What are you doing right now?

[jclo3313]

Sick again? You've got the bird flu or ebola or some shit.

[KCALB SIRAY]

lol, nah, I ate at the Silver Diner yesterday for lunch and I think it made me sick. 8 hours later I was throwing up and, well, you know the rest. One of my coworkers was feeling the same way and we had the same thing to eat

[Rain]

Checking when the tram would be in my stop.. hmm..

Good morning YW! :)

[33OH]

Morning Rain, Mike, John, Chuck, Demon, DFA, and Thomas! =)

[KCALB SIRAY]

[eTiMaGo]

[KCALB SIRAY]

I hope so, this is not good for my calorie intake lol

[Rain]

Eating Special K with Gatorade. lol. I kno, I'm weird.. I hate milk in my cereal

[jclo3313]

Morning Rain, Mike, John, Chuck, Demon, DFA, and Thomas! =)

[KCALB SIRAY]

^ wow, Rain, that's a new one for me even....sounds good =)

[jclo3313]

Except for the ebola.:biggrin:

[jclo3313]

Eating Special K with Gatorade. lol. I kno, I'm weird.. I hate milk in my cereal

I eat mine dry and wash it down with sweet tea. Hate milk.

[33OH]

What up brudda?

Just being cold and busy at work. I think I'm getting used to this actually working thing. So strange. :biggrin:

What's going on with you?

[KCALB SIRAY]

Except for the ebola.:biggrin:

It's all the rage now, kinda like the pet rock, haha

[eTiMaGo]

of course, since we're in the information age, it's know known to the cool kids as e-bola... :laugh:

[jclo3313]

Just being cold and busy at work. I think I'm getting used to this actually working thing. So strange. :biggrin:

What's going on with you?

Trying to maintain my YW habit and stupid job. So are you freezing your ass off or what?

[jclo3313]

of course, since we're in the information age, it's know known to the cool kids as e-bola... :laugh:

10,000 out of work comidians and the all post on YW.:biggrin:

[KCALB SIRAY]

we even had a bit of snow this morning, enough to cover the ground

[DFA]

Damn you americans and your snow!

[m911gt]

of course, since we're in the information age, it's know known to the cool kids as e-bola... :laugh:

that was the dorkiest joke i've heard this week! :laugh:

[m911gt]

ok, got my minifix, be back later

[eTiMaGo]

that was the dorkiest joke i've heard this week! :laugh:

yeah well e-coli started it... :laugh:

[33OH]

Trying to maintain my YW habit and stupid job. So are you freezing your ass off or what?

Pretty much. It's -3 here. I guess that's not as bad as some other places (cough cough, Wisconsin).

But my windows/windshield keep frosting on the inside as I'm driving to work. And no amount of heat will stop them from doing it. So, really hard to see.

What's the weather like down there?

[33OH]

Also, I'm trying to be a traitor and get a car that ISN'T going to kill me before winter is over. I'm sorry, but these cars are not good at all in the snow/ice.

https://post.craigslist.org/manage/993851676/6fhqf

[33OH]

And.. off to lunch I go.

[lita_g]

I'm just freezing in the office, trying to find something to stay busy with, since I am almost done with this week's project and also done updating my other requests. Every day this week has felt like a thursday to me, not sure why, but at least it's a long weekend so hopefully I'll get some sleep. Nothing new with my yaris, still can't afford to do any mods or upgrades to it.

[DFA]

Sorry to hear that... on the other hand, I hope you can find the car you're looking for before you get into any kind of accident.

Off to college I go, have to get my lunch out of the stove and drive off.

Just heard in the news that a guy was run over and killed by a bicycle :iono:

[jclo3313]

Busy day, I hate work on non Yarisworld related things.

[jclo3313]

High of 35 today. I love it but the Georgians are all freezing to death.

I doubt it will happen. Not many Yaris's around here and probably for a good reason. Everyone's got the 4x4 trucks/Jeeps. Still, I would like to get something AWD and reliable.

[33OH]

High of 35 today. I love it but the Georgians are all freezing to death.

Ah, cold but not too bad. It got into the 30's the other day here and it was like a miracle heat wave. Haha.

[ChinoCharles]

Just got back from the interview. Looks like I will be selling Toyotas and Scions as well as organizing Scion events for the dealership. Yeehaw!

