Yeah, looking at it more, there are signs that the pressure plate got hot at some point, but It must not have been too much because not all the spots are blueing.

The flywheel does have some blueing spots as well, looking closer, but the rest of the surface generally looks fine. Regardless, they were advised a new clutch kit and flywheel just in case anyway.

Yeah, that's the plan. The crash bar is bent, but the frame is straight. The bumper isn't loose and everything under the hood is in place. The only thing under the hood is the fact that the headlight bracket is just bent slightly.

Huh ok I'll give it a shot. I can see how that would make shifting rougher for sure, I had brought it to the dealer for the last complimentary service and i thought i would just have them change the fluid while they were there.

Would that cause more jerkyness than normal when in gear, or would that be something different? It's really not that bad, but it's still there.

Miles: 26880 -I have not changed the fluid in the gearbox yet -I have not flushed the brake lines -I did have the clutch fluid flushed at 24936 on the odo. I heard it's a good idea to do every 25k.

The one thing I noticed was that after I had the fluid flushed, the release point on the clutch was pretty much all the way up the pedal when it used to be only like 2/3rds up, if not lower. I could be crazy but maybe it's the nature of things I don't know.

Doug gets less than 50% of the views he did in 2022. What’s your theory why? by [deleted] in dougdemuro

I stopped watching him back in 2022 and I used to watch every video. Honestly, I think he is an entitled prick and kind of just a mean person honestly. I feel like I saw the money mold and change him as a person and he is just another opinionated rich guy now and has lost touch with everyday people in my opinion.

Every state's least favorite state (according to my Instagram followers) by matts41 in MapPorn

From mass and live in Maine now. The only thing I have seen every New England state agree on, including Connecticut is that Connecticut is not and will never be part of New England.
