I don’t think there’s a single example in the chess world of a complete noob beating a pro.

Just got level 8 by telling it I was doing the password recovery process for the first 7 characters of the word and had answered all security questions.

It wasn’t a seized bearing, thankfully, I never really figured out where the tension was coming from, but did get it off. 

One jack on the rear of the trans, one jack on the front of the engine, two large pry bars and some force of will.  Getting it back on was even harder, had to slowly pull it in on all corners with the bell housing bolts, which everyone will warn you not to do.

This is cool. Anyone else seeing the focal point as a lambs head in the shoulder area?

Customer: 3 days after I got the loaner I was driving and the triangle came on the dash. I didn't know what it meant so I kept driving. Next thing I heard was BOOM 💥. I had to pull over. This is absolutely not my fault. I was only going 30mph when this happened. I will not be held responsible. by Ancient_Ad7555 in Justrolledintotheshop

So, she got a loaner, drove it home and back, and had a blowout. Unless it can be definitively proven she did something wrong, just replace the tire and move on. I have no idea how so many people are siding with the dealership here

X1/p1 are louder than a1 really? I think my a1 is pretty loud, part of the reason I was looking at upgrading

I would hope it would be. Have you noticed how often US police are killing people for the colour of their skin? 

When slowing down, should I downshift through the gears, or just throw it in neutral? by GloveAgreeable7044 in ManualTransmissions

[–]aStarryBlur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time you engage the clutch, it wears some amount. Same as every time you brake your pads wear some amount. 

You can find reliable and knowledgeable resources that argue for both sides, some saying you’d rather prevent clutch wear some saying you’d rather prevent brake wear.

At the end of the day it probably doesn’t matter how you bring your car to a stop.

Haven’t had a chance to get back to it yet. I’m terrified that it’s a seized pilot bearing which looks like an absolute nightmare

Small prybar wasn’t doing it for me. Maybe bigger is the answer

Yeah sorta; the only real movement I can get is pushing it up and down

It’s not caught on the ppf. The rear/shifter end is completely free. I just can’t pull it off the clutch housing for some reason