[SIPNGAS]

Did your car start ok? Mine rolled over SO slow! It's way too cold out today

Mine was REALLY slow, too, but only had to turn the key once. I was impressed! :clap:

[33OH]

Just got back from the interview. Looks like I will be selling Toyotas and Scions as well as organizing Scion events for the dealership. Yeehaw!

Woohoo! Grats Charles!

Congratulations, Ex-Slacker!! :clap:

[SIPNGAS]

Busy day for me, too...almost as bad as yesterday. We'll see how my afternoon goes.

Just checking in during lunch. I'll be back after work.

Same here, but I'm slacking in between. You gotta be skilled. :wink:

[ChinoCharles]

Good to be back at a dealership. The first experience was terrible, but the people at this store are a lot nicer and seem more willing to train a noob.

Thanks guys. :smile:

[33OH]

So what's going on with our dinner celebration? I got paid today. $$$ :biggrin:

[ChinoCharles]

Tomorrow, right?

[33OH]

Should work, yeah. :smile:

Was just making sure.

You know where Ruby Tuesday is in Canton? Or Belden Village Mall?

[ChinoCharles]

I've got Magellan. :cool:

[33OH]

Alright cool. Well, we can meet at the mall if you want, the Sears parking lot is right by the road and never has anyone in it. It's RIGHT off the highway. Ruby Tuesday is kinda concealed, but really close to the mall.

[ChinoCharles]

Donuts? Did I hear donuts?

[33OH]

If you want. Canton's got some notorious popo's though. :tongue:

New Phila's a much better place for 'em. :biggrin:

[ChinoCharles]

Haha, fine fine. You and your good influence-ness.

[33OH]

Me and my never-have-gotten-a-ticket-ness. :biggrin:

Although I was pulled over for 170 in a 65 two years ago. :eek:

But no ticket. :headbang:

[ChinoCharles]

Ugh. I can't stand people like you. I get pulled over doing 42 in a 35, but the radar said I was doing 49. WTF :laugh:

[33OH]

Off to work some more. Boss was talking about me.

[33OH]

Ugh. I can't stand people like you. I get pulled over doing 42 in a 35, but the radar said I was doing 49. WTF :laugh:

Mine's kind of a long story. I'll tell you and Sam tomorrow about it. :cool:


Ahh, why can't I stay away from YW?!

[KCALB SIRAY]

time for me to take a nap, adios

[ChinoCharles]

Yeah, a nap sounds nice. I have to go meet my Dad for lunch/dinner, then I think its nappy time.

[33OH]

You lazy bums. :biggrin:

[33OH]

Charles, you need these --> http://akroncanton.craigslist.org/pts/990774298.html

=)

[SIPNGAS]

ok..here long enough to catch up on this flipping thread. LOL See you later!

[33OH]

Gahhh its snowing down here again. =(

[Demon]

Uh, it's almost half past ten PM, I'm going to bed, goodnight everybody !

[33OH]

Good night Demon, even though its 4:30pm here. =)

[coheed]

Chilin at my gf's house. I wont even threat of snow, though it will be 20°f here tomorow. :(

[33OH]

It will be -25 here tonight. Our high tomorrow is -12. Haha.

[coheed]

Dang man. :eyebulge: I dont think its ever been that cold here. EVER. I used to live in the mountains here and it got down to -5 one night. We got icicles on the ceiling that year. :bellyroll:

[33OH]

Haha. I've been having the INSIDE of my windows frost up, while the heat is on full blast.

I guess Matt and Lisa in Wisconsin have been doing some -40's. I can't even imagine.

[33OH]

Getting off work. Later ya'lls.

[jclo3313]

Been busy all day. 20 minutes to go.

[m911gt]

So I got to school today and kicked some ice/snow off of my car and I noticed that I lost a nut from my rear link brace!! Damnit! So...I decided to replace both of them and put a little extra loc-tite on...which I'm about to go out and do now! It's -27F with the windchill...if I don't come back you will know why.

[jclo3313]

Be careful. Later guys.

[Black Yaris]

Yeah for -30 windchill!

[SIPNGAS]

Haha. I've been having the INSIDE of my windows frost up, while the heat is on full blast.

I guess Matt and Lisa in Wisconsin have been doing some -40's. I can't even imagine.

Yes, tonight is supposed to be worse than last and no school today or tomorrow.

It's FLIPPING COLD even for those of us here all the time. It's horrible. :help:

[SIPNGAS]

[33OH]

Hello :)

Waiting on Sami to get here.

