Dismantle more carefully..

Just found out it's the hi/low shift mechanism that's causing the issues. It's in a bind somehow. Ran it through the gears to be sure everything was working properly but couldn't get it into high. 🤦🏼‍♂️ I'll pull it back apart this week and get it figured out 🤙. I did find a rogue washer when I picked it up off the blocks...🤦🏼‍♂️ Learning the hard way!!!😬🤣 I'll let ya know what I find

If the book and the parts diagrams say there's meant to be a washer then there will be meant to be a washer and it must be something else wrong in there if it is the washer causing the cover not to fit right down. Can you check the shaft for end float/movement ? If you loosen the bolts does the cover try to spring out ?

I try to keep my wife in a new car, i say new car but shes been driving this one for 12 years, i buy new and drive it usually 100,000 miles, although this one is approaching 150000, and get another new one, we need one newer one to not be afraid of break downs on long trips. I have never bought a new one for myself, i usually just take the old one. I actually like the newest Subaru, the Ascent, its more like what shes driving now. Its been getting some bad complaints and i dont really like the turbo matched with CVT, a recipe for disaster. The outback also has a CVT but it has good ratings. I dont particularly like the idea of a CVT in a car, but they are all going in that direction so i guess they have improved the technology over the years, plus better fuel milege. I just like gears, i guess im showing my age by making that statement. Still leaning toward the Honda Pilot, and may even look at another jeep but its going to be about 10000 more. They are getting good ratings but im not so shure the quality is still there and changing ownership so many times.

Yeah good engines shouldn't use any oil, well shouldn't need a top up anyway, between oil changes. All my subs were non-turbo. They were a bit gutless for sure, but I'm never in a hurry. I used to go to the city with people to help them buy a car and my suggestion was we'll look at a few candidates and choose the model you like best, then we'll look at as many of them as we can in a couple of days and compare their conditions and what they will need to make them good for a few years, and then choose the best one based on that. These were always second hand cars of course. We'd buy something that was the right price for us to do what was needed to make it good again, then take it home and do the work and people have always been happy with their/our choice. I've talked people into buying cars that had over heated, or that barely moved because the clutch was worn out, but were absolute bargains because every thing else about them was in excellent condition, and better than some other things that were running good but were worn out all over or had rust, and sometimes rust hidden under a new paint job. We'd get them cheap, I'd nurse them the two-hundred miles home and then do the work and they would be good for years. They were all cars with a few miles and years on them though, which used to be the norm here in N.Z... Especially for families in the country. All modern cars are pretty good though, except for the occasional recognised fault some models have, so choose something you are comfortable in and like the look of I reckon. About the only thing that would deter me from a model I liked would be those horrible CVT, which seem prone to faults, and seem awful to drive as well. I don't know about there but here we can nearly always get a manual version of things. Some have manual, auto/twin-clutch and CVT options. It's always a worry though buying the next car I think, so good luck with it.. haha Oh.. And I'm sure you don't need to be told.. Make sure wife likes it.. haha

I don’t like bullies either but you need strength at the helm of the US presidency. Biden is very weak looking, to everyone. He’s frail, forgetful, and sad to watch. It’s just too hard to present him as competent. Everyone sees it, even his own party. No matter how you slice it, there is no arguing that Trump’s policies were better for the country, border, business (small and large) and most American wallets. I think a good portion of the country will vote on the border and economy. The border is a huge issue. The price of groceries is a huge issue. Price of living has gone up year over year. The Biden presidency has only raised the cost to live, allowed for more conflict in the world, and allowed for millions to come into the country undocumented. These are lasting effects on generations to come. It’s really a shame. They just focus on the wrong things. Biden needs to do something fast around the border and the cost of living, if he hopes to get re-elected.

Temperature check… looks like it’ll be a Biden vs Trump rematch. The rest of the republicans dropping out and I dom’t think Haley will get past South Carolina, maybe even New Hampshire tomorrow.

especially when half our government seems to have "paid for by the CCP" tags on their foreheads.

I'm more worried that China and America have just come to an agreement that climate change is real.. After everyone else has been saying it for years, and now they decide it's bad, and they need to do something.. I'm worried what the two of them will decide is needed to protect them from this "new" threat, and who's going to pay for their sudden concern..

