  1. Clutch is separate from the transmission. First letter only deals with the transmission control module. Second letter seems to say that if the seals leak, and oil gets on the clutch, they will replace these parts. In the diagram above - clutch is on the left, transmission on the right. Bottom LH points to the clutch assembly - works the same as a manual transmission clutch - interrupts the power between engine and transmission to facilitate gear changes.

  2. Heard this discussion for over 15 years. Big bikes OK - how do the Police tell you have a large displacement bike ? If they allowed bikes on Hwy7, all bridges, expressways, imagine that scenario ! Sidecars with belching charcoal smoke, noodle steam, all the Honda Waves with 4 people on them, kids with souped up Novas screaming by at 10,000 RPM. Madness. Only way it would work is to teach children how to ride/drive at an early age, graduated license system, enforce traffic laws. Will this ever happen ? Not in my lifetime - or my childrens if they have not begun before. So - give it a rest. Done to Death.

  3. I never use an agent - or at least as seldom as I can get away from it. Even Agoda - get the name of the hotel, Google it, book on the hotel website. Same as car rental. Book thru the company website, not anyone else. You even get a break at times that the agents do not get - or keep to themselves. Never had this problem.

  4. The Jews are not the problem in Israel, the Zionists are and they are not all Jews.

    Hilarious.

    The old we don't hate Jews, we hate Zionists card.

    That's a crock.

    Every Israel topic here, the Jew hatred is revealed in a CRYSTAL CLEAR way.

    You really need to take a look at your attitude toward anyone who voices displeasure with the Israeli governments actions. Along with many other posters on this Forum. I have read some well reasoned, thoughtful, and respectful posts wherein the Government of Israel has been taken to task. These are valid concerns. By pulling the "Hate the Jews" card every time you hear it shows a distinct lack of understanding of the problems, and moreover, how many other people view these actions. To Tar every attack with the hatred card is neither true, fair, or necessary. I do not hate anybody. Why - When you Hate, you Become that which you Hate.

  5. Any decent body shop will have the chemicals available to make the paint stick. And you must mix a plasticizer into the paint to make it flexible without cracking. Been doing this since the 70's when the first plastic bumpers (which are not really bumpers, the steel underneath fulfills this purpose) came out so not anything new.

  6. Don't listen to all the Bozos, Trash Talkers, Uptight Drones who post on TV. Live your life as you choose. Want True Love - go look for it. Bar Girl, Shop Girl - Nurse ... whatever. Go for it. Taking advice from most people on a public internet forum is like talking to a Ghost. Sure you can hear them - but are they Real ? Is what they say Real ? Or just so much Baloney to muddy the waters, Stir the Pot. Lots of people delight in providing useless information in the hope that someone will take it and act on it. Your Life on Your Terms. No other Way. You Ain't gonna Live Forever.

  7. don't know what you originally posted but you are completely right.

    tyre rotation is a myth that should have been killed off many years ago. it might save you a few bucks but could cost you your life.

    you always have the best tyres on the back, no matter if you have front wheel drive or rear wheel drive or both, particularly when driving a ute / pick up that is low on weight on the rear axle.

    if you drive unloaded, like 90% of all ute drivers do world wide, reduce the tyre pressure on the real 15% BELOW recommended. it will give you a larger footprint and better grip in extreme situations.

    a lot of good tyres these days are directional, so you can not cross them over, anyway.

    my advice: check your tyre pressure every 14 days and when you only buy 2 new ones, put them on the rear.

    Can't agree with this. In a FWD the front tires both steer and accelerate and do 70% of the braking. Rears just along for the ride. And in a RWD the front tires steer, and do the same % of braking. So best tires - FWD RWD AWD - should be on the front.

  8. On the contrary, I think every 'rational' adult knows it's stupid not to wear a helmet. Some just prefer to ignore that fact and ride without one anyway. As I said before, I'm NOT in favor of helmet laws, and I believe each person should have the right to decide for themselves. I'm a huge fan of Darwinsm.

    From stupid to irrational. Huge leap. If they have the 'right' - as you said above - bad form to criticise their choice.