[SIPNGAS]

Hi, Ryan =)

[m911gt]

I'm back...no success. damn. guess i'll have to do it tomorrow.

[SIPNGAS]

Dork...it's going to be colder.

[m911gt]

Dork...it's going to be colder.

yeah, but i'll be able to actually see and i can find a dry place in the school lot to jack it up rather than laying in the snow/ice

[SIPNGAS]

Still a dork...closing in on insane...laying on the pavement?? oy

[Rain]

I have been busy since I got here in school this 8:00am...


I love my life.

[YarisPR]

waiting to watch Grey's Anatomy :rolleyes:

[SIPNGAS]

The President is on. Will you get to see it?

[m911gt]

Still a dork...closing in on insane...laying on the pavement?? oy

nope, won't have to since i'll jack the car up!

[SIPNGAS]

oy....you're driven...

crazy...but driven. =) No frostbite tomorrow, please!

[m911gt]

no prob Lisa, I'll be a-ok! When I see something that has to be done, I do it otherwise it bothers the heck outta me.

Did you survive the frozen tundra that is work today?

[SIPNGAS]

we had heat until they turned it off at noon. By 2 it was worse than ever.

It's never going to change!! =)

How was school? Are you just in one class right now?

[m911gt]

Wtf is wrong with your work??

School's good, I have my final exam in the morning. Yep, one class for now, but I have 7 fresh ones starting on Tuesday :)

[SIPNGAS]

SEVEN! Wow....you are going to be one busy guy!


My employer just doesn't care about anybody, really. It's very clear to all of us.

[gid]

killing time in here and abroad on broadband :biggrin: . It's -5 degrees out , and it's only 9:17 P.M. . At this rate could hit 14 below by 6 A.M.. :eek: . Thankfully both YARIS are in the garage . Usually about 10 degrees warmer in there than outside , poor things :frown: . :wink:

[dvlnblkdrs]

home from work.. blah! the day started off quick, then began to drag after lunch...


good news is my friend who is a claims rep is doing a round at my office this month as part of the catastrophe team(dealing with ike & fire claims) and he asked me on a lunch date tomorrow.. oooo im super excited.. and hopefully i will be able to get out of work early tomorrow to get down to SD early so we casn stop at the hotel before the comedy show & freshen up.. wheeeeeeeee tomorrow is gonna be a good day.. gotta make sure to wear my extra cleavage showing shirt.. yea. thats right.. his psychotic girlfriend doesnt stand a chance against me.. ooo and i get to oogle his M3.. mmm :drool:

[SIPNGAS]

Mine started pretty good this morning and the windchill was -30. It was weird when I first took off, everything SOUNDED cold, like one good bump and the plastic parts could have shattered.

[gid]

have you noticed more rattles in the car from the chill ? These plastics don't like it .

[dvlnblkdrs]

perhaps someone took liquid nitrogen to the car? :iono:

[coheed]

Sounds like your gonna have fun tomorow. :bellyroll: GL

[gid]

we use synthetic motor oil and gear oil for these conditions .

[dvlnblkdrs]

thanks coheed.. between the lunch date, the sexy car and the comedy show(jeff dunham!!!)/week off work i am quite esctatic right now..

[SIPNGAS]

have you noticed more rattles in the car from the chill ? These plastics don't like it .

yes, a lot more noises...


Jill, it was -14 with a windchill of -30.....EVERYTHING is frozen. The seats were rock hard, the shifting was rough. In these temps it's expected.

[coheed]

Be glad you got a job. I dont and its gettin kinda hard to pay for insurance and gas at 18 mpg. :frown:

[dvlnblkdrs]

lisa.. i was pulling ur chain! i know its colder than a well digger's asshole there right now.. i just had to poke a warm finger at ya.. its 59 degrees and im under the covers.. lol


coheed.. i am damn sorry bout the job situation, i know it sucks.. i got 2 friends who are jobless right now and its really difficult.. specially out here where everything is so high priced...just keep ur eye out, it will find you when u least expect it. my job im at found me.. well it found my mom and she made me go to the job fair.. lol before this i was working 2 jobs, 60+ hrs a week-7 days, no holidays.. and making less money than i am now, with a lot more stress.. believe me when i say that i love my job. :biggrin: they actually have to yell at me to take my vacation time!!!

[gid]

yes, a lot more noises...


Jill, it was -14 with a windchill of -30.....EVERYTHING is frozen. The seats were rock hard, the shifting was rough. In these temps it's expected. you have the automatic or 5 speed manual ?