Nothing in those petulant and irrational arguments change the fact that self mutilation does not change your gender. On a chemical level, your using suppresive drugs to . . change nothing. just prevent NATURAL biological processes from occuring. On a neurological level transgenderism fails as well. Been pretty well substantiated for quite awhile that men and women respond differently neurologically as well. Physically, just on the basis of skeletal structure alone no MALE body is capable of giving Natural Childbirth. STOP ranting insanity about promoting child abuse, self mutilation and scarification (on several levels) and empowering self destructive mental illnesses with all your talk about inclusivity and love. Love isnt rife with lies and Delusion. and for christ's sake quit trying to rationalize your twisted agenda before jesus whips off a Flip Flop and goes full temple trashing.

oh yeah . . and Dave. Show me in the bible where that God says that if you don't like your body and you think god stuck you in the wrong body that it is okay to surgically mutilate that God Created Body and try and trun Gods Creation into something it is not? there is much in the Bible about accepting the lot and role that that god stuck one in, but nothing about chopping and lopping the body that God gave you because yoru not happy with it. Also show me where it says in the bible that it is acceptable to teach Children to rebel against the design of Gods Creation and chose to self mutilate? I'll be waiting. Not holding my breath mind ya . . but waiting. for a long . . . long . . . . long time. Stop twisting things out of context. If your actually a FOLLOWER of that religion and not just weaponzing scriptures you know nothing about, then as a follower you would accept that book as literal words of your god . . You dont get to skew intent and meaning. that would be a sin in context of those scriptures. While there is much unfollowed in christs words about loving one another, nowhere is there ONE word advocating self mutilation and surgical gender swapping

And your wrong about Religion as well. Not just my spiritual path but in regards to a Creative being starting all of this nonsense. So maybe you should NOT interject your hate filled anti christian rants erroneously to support your politicized propaganda rants I am not christian, and religion has nothing to do with it although Common Sense and observation and LOGIC do. If you had a choice in terms of creationism youd have an active option M or Option W switch built in. Cause you know . . anything vast enough to Create the entire Universe would have the means to do so. Evolution? in terms of evol;ution transgenderism is a non start, a complete fail. . . there is no logical inclusion or ROOM in evolution for transgender delusionalism. Dont bring the frogs in here again either. Humans tampered with that again, by subjecting the study group to massive doses of toxic chemical. There was nothing natural about that. And Ill tell ya . . EVERY culture, civilization species and so forth that fails their young, goes extinct.

Ya lost that one already dude. Hermaphordites are an anomaly and NOT Transgender except in a rare handful of non chordate species hermaphrodism is a genetic discrepancy and does not occur with any sort of great frequency in higher level species. Get your facts straight not your indctrination agenda. This is Jr High Biology dude. Mutating frog experiements were NOT naturally occuring either, but were caused by repeated subjection to toxic chemicals that altered their DNA. NEXT.

Spoken like a true rebel.. Onya Ulf.. couldn't agree more.

I say we do away with all politicians. Especially the ones that think their support should come at me expense, as well as their supporters. Being charitable to those in need is one thing. Supporting those who try and force their lifestyle down someones throat (either side) AND requiring them to be held financially liable for those choices is dangerous, irresponsible and SLAVERY. Promoting DELUSION over actual SCIENCE and trying to skew the understanding of children in order to gather support and acceptance of such forced delusions is again, another form of slavery and entrapment. (the entire natural world reflects the duality of gender right down to the subatomic level - try me) And targetting children and trying to force aside parents in order to push that non natural delusional agenda is EXACTLY what promoted the backlash the rainbow mafia is experiencing now. But those people would not have felt encouraged to do so (including the minor attracted abominations) without the tacit and compliant support of politicians and the media. I have no time for scum that targets children. You can do what you want to your own body and mind as long as you pay your own way through it. For those who blame "the other side" the joke is on them while the cost of that idiocy weighs upon all of us. Neither party would have gotten away with anything without the COMPLIANCE and COOPERATION of the "other side in this two headed system of vipers. The RNC and the DNC is simply face and counter face of the tragicomical Uniparty Elitist cabal controlling America. Keep your hands in your own wallets. Keep your hands off of kids. Take responsibility for your choices and own your Consequences, good bad or indifferent. Grow up and realize that The Bill of Rights is actually Human right against oppresion. It has no political orientation and is the last brick in the walls tanding against global slavery and servitude and it is past time to stop allowing politicians and thieves of truth and integrity to sway us agianst each other. Doesnt matter who you vote for, or who wins . . until people drop their differences and stand against the tyrant globalists, were all going to lose in the long run. Some of us might survive that though.

No that would be the Democratic supports who thinks crazy Joe is doing a wonderful job while running this country into the ground....

Trump has done more good for America than all the previous presidents since Ronald Regan. The Democratic party is a complete disgrace and embarrassment to America....

The hold the extreme right and the tRump cult have on the GOP is appalling Those polls tell a sad tale of today's America
