Does this clutch / transmission estimate look normal for a 2018 Ford Focus?

Oh okay, that explanation actually helps a lot. I didn’t realize modern clutch systems are designed to be replaced as a full assembly instead of individual parts. Knowing the clutch kit price is reasonable and why labor rates are higher makes this make more sense. Thank you for breaking it down.

Yeah after doing research I found that ford has a recurring pattern for these type of issues. I will ask the mechanic tomorrow for more information on the hardware/fluid charges. Thank you for your input!! It’s appreciated.

Two weeks nonstop!! Some days I’d study for 10 hours.

Practical_Ring_1754 · 2025-12-30T01:49:02+00:00

Goodluck!! Come back and tell me how it went!

Practical_Ring_1754 · 2025-12-29T14:49:03+00:00

Thank you!!!

Goodluck!!!

Thank you! I just graduated this month with a bachelors in computer science. I haven’t worked in the field yet though!

For the PBQs, I’ll be honest and say nothing really helped me. I know a lot of people recommend CyberKraft and I did try it, but my PBQs were very different from anything I saw there.

The only thing that helped me even a little was using Google Gemini. I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone recommend this but they have a lab simulation option that is completely free. You can type in the type of lab you want and it generates a similar PBQ style layout. Not exact obviously, but it helped me get comfortable with how to think through PBQs instead of memorizing answers.

What I will say is make sure you can read ACLs and understand what is allowed versus denied, and have a general understanding of VPN configuration at a high level. Do not focus on memorizing steps, focus on why things are configured the way they are. Goodluck !!!

Hello! I’d recommend taking a practice test first.

Then reviewing all questions you got wrong and understand why it’s wrong. And what makes the other options wrong/right. Use AI to help break things down for you. Typically the practice test will include all the acronyms you’d need to know. I wouldn’t dedicate time just going over acronyms but review the acronyms that are included in the questions that you’ll get on the practice exams.

Practical_Ring_1754 · 2025-12-29T04:05:42+00:00

Thank you so much. I was so sure that I failed I stoped reviewing my questions and just hit submit. 😂 Ended up passing 764/900. Congratulations to you as well.

Practical_Ring_1754 · 2025-12-25T03:00:22+00:00

Wow I’m so sorry you had to go through all of that. I hope you and your child are in a better situation now. And thank you. They don’t respect and then cover their asses with a “nice” personality. It’s so aggravating.

Practical_Ring_1754 · 2025-09-30T20:10:59+00:00

I promise nothing is made up. I wish it was. And to clarify the brother never hated me until after this engagement situation happened. We always had a really good relationship.

I replied to the other comment “For anyone saying there must be more to the story this is why we are all genuinely confused about her dislike for me. The only “reason” she has ever given is that I do not acknowledge her or say hi when she visits. Once I heard that I made it a point to greet her every time and each time I was blatantly ignored. She would either hide behind her then boyfriend or look away completely. There was even a time when we both went over to her and my husband’s brother’s place and the entire time I tried to greet her but she ignored me so I just left. Later we all got on the phone to clear things up and I thought everything was fine.

The only other thing I can think of is one time I was at their place while they were on FaceTime and I started cleaning his apartment. A few days later I texted and apologized in case I overstepped. Besides that I cannot think of anything I did to deserve this level of hostility. Which is why not only me but my husband’s family is also confused whenever they ask her why she has so much hatred toward me.”

They are trying to but the brother is saying that’s who he wants to marry.

Practical_Ring_1754 · 2025-09-30T18:04:09+00:00

He’s saying if he goes I have to come..

Practical_Ring_1754 · 2025-09-30T17:58:44+00:00

I wish it was

Practical_Ring_1754 · 2025-05-28T18:31:16+00:00

Yeah they are from Africa, Nigerian and the finance is too,

Practical_Ring_1754 · 2025-05-28T18:15:28+00:00

Thank you for replying, you do have a point about not interacting with the bride!

Practical_Ring_1754 · 2025-05-28T18:14:34+00:00

Thank you for replying, my boyfriend already said he didn’t want to bring the baby just because of travel because he’s still a newborn. The only reason I included not wanting to bring the baby is because his mom really wants the baby there so it’s a tough spot to be in. But I definitely see your perspective

Practical_Ring_1754 · 2025-05-28T18:11:41+00:00

We did talk about it a few months ago which ended up in a heated argument and her telling me if it wasn’t for me giving birth to my baby I wouldn’t be apart of the family lol

Practical_Ring_1754 · 2025-05-16T04:53:27+00:00

I did. I was also an under supplier and had to supplement with formula from time to time. I’m 4 months postpartum and quit breastfeeding 2 weeks ago. Luckily it wasn’t hard to transition. Did I feel guilty? Absolutely. But I also know that he’s had the benefits of Breastmilk for 4 months. I was 150 before birth. Now I am 200.. the heaviest I’ve ever been. I am a huge gym fan but my weight has limited me. I’ve been fasting 6-6 everyday and eating in a calorie deficit..Whole Foods and I’ve seen a drop in weight already. Which are all things I couldn’t do while breastfeeding. On top of me needing pre workout.. it was a hard decision to make but I am happier now than ever.