[coheed]

The thing thats really the problem is that Im not 18 yet. Im already enrolled in college and they'd help me get a job, but all they can help me with is auto-related jobs. And since minors cant work with equipment I cant work in a damn auto-shop. :bs: When I turn 18 though, I've pretty much been promised a job at a grading company making $13.50/hr to start out.

[SIPNGAS]

you have the automatic or 5 speed manual ?

manual:thumbup:

[Rain]

Looking at my housing options for next semester.... hmm.. they're not getting any cheaper =/

[dvlnblkdrs]

thats a damn good start pay for out there.. thats what i started at here at my current job.. still cant afford to move out yet.. perhaps with my new pay increase...we'll see.. i still gotta work out my new budget once i get the final numbers on everything...

[Black Yaris]

I just got back haning out with my buddy... he came back from China for a couple weeks...

[coheed]

Im so glad I dont have to worry about housing. Im only 22 miles away from my college at home. :biggrin: So I get to drive every morning. But I gotta get up at 4 a.m. :eyebulge:

[gid]

manual:thumbup: take it that it's the original gear oil . If so , changing it out to a synthetic ( REDLINE MT-90 , AMSOIL MTG , etc, ) makes for amazing difference in shifting for those conditions . Hang in there . :wink:

[SIPNGAS]

take it that it's the original gear oil . If so , changing it out to a synthetic ( REDLINE MT-90 , AMSOIL MTG , etc, ) makes for amazing difference in shifting for those conditions . Hang in there . :wink:

I just changed my oil! (DO use synthetic there...) but didn't know about the gear oil....

I'll have to do that ASAP. Thanks! :thumbup:

[gid]

welcome :biggrin: .

[dvlnblkdrs]

Im so glad I dont have to worry about housing. Im only 22 miles away from my college at home. :biggrin: So I get to drive every morning. But I gotta get up at 4 a.m. :eyebulge:

4am? meh, i dont wake up before 7.. and thats way early for me.. usually its 8am.. i am so not a morning person.. but i was fully functional today at 8am with 2 hrs sleep.. not bad at all :thumbsup:

[coheed]

Im not a morning person, but I have to be in class at 6:00 so I have to get up early to get ready in tme for the 30-40 min drive.

[dvlnblkdrs]

when i had to be at my business law class at 9am.. i fell asleep in class every single day.. i took the class 3 times and still have yet to pass it.. theres a reason i dropped out of college.. it just wasnt for me... i was terrible enough in school when it was free.. now that i gotta pay for it.. im even worse!


when i was in beauty school, girls would take bets on what time id fall asleep.... but i still aced all the tests even though i slept through most of lecture.. lol

[coheed]

Im glad to be going to college. We get to build 800 hp and up engines in class. Naturally aspirated and with restrictor plates. I love going to the only school in the world that is the official school of NASCAR. Plus I only go from 6 to noon so I get most of the day to myself.

[gid]

just took dog out and is -7 degrees . After that went in garage and is 13 degrees , about a 20 degree difference . Last night set the tires on the '08 sedan to 34 and 1/4 and are now at 32 p.s.i. . I think if the temps jumped above 35 degrees the tires would read 36 p.s.i. or a bit higher when checked cold . Astounding how the air in the tires condense .

[YAR1S]

Found out today that some company has been drawing out $12 monthly from my debit account for the last 9 months... $108 bucks down the drain..... They (Reservation Rewards) have been reported by many people for scamming them... they run the scam by creating popups that mimic the website you are at saying that they will do a $10 off coupon if you submit your email for updates from the original website.... then they take the deatils you just entered to purchase something and use that in a binding subscription to "food, dining, and flight discounts".

websites associated with the scam company:
fandango
etix
pizzahut
EB games
Gamestop
orbits
moviephone
movietickets(.com)




personally I got scammed while buying show tickets online from etixs and they have a ticked box that got me into the deal.....


be careful guys.... they'll getcha.

[coheed]

That totally sux. Glad I get to see movies for free. :cool: My dad works at a movie theatre I used to work at, so I get movies free.:headbang:

[YAR1S]

So... I definately PM'd you...... about that topic in the NC yarii thread... .....

[coheed]

Yeah I posted up in there. :thumbsup: Sorry didnt PM back. :redface:

[YAR1S]

yeah I easily freak out.... haha.
I was about to say... how do you know my brother if you live in eastern nc.... wth? LOL

[coheed]

Well Chamis lived over here then moved to Gboro. Sorry I freaked you out. :frown:

[YAR1S]

tis fine.
Thats an odd name... never heard of him before......its a pretty large city though.... dont know more than 1% percent of everyone.

