A WARNING TO ALL JEEP RENEGADE OWNERS EQUIPPED WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION!!!

If you're experiencing random grinding going into gear, seemingly without any sort of pattern or identifiable cause, it's your shift linkage that sits on top of your transmission. The bushings get worn out as they age, start to crack, and then eventually totally separate from the bolt that holds it together. When that happens, your jeep will get stuck in whatever gear you were in when you shifted and it broke. If that happens, DO NOT FORCE THE GEAR LEVER. You will only bend more stuff and cause more issues.

Now it's a relatively easy fix. Remove the battery and battery tray and you have easy access to the top of the transmission. The issue is.. nobody makes replacement parts. Not Mopar, not aftermarket, nobody. When mine finally went, it took a whole week of searching for a replacement shifter arm and my mechanic ended up finding one being sold by some random guy across the United States. And it wasn't cheap.

As these cars start to age past the ten year old mark, rubber starts to become brittle and dry. Timing belts, bushings, and gaskets will start to crack and fail. Replacement parts for the manual transmission are becoming incredibly hard to find, especially the dual mass flywheel and shift arms. Fiat 124 owners are experiencing the same issues now too, though I'm not sure if they share the same transmission but I would bet they do.

BRAND NEW Aqqa aq150 canister filter makes noise but doesn't do anything.

I've filled the canister up to the point it's overflowing. I've primed it over and over and over. I've rotated the canister around. I tightened the intake hose connections. I've plugged it in repeatedly. I've ensured the flow is set to maximum. I've watched the setup tutorial from the manufacturer and followed the steps exactly. It just WONT SUCK UP ANY WATER. Nothing I do fixed it, all it does is make a lot of bubbly noise. Is it just broken from the factory?

I don't understand, am I doing something wrong? This is the exact same thing that happened to my zoomed filter which is why I threw it away. I'm losing my shit because my turtle has been without clean water for a whole week now and I have no way to change the water.

Yellow-bellied slider needs a new home due to facing bankruptcy and eviction. Free.

I can no longer care for him. I've been unable to upgrade his aquarium stand for several months after getting a bigger tank and the stand it's currently on isn't strong enough to hold 40 gallons of water. At most he gets about 20 gallons of water which is not enough for his size. His shitty zoomed canister filter just broke today so now I have no way of cleaning his water. I'm not even supposed to have him in my apartment complex at all. I originally saved him from a construction site when I rented a house and my life has totally changed in the last year, mostly for the worst. I can barely take care of myself , both my cars are broken down, and I'm struggling to buy groceries. The turtle has to go.

Free to anyone in the ANN ARBOR / FLINT Michigan area.

Dealership will only warranty if I go to them. It's two hours away.

I had my drive axle replaced and not even three weeks later the axle seal has blown out. The dealership is refusing to pay to cover cost of repairs unless I drive the car two hours from Brighton to Saginaw MI. Obviously it's not going to make that drive with it gushing fluid this badly and a tow is going to be hundreds of dollars. What are my options as far as taking it elsewhere and forcing them to either pay the bill or making them pay for the tow? Will I need a lawyer?

Bank is threatening to take me to court and another bank is wanting to repossess my car. I make $21 an hour.

I work a full time job making $21 an hour, but I just can't keep up. I owe a thousand dollars in total to both banks in late payments. Rent is coming up in a couple days so my entire paycheck is going to go towards that. I'm attempting to sell some of my belongings but it's been slow and frustrating so far. I just recently picked up my car from the dealer after the engine caught on fire and I had to have my mom pay for it. I've already been helped by anyone I know who can spare some cash but I'm out of options. What can I do

Soooo the pcv valve failed, which caused the catalytic converter to get clogged, which made the exhaust got too hot, thus melted the cv axle which threw grease onto the exhaust, set the engine on fire, aaaaaand... it's back on the road after two long months. I'm not letting this hunk of shit die

Opinion: Wet Sounds is super overrated and overpriced. Do you agree or disagree?

I'm not a fan of free air style subwoofers and think that their low end is weak, especially when you could get literally anything else for less money. They hit hard, but have no volume in their sound. Their midrange and high range are just fine and actually quite excellent, but man the subwoofers are so meh. I'm not sure exactly why they're so coveted but if we're talking premier audio brands, I think JL Audio and Rockford walk circles around wet sounds.
