I recommend taking the vehicle to a mechanic to check the oil system. You should not have to put oil into your car that frequently -- it probably has a leak in the system, and fixing that should help you out. While they are checking for leaks, you should also have them take a look at your oil pump -- if your pressure is always low, you probably have a weak pump that needs replacement (or the pump itself might be where you are losing the oil -- which would mean a new pump would keep you from losing oil as well as help stop the ticking and the pressure problem. You can probably go to a junk yard and get a used oil pump pretty cheap -- if you are confident in your skills, you should be able to replace it (probably for less money than having a mechanic look at it) so this might be a good first step. If that does not solve the issue, take it in for a check-up. If your oil system fails while you are on the road, you can ruin your engine and end up costing yourself a lot of money in the long run.

I got the transmission separated 2 in a half inches from engine block and still does not drop freely wat can be holding me up

When you remove the cover to your fuse box, look on the inside of the cover, the list of which fuse goes to what on your car should be there.

Definitely, there's a problem with your transmission. You are right, it is overheating. It is
caused by worn out part inside your transmission.
Have it checked by a qualified mechanic.

hi.
a transmission problem when hot, but ok when cold, would suggest that the oil in the gearbox is getting too thin when it heats up.

you say that the transmission has been pulled out but do you know if the oil was actually changed in it.
if the oil has not been changed, drain it and replace with the specified oil.
if it was changed recently, then i would consider using a thicker grade transmission oil instead.

changing gearbox oil, is normally a matter of removing the drain plug on the bottom to drain the old oil, and then refilling using the level plug on the side of the engine.

your wiper motor doesnt have a problem, check the electrical connection and wiring and try to remove the ground. check the fuse, maybe one of the fuse is already busted

THE SUNROOF IT DOES NOT WORK

replace bulb

well it sounds like the rod came off on the inside if you can get it open then you can look also grese the latch and latch bar with white lithem greas

you can test it by connecting the two wires for the switch(ie bypass the switch)if the lights come on,then the switch IS fauly.

1. Auto inspections of the vehicle may produce results contributing towards restoration. For example, the auto technician makes the evaluation as separate arrangement from which problematic areas are ascertainable. The result findings are documented as diagnostic draft plans from which repair authorizations are achievable. At which point, diagnostic without repair requirements would least requires any further procedures. However, once the vehicles diagnostics produce result requiring expert vehicle repairs, the next sequence of procedures are initiated. First, vehicle repairs require constituent components either permanent parts or depleteable resources constituents prior to workshop initiation plans. Auto technician diagnostic plans would usually contain the damage of the vehicle. A decision to commence restoration of the faults would produce estimate drafts in parts repaired for either replacement acquirable, leasable or alternately. The next sequence includes calculations estimates in resources that would be required contributing towards entire workshop restoration process procedures.

Need to take a code check to see the parameters of the engine. It can be a possible fuel, fuel pump or faulty injectors that is primary to the fault. Secondly the firing intensity , the firing/fuel timing can be off set.
Make sure that the engine performance is set accordingly so that it turns over with good power.

also could be a bad cell in battery, can have battery checked by a parts store for free, if you have a voltmeter you can test power output at startup with someone turning the engine over while you hold pos+ and neg- side of meter on the appropriate side of battery if voltage is below 9.6 volts w/o a load, while starting, battery needs replacing.

Hi, you may have a poor ground or you're just drawing too much current through factory wires.You may want to consider running a totally independent wire directly from your battery. 10-12 gauge wiring would be good. But as a temporary fix, you can try replacing the 10amp fuse with a 15 amp fuse. That will allow more current to be drawn through the factory wiring.

break the grill to acess the latch

Make sure you are routing the belt correct.

You have a switch for the light at the base of the handle, it may be bad.

jack up the car, first break lugs, and remove tire. There are two bolts on the front back side, if it like are endeavor then I compressed the caliper piston and then I had to take apart the caliper as the old pads did not come out, those are the two bolts on each end. then put back on. Once the caliper is off the rotor will come off as it is held on by the caliper. Just be careful with the caliper once it is removed as it is a brake line, you can use a hanger for it does not pull on the line when it is off the rotor. Good Luck Tim

pretty common on sun roofs over 10 years old( on any vehicle ), the rubber weather-striping needs replaced,if you look at it closely you will see where its cracking,broke and/or getting hard ( not soft and pliable anymore.) which allows water to get in, you can get new weather-striping at your local dealership parts department( they might have to special-order it).

Check fuses, front and back wiper motors run on different fuses. Test for power and ground at front wiper motor wires. If you have power and ground there your wiper motor may be toast. Good luck
