Ok, I'm reeeeally hoping I can get some good feedback on a problem I'm
having w/ my 92 4runner.  The problem is that it shifts extremely hard
between gears, as if there was nothing to smooth the transition between
gears.  It's an automatic.  It's not that it shifts at a high RPM,

I have been told you can get paint to cover the rock chips and scratches on
your Toyotas from the dealers parts departments.  When I called the
dealership, they said there was no such animal.
Has anyone else purchased paint like this?

battery in the fob - still no joy. Any suggestions???
Thanks

An ugly woman walks into a shop with her two kids.
The shopkeeper asks, "Are they twins?"
The woman says, "No, he's 9 and she's 7. Why? Do you think they look

I have an 01 Prism with about 45,000 miles in it.  The other day it was
up on the lift to have my front snow tires replaced with my original all

crap (old furnishings) and dented and scratched my rear wing like you've
never seen. And they havent owned up. I hate people who ...

Can a weak battery periodically cause the check engine light to illuminate?
If I connect a battery charger to my battery, it will stay off for a few
weeks.  Is there no voltage indicator light in a 2000 carolla?  Can I be

Back from the mechanics. He tested the car and told me that the "Clutch
is gone". I fully trust him on the diagnostic. However, what are the
signs that the clutch is gone? Very often, I pressed the gas pedal to
accelerate, and the accelaration takes place only after a few seconds.

Can anyone tell me if it is normal for the inner section of the
half-shaft to move about quite a bit where shaft goes into the trans?
I am assuming that what the shaft goes into, in the trans. is movable.

Back in the days when I was 8 years of age in 1986, I saw this Nissan
