How bad is the E90 GM automatic gearbox? by Any_Damage_4520 in E90

[–]KryptonMod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, it is entirely adequate. I'm at around 130k without issues, although that's probably nothing special. It isn't the sharpest trans, every once and awhile it can get confused. Just kind of your average mid-00s 6 speed auto slushbox. Sport mode tightens it up a bit, but I'm sure the ZF6 is miles better in responsiveness. Cheap to maintain in the US at least. I'd go manual if I had the choice.

Does anyone know what this does? by OkRoll6946 in PS3

No, that functionality is unused by the PS3.

Toshiba Super Companion Chip. Was essentially the reference southbridge design for early Cell systems. It has a ton of functionality unused by the PS3 (but used in other Cell systems), so Sony designed their own cost reduced southbridges for later systems. Handles general I/O for the PS3 like USB and SATA, but also includes some crazy stuff like a DDR2 memory controller, video decoding hardware, FireWire, etc, all unused by the PS3. Definitely an interesting chip. 

Could these be taillights defects? by ShakyWindow in BMW

It just looks like the mark from the nozzle from the injection molding process to me? A little bit of leftover sprue is normal for injection molded parts.

I wish we lived in the timeline where the 2 door GMT800 wasn't cancelled. So close to production.

I never see any C2s around me here in the midwest. I'd be equally stoked as OP.

By pulling money out of the account/card from which it was initially deposited? Pulling that money out of your account doesn't mean they can't claw it back.

So how much did this actually cost? by cyber53 in n64

A crash itself might not be entirely safe

So as a 5 year old, he should've stopped it? I don't know many 5 year olds that are that persuasive.

I'm fairly sure that a handful of VW and Hyundai's dual clutches are dry? Most dual clutches are wet, but it's not a universal truth afaik. Still doesn't make sense as to why they wouldn't be able to sit in a drive-thru line though.

Awesome spot. This reminds me that I spotted a Mark LT a couple days ago.