[coheed]

Ture, kinda hard to know most of the names in a city of 250,000 people. I on the other hand know most of the people in my town of about 3,000 people.

[YAR1S]

oh wow.... small town. so what you gonna do with your education? work on nascars? or just general mechanic? or engine creator...

[KCALB SIRAY]

Looking for a Datsun 240Z to work on as a project car

[coheed]

I really want to get into drag racing. But I inherited my grandfathers sense of money, so I'll probably own my own shop, and do the drag racing as a hobby. :iono:

[YAR1S]

that sound fulfilling...and fun. So.... you dont have a yaris yet???


WOTTTTT?!:eyebulge:

You are gonna enjoy your lb so mucchhhh UGH! I enjoy every minute of driving my yaris... I sometimes drive around just for an excuse to go ride in it :wub:

[coheed]

No I dont have one. But I love my dads. He has a sedan, Im gettin an LB. I do love my truck, but 45 miles a day in an 88 that gets 18 mpg would absolutly kill me. Not to mention the truck.

Yuck. That's no good for Georgia. At least in Ohio it's almost always cold, so we're halfway used to it. Just not this cold usually.

TGIF. :drinking:

[33OH]

Anyone else in cold weather having problems with the clutch pedal sticking? I keep having to wait a few seconds before I give to gas to go because it is staying on the floor and just free revs. The pedal seems really stiff when I'm pushing it to the floor.

I was just going to post about this! I didn't notice it yesterday but today was HORRIBLE. I almost thought something was wrong with it. Maybe gid was right, we need to switch to synthetic gear oil and it would take care of that?

Mornin' all.

Ryan, I've been a little sick the past few days but today I feel a little more sick. :cry: I don't wanna get you sick too. Lets just do this sometime next week, when it isn't -10 degrees LOLWTF.

Ah gay Charles. Haha alright. :frown:

[33OH]

I was just going to post about this! I didn't notice it yesterday but today was HORRIBLE. I almost thought something was wrong with it. Maybe gid was right, we need to switch to synthetic gear oil and it would take care of that?

Not sure, but I'm garageless for the winter. So I guess I'll have to deal with it.

I've emailed two dealers with WRX's so far, hoping for the best. I honestly HATE this car now just because of how it drives in the snow.

[SIPNGAS]

I don't mind driving in the snow with it. I actually think it handles really well for such a small, light car.

But that clutch thing was strange. But I guess we have to expect things like that with windchills better than -40....

[jclo3313]

I was wondering what it was like to have to drive one in the snow. My tires are not even rated for weather below 32f degrees.

[ChinoCharles]

Ryan, you're trying to ditch the Yaris?! :cry:

LOL

[33OH]

Ryan, you're trying to ditch the Yaris?! :cry:

Driving over an hour on ice and snow every day, I don't feel very confident in this car. I've been sideways on the highway this week more than I can count on one hand. And that's not cool.

[SIPNGAS]

NEVER have I been sideways, and I've barely fishtailed...the only issue I ever have is getting a grip from a stop...which might be helped if I actually had snow tires.

Of course, I've been driving almost as long as Ryan has been ALIVE.

oy...that makes me sound terribly old...LOL

[coheed]

Thats why I love my truck. Never ever been sidways. Been up on 2 wheels but not sideways. :laugh:
Your not old, your wise.:thumbsup: Unless your as old a my great-grandmother, 105, your not old.

[jclo3313]

Buy a Jeep for foul weather. I have one and I think every person on earth should have one.:biggrin:

[SIPNGAS]

ooo...coheed..LOVE the avatar! I want that as a sticker on my car!!

And no, I'm not 105....and I don't feel old...most of the time. lol

[coheed]

Im gonna go take a nap, BBL.

[ChinoCharles]

Alright... bowl of cheerios, shower, and studying while YW distracts me. GO!

[33OH]

Well, you have to remember, I drive through the Appalachian Mountains to get to/from work. Twisty, steep hills. With snow drifts.

I've never actually wrecked before, I think I'm a pretty good driver.

[jclo3313]

You would love US 129 and the draggons tail.

[33OH]

You would love US 129 and the draggons tail.

