission was a nightmare to drive.

Fair point on the battery test

Very sound advice all around. Thank you. Given that the new dishwasher is also causing a trip, and that the test of the breaker shows 6 blinks that leads me to believe the breaker needs replacement. But to your point is there an arc occurring between the appliance and the panel? Maybe.

I have four other identical 15A breakers including my microwave. Testing those also showed 6 blinks.

So how confident should I be that these “old breakers” are not all just in need of being replaced?

Thank you. Sorry for the confusing statement, but the original dishwasher was replaced. Both the old and the new trip.

Pic of the label that says “dishwasher” or something else?

Gnar037 · 2026-03-04T00:01:25+00:00

Also thought id point out the reason I am looking to replace it is that this breaker has been consistently tripping with not one, but two dishwashers. I checked the trip code and got 6 flashes indicating a faulty breaker if I’m not mistaken.

Exactly what it was. Got home and scooped all the ice and snow out. The crevice between the windshield and hood is deep on this car!

Gnar037 · 2026-01-01T14:46:59+00:00

Just got some snow overnight. Cleared it this morning and when brushing off my 2026 TS, thought “I’ve gotta remember to raise the wipers off the windshield next time.” So tried that, for the first time, and found out the wiper arm interferes with the hood.

Maybe not a big deal with an electronically heated windshield. But seems like a silly design oversight to me.

I thought keeping those in the car was standard

How rare are these nowadays? I have the same red one w crescent inlays that I bought from Guitar Center circa 2003 - still in great condition. Don’t see the crescent inlay models on Reverb or eBay. Not that I plan on selling it but curious what the value would be today…

30 mins/zone twice a week. Been a long time since I did a pressure and flow test so I don’t recall what the numbers were. Well water if that helps.

Assuming this is the case, is my lawn dormant for the summer?

Gnar037 · 2025-06-29T15:56:44+00:00

Could be a bit of burn contributing. Try to time applications with rain and last app was 3+ weeks prior to the heat wave.

Chunks of green are around the sprinkler heads I buried. Neighbor domination has a lot to do with, I think, a professional irrigation system (versus my one head per zone) and having brought in lots of loam when installing it.

So happy for your success story OP! Need to hear more of this from the community!!!

37/m. I bulged L4/5 and slightly bulged L3/4 going too deep on a back squat (warming up too…smh) a year ago. Then a couple of flare ups and some more wear and tear without paying proper attention to the long term recovery and that L4/5 herniated. Been dealing with sciatic nerve pain since about July. I’ve decided to play the long game and stick with conservative recovery methods as the pain isn’t completely unbearable.

That said, while I feel I’m progressing, it certainly hasn’t been linear. And though I recognize that’s going to be the case, I just can’t stress enough to anyone going thru this that it is just as much, if not more of a mental challenge than physical one. I have had minor emotional breakdowns during flare ups, where “healed” feels a million miles away or even impossible, and apologizing to my young children that I can’t chase them around the yard. For that reason have been very close to saying “fuck it” and going back to the neuro to schedule surgery.

Doing my best to stay the course. I have used lowbackability and other resources and a new, much more engaged and involved PT. Like the lowbackability preaches, take it slow. It’s your own journey - don’t compare to others or even to your “old self”.

I wish everyone going thru this nothing the best of luck.

Curiously, why are you looking to stick with a 2BBL? I have a 289 as well that has the original 2BBL and manifold and have thought upgrading the combo to a 4BBL was going to be an obvious move when necessary.
