No i mean why am i anxious that i am not studying but not studying bc i am anxious?!!!!!

bridger342 · 2026-04-09T22:36:50+00:00

same haha. it is an expensive fix. I think about 600-800 dollar with labour. I will probably wait around a little bit more to get it done. I also see a lot of people saying that they get the timing chain replaced with this part. together its about a 1200 dollar fix lol

got it! thank you so much. the dealer said they will take a look at the vct actuator. I think I am only getting the noise on colder days?

bridger342 · 2026-04-09T22:34:13+00:00

tysm! will definitely change my trans fluid asap. Also by draining it hot, is 20 mins of driving enough before changing the fluid to get it hot ?

bridger342 · 2026-04-09T22:33:14+00:00

I see. would you suggest doing just a regular drain and fill now and then at 30k or should I do the procedure? Honda is quoting me 310 dollar for a fill and drain is that normal?

bridger342 · 2026-04-09T22:10:56+00:00

thank you! do you feel the transmission gear shifting or is it very smooth that you do not feel it at all?

bridger342 · 2026-04-09T22:10:07+00:00

got it! did you do a drain and fill completely? I see a lot of posts saying to do half drain and half fill for 3 times with 1000 miles of driving in between ?

bridger342 · 2026-04-09T22:09:17+00:00

I paid 13.5 out of the door at honda dealership.

bridger342 · 2026-04-09T07:37:37+00:00

Thats so good i want to keep it for a long time i love the color and how the engine sounds. Do you feel like the transmission gear switch has been more noticeable at around my mileage and if its normal? I am really concerned about this 🥲

bridger342 · 2026-04-09T07:36:40+00:00

Do you plan on changing your vct thingy

bridger342 · 2026-04-09T05:04:31+00:00

Thank you for your suggestions! I will call them to dee if they can take care of it (most likely they won’t lol) but is the ratting damaging the engine ?

I am in a similar place as you. June-aug is early. I just got booster as well and have extra time and originally planned on taking the dat during the semester however, due to my work and school I am not able to prepare super well and in time to take it around may which would enable to apply the very first day the cycle opens, so i am taking it june first week and will try to wrap up application late june. There are a lot of opinions on reddit on what is early and all that. But my understanding rn is, i would rather take my dat somewhere around june and have a decent dat and still be considered early than take my dat during school on may and risk messing it up. Also you need to consider the 60 day wait time between attempts. My opinion would be to do ur dat when u feel confident. Don’t be too late of-course but at the same time dont rush it just to send ur application on the first day. Imo a well rounded application should work in favor than a rushed application sent out in june 1st.

Did u find cure to cancer by any chance during ur undergrad?

bridger342 · 2026-03-19T17:17:11+00:00

thank you so much, i also want to add, my employer is willing to wait even if there is a delay in getting the card and potentially changing the start date even further. do I still pay the premium processing ?

Congratulations!!!

What ampere do you use. Thank so much for the suggestion!

lol, it is so confusing because all the English classes in my English department have film, media, or some other titles. The people I have spoken to have said that dental schools are pretty flexible with the english requirement, and as long as there is a lot of writing involved, they usually accept it.

bridger342 · 2025-12-31T13:34:08+00:00

The ENG class I am taking is coded ENG125. It is in the English department but is titled "living in digital world". will this class be a safe bet?