Yeah I would, with no ice and snow on them. :biggrin:

I might actually sell the bike and the Yaris if I get a new car. I think a WRX would be an all-purpose toy. :thumbup:

[jclo3313]

If you sell the Yaris we'll have to banish you.:biggrin:

[33OH]

Ah come on. There's non-Yaris owners on here. =)

[SIPNGAS]

We can't get rid of Ryan...

[33OH]

It might not happen anyway. I've been in contact with a few dealers about it, but there aren't any local WRX's that I've found. All are a few hours drive, and I'd have to de-mod the car for them to look at it.

[KCALB SIRAY]

just got to work, hello everyone

[33OH]

Hiya Mike.

[Rain]

Just woke up.. Morning YW!

[33OH]

Mornin' Rain.

[SIPNGAS]

Good morning, Mikey and Rain....

How does it work if you're trading in a car you still owe (a lot) on?

[SIPNGAS]

oo..I just went over 2000 posts since the hack..

I didn't have nearly that in the year + I was on here prior to it.:bellyroll:

[33OH]

^ Yeah, same here. I had 300 posts from January 08 til October 08.

[ChinoCharles]

How does it work if you're trading in a car you still owe (a lot) on?

As long as you owe less than its worth you're good. If not, you'll roll that debt into the payments on your next car, and you generally don't want to do that.

[33OH]

Well, I'm sure I owe more on it than it's worth. I owe a little over $12,000 still because of that deer.

[ChinoCharles]

Yeah, looks like you're keeping the Yaris after all. :smile:

[SIPNGAS]

Hi Charles... :o)

[33OH]

I don't really mind rolling the payments over. I can just sell the bike if need be.

[ChinoCharles]

Hey Lisa. How are you today? Did you see the new contest? You have to get in on it.

They are unvailing the 1100 at a dealership by my house this weekend. I'm going to swing by and drool a bit.

[ChinoCharles]

I say it with the utmost respect. :bow:

I wish they weren't a fortune, and I wish I didn't live under the guise that my Yaris was a showcar. I've always wanted a Ducati. That is the Italian in me talking.

[KCALB SIRAY]

It's a pretty cool bike. This is the one I got him.

when I was looking to by the 748 10 years ago, it was around 13,000, not sure what they are now. The Monsters were always at around $10,000.

[KCALB SIRAY]

I even got him the matching helmet and knee pads, lol. He's going to freak, grin from ear to ear when he finds it

[ChinoCharles]

Base MSRP on the '08 695 is 8 and change. That really isn't TOO bad.

[gid]

which is shared with the brake fluid ( same resorvoir ) . I believe it's DOT 3 . Changing to a synthetic brake fluid ( DOT 4 , Valvoline syn. B.F. , etc. ) could help that situation much like synthetic gear oil for better cold shifting . TAKE CARE :thumbsup: .

I called Jiffy Lube, the one I go to for my oil changes and they don't stock the synthetic gear oil the Yaris needs. (at least that's what the guy said..) So, later, I'm going to call the dealership and ask about switching to the synthetic brake and gear oils...Toyota won't void my warranty by switching? Not sure why they would, but just thought I would ask!

[gid]

used synthetic brake fluid for clutch of the 2000 CHEVY Prizm ( Corolla ) and made a difference in pedal action . That had a resorvoir for clutch and brakes . Used an animal feeding syringe with clear plastic hose slipped over one end to suck ( draw ) out the old brake fluid and gradually replaced it with the synthetic until the bottle of synthetic brake fluid was gone . Also did the same for brake fluid . That made for better braking . Was doing a motor route at that time , many stops .

[KCALB SIRAY]

time for second lunch, be back later tonight.

[SIPNGAS]

See you later, Mikey.

go to or call NAPA and other auto parts stores for AMSOIL MTG , REDLINE MT-90 , etc.. You'll need 2 quarts of gear oil , I'm sure dealer would install it for less than $50 . Remember to use a GL-4 gear oil . GOOD LUCK

[gid]

KCALB , you could get your son and yourself a terrible towel for his birthday and use them during the game . Or pick up some yellow oil rags at auto parts store / dollar store and hand them out to son and all that come to his party . That way use as napkins , then rewash to use during the football game . Happy Birthday to the little tyke :clap: . Signed : SHAGGY the oil dude :wink: .

Thanks for the info. I'll probably just leave it alone and pry the clutch pedal up with my foot some more. :biggrin:

I only noticed it today, and it was about -27 degrees, so hopefully that won't linger around much longer.
