    Transmission details

    Last semester, in my design course, we had to model a reducer on paper/in spreadsheets and I was wondering if anyone knew what kinds of gears are in the transmission and their details (size, type, pitch, teeth, etc.). It's kind of a for-funsies thing I'd like to do.

    Valves ticking?

    I totally forgot to post this when it happened, but a little bit ago I had my spark plugs changed and I noticed that there was some ticking which was reported to be the valves opening and closing. Is there a valve cleaner I should try, or is it more involved where the head would need to come off?

    Bluetooth OBD readers?

    Does anyone use one? I'm looking to get one but there are literally tens of different readers out there. I'd like to collect data over time by using torque.

    Clutch Pedal is rough and clunky

    Also, do you notice that your clutch actually gets a little tougher to press as you drive?

    Interesting. What could possibly be happening inside the housing?

    Clutch Pedal is rough and clunky

    I can't tell if it's coming from the larger plunger, or from the little white one? Also when mine does it, it happens before the entire clutch is depressed fully in. Is that the same? I'm having a hard time hearing the audio in the video.

    Clutch Pedal is rough and clunky

    I think it needs to be braced somehow, but I'm not sure if the entire assembly isn't aligned, or if the pedal is loose enough to tilt around while everything else is firm. If you have time, can you take pictures, investigate the area?

    Ever since somebody said it looks like a large-mouth Bass, I can't stop thinking that when I see it. :(

    2 stick shift knob hardware?

    I'm thinking of collaborating with a coworker who can turn stuff on a lathe to make an acrylic shift knob, and then have it engraved with the pattern on it.

    2 stick shift knob hardware?

    How is the shift knob assembled? Is there an insert?

    Clutch Pedal is rough and clunky

    I have a similar problem, but not as bad. I've found that fairly consistently, it depends on the angle that you depress the clutch in, which means something comes loose or it's not firmly angled. You can change the direction of your foot, or use the side of your foot to adjust the clutch over...

    Rear headrests are tough to move/borderline stuck

    I was able to push in the button and release them, but it was a ******* monster effort to get them up! I think they need regreasing, but I'm tempted to take them out, steel wool them a little, and regrease them. Anyone have this issue? Any recommendations?

    Cutting vents in hood?

    It's too bad we can't see a wind tunnel test to know if there would be an explicit benefit.
