Your car will rely on many things especially fluids to keep all the mechanical parts well lubricated and working without using much heat on high-friction functions. Transmission fluid is one of the most important fluids in the car.
Significance
The transmission system uses clutch, actuating shafts and all the gear connections. Each engine gear will have a limit, which is defined by the red line that is always defined by the revolutions per minute. When the gear of your vehicle reaches the limit, it has to stop spinning and let another gear power the vehicle. Your transmission system will be responsible for moving the power one gear to another without letting the engine stop, and transmission helps in making that happen.
Function
Transmission fluids for both automatic and manual transmission systems act as the lubricant for the transmission system parts. They can either be synthetic blends or mineral blends, which encompasses various maintenance additives for helping the other systems in the engine. Manual transmission fluids will have a very distinctive smell due to the added molybedum disulfide compound. It is very important for the manual transmission fluid because they have greater friction rate when the gears start to slide.
Effects
As the gears of your car shift every time, wear and tear can break down the mechanical parts. Driving in debris-filled terrains can add extra friction on the engine systems of your car. If there is proper transmission fluid, then this debris can be removed and passed in the transmission filter.
Considerations
Always remember that you must consult the operator’s manual to decide the proper transmission fluid for your vehicle and the changing frequency for the same. The mileage an...

• Now you can replace the transmission fluid. You will have to do this with the help of dipstick tube, and with a longneck funnel. Pour a less amount of transmission fluid than you collected in the milk jugs. After you have poured the new transmission fluid in the pan, start the engine and allow it run for at least a minute. Make sure that the service and parking brakes are applied; you will have to move the gear selector through each gear till park.
• Now check the fluid level again and add little fluid to get it till the eight-inch below the ‘add mark’. Start the engine and allow it to run until it reaches the full operating temperature, then check the fluid level once again, it will be in the hot region.
• Now you are done with replacing transmission fluid. Knowing how to replace the transmission fluid will save you valuable time in future.
...rs and glow plugs from the valve cover gasket. Once that is done unplug the gasket from the wiring harness and remove it from the head. There is three bolts on each injector one which is holding the oil splash shield to the injector and two holding the injector to the head. To remove the injector you only have to remove the bottom bolt from the injector. then you get a pry bar and gently pry on the injector until it pops out. Install a new injector you put it in the injector cup and lightly smack it with a rubber mallet until it seats in the head.
Note: The parts listed are for a T5 or T5Z transmission. Swapping to an aftermarket tranny (example: TKO, 3550, T56, etc.) will require a slightly different list of parts. These questions may be answered in the new Q&A list that is under developement.
o The secondary clutch is mounted on the end of the jackshaft (which connects to the drive shaft via a chain and gears).
Removing a transmission is a long process, which requires special tools and equipment. Do not attempt it without proper equipment. Transmissions are very heavy and require the use of a trans jack. Also the engine will need support without the sub frame in place.
Friction: The second most important fact you'll face. Because the dragster has parts moving against one another, friction is created. You can help reduce it by making sure the axles are free to rotate, and that the wheels and tires are not rubbing on the car body.
Undoubtedly, figuring out the timing of letting out the clutch and giving the car more gas can be the trickiest part of driving a stick shift. The clutch is found to the far right of the brake. When changing gears, the clutch must always be pushed to the floor with the left foot or immediately the car's gears will grind. The clutch must be slowly let out as more gas is given to the car. The timing of this process must be perfect to ensure a that the car will begin to slowly move forward. As for stopping, such as at a red light or a stop sign, begin by moving the gear shift to the neutral position.

...uel used in the Cadillac never produces a drag, which can possibly waste fuel. This results in reduction of the cost needed for Cadillac maintenance. The hydrodynamic retarders are also appropriate for the Cadillac given that the latter is the preference of many people.
One of the most commonly used ways to give a vehicle more horsepower these days is forced induction. There are normally 3 different methods of forced induction, nitrous, turbochargers and superchargers. Although this essay will only consist of superchargers and turbochargers. The problem people face when choosing which equipment to install on their car is what is better, turbocharging or supercharging? Both turbochargers and superchargers have pros and cons, and both of them share quite a few similarities. Choosing a forced induction system can be something that makes or breaks your street car, or weekend warrior. Pending what the budget is, what the power levels desired are, and even the type of car it is going into. Many variables come into play with front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive vehicles. It is entirely up to the driver or builder in order to determine the best route to take, or possibly the worst route to end at. Covering the pros and cons is a good way to help make an educated decision on what

There are several things you can do to take good care of your transmission, which will help it last longer before needing repair or replacement. Start by checking the fluid levels for the transmission. Check it just as frequently as you would check the oil in your car, since a leak or low fluid levels will cause wear and tear on the part.
...transmission has as many as six forward gears, which contribute to longer engine life and reduced gas consumption” (Motoring). Upgrades are often used to improve an automobile or engine. An upgrade can be defined as: the betterment of something, in this case an I.C.E… An upgrade can be as simple as replacing a part with a newer better model of that same part. Headers, for example, an upgrade may be to replace the existing headers with bigger ones or headers that are made of a different material the will not clog as easily; basically they make the engine run better and last longer.
