Probably slipping out of gear. My knowledge of automatics is limited to old school hydramatic but my theory has been one of the planetary gear sets disengage forcing you down a gear, which is why he got a handful of neutrals the first two tries.

Aren't Honda automatics more akin to a regular manual box but with clutches instead of selector forks/rings? Note: I have never ever touched an auto box from Honda or otherwise.

Fifty Three posted:First time I've heard them called anything other than "hubcentric" rings. Neat. The special ed techs at my local tire shop stripped out both rear hubs on my previous car because they forgot to the hub rings back in when I went in for a rotation/balance. I left, drove around and would get a vibration at around 60 mph, took it back, rebalanced, same issue. Third time I brought it back in, the manager goes to check and notices the hubrings are missing. I no longer let those monkeys touch my car, I'll do my own balancing and rotation from here on out.

So I heard a loud crash outside our shop today. I go outside to see what it was, and look across the alley that divides our shop from the Hyundai dealership shop...

Well that's not gone well, thats not gone well at all. Meanwhile at the service writers desk. Sw: hi we need to keep the car for a few days we need to order a part C:really I just have it in for an oil change and rotation. Sw: yeah well the crush washers for the lugs are out of stock and we are out of oil filters for this model. Should be just a few days well drive a loaner out to your house so you don't need to come all the way here.

At least it's easy to get at the suspension when it's like that, and it looks like it needs some repairs. Everyone wins!

Plinkey posted:"How would you like a new car?" HA.. you don't know dealers. My friend worked for a dealership.. Went to deliver a truck to a customer ~60 miles away.. it started snowing and he put it into a guardrail and damaged the bodywork on the bed a bit. Called customer "Um.. it's starting to snow a bit, I don't want to smash up your new truck.. I'll deliver it next week when I'm back at work." Back to the body shop for a repair. Delivered back to the customer.. nothing was ever mentioned.

This morning I went to rotate the tires on the subie. It's a new to me car, so I haven't gone over it all the way, and apparently the PO had some tires installed on the front. Luckily the tread depths are all the same, but the installers put the tires on the wheels with the 'inside' facing to the outside. Drove by discount tire and had them flip em around, x pattern rotate, and pull a nail from the left rear. Is there any problem with running tires 'inside out' like that? I assume tires are labeled 'inside' and 'outside' for some reason. e: after some quick googling, another poor soul had these michelin defender x greens installed backwards on his prius too, someone posted: quote:According to Tire Rack, Michelin Defenders have a "mildly asymmetric tread design" which is why they have inside/outside markings. You should get them remounted in the correct orientation ASAP. The dealer should correct this at no charge to you. I wonder if this is that strange growling noise this car's been making.

Yes, some tires do have an inside and outside, some are rotational, some are both. As long as its directional and not asymetric, doing a xrotation like that is fine. If it says inside on the outside, they're going to perform like poo poo. My Continental DSW and WinterExtremes both have an inside and outside, but are not directional.

HOW do you gently caress up racking a car that get racked on pinch welds. I dont even bend over when racking poo poo like that, just kick the feet under it.

I can't completely tell from here but it kinda looks like only one arm went up (or the right arm was not solidly under the car and slipped out) and that's why it flipped sideways instead of forward or backwards.

If only one arm went up hopefully the operator would notice it as soon as the car starts to come off the ground, not when it's five feet up.

There's a metric gently caress load of cars you can and will absolutely destroy or break things on doing it this way and if you haven't yet it's because you keep clicking on the empty chamber when you pull the trigger
