ymmv = your mileage may vary

gets said a lot on the FTE site. Just meaning you might get different results than what i did

 

Because a trans brake has to have fluid to hold it. A trans brake applies first gear and reverse at the same time to hold the vehicle to build fluid pressure, and also resulting in launching harder. If the motor isn't running, there's no pressure.

 

Never heard that one before. I will say though, IMO, Kroil kicks the **** out of Liquid Wrench. I would rank Liquid Wrench below PB Blaster too. So yeah, I guess YMMV applies there as well. My next door neighbor is a Millwright, and he also swears by Kroil.

 

Yeah if im not looking to spend a ton of money Ill buy PB blaster, I think it works pretty good and usually never fails me. If i feel like overspending Ill buy a can of Kroil. I know a lot of people swear by it but ive never had it work on something that PB blaster didnt. and then yeah I too would rank Liquid Wrench below Pb blaster. Seems more gimmicky to me. Anywho I tried everything on my parts on the 74 just a few weeks ago and nothing budged till I poured the atf/acetone mix on. I have a bunch of both just sitting on a shelf so right now its easy to mix up. Itll be my go to for a while now.

 

I understand this but I'm thinking more of a similar device to brake or lock up the transmission with more substance than the shift linkage. There's no need for spinning up the torque convertor if the only function is to be a brake. Launch isn't a concern. I'm not challenging you on this but obviously braking the transmission works well and I don't think the hydraulics can be much of an obstacle to this. Again, I'm just contemplating why things are done the way they are. Often it's just because that's the way things have always been done. Don't fix what isn't broken is fine but that doesn't deal with making something better. Just thinking out loud with my fingers.

 

What you are talking about is what the park pawl does. I am of the opinion that you don't want to be locking up the trans in any other way internally because there is a chance of breaking things unnecessarily.

 

I just sent a few pics of to an upholsterer here locally that a few Mustang guys have used. Trying to get a price on doing my front seats. Hopefully he has a good match so I don't have to unnecessarily rework the rear seats. I guess they don't look too bad for being 31 years old.... EDIT: These pics remind me to order new weatherstripping. I have new window motors, and all of the glides, rivets, etc. on the way.

 

White, If you don't mind how can I find out what updates my computer is getting? When I just started my computer it went through the typical update thing before the computer actually starts up. Problem is there is no information about what is getting uploaded and more often than not it doesn't show up in control panel's updates. Component services is usually no help and I don't understand the log process and none come setup so logs have to be created. Some things do show up like Microsoft Audit with special logon privileges whatever that is and then there are host services which to the average computer user is all Greek when trying to figure out what most are about and often turn out to not be Microsoft at all. It's just that when I turn my computer on and have to wait 2 to 5 minutes before the log on screen shows up I'd like to know what's just happened and by who. This is because of things like this, the computer came with McCaffee (sp?) which I deleted for Norton. I've done everything I can find to keep them off my computer but that's impossible. Anything I delete shows back up when restarting. Same for a lot of Intel's nonsense I don't use like their graphics and Bluetooth. I have the computer I do because of the graphics it came with for CAD and Modeling. Or, am I just wasting my time concerning myself with this stuff and getting pissed that I don't own my computer? I've paid a one time rental fee when I bought it.

 

In the bottom left, click the windows icon, and click on the settings cog. This should take you to "Windows Settings". From there, click on "Updates and Security". In the center column, there is a "View Update History" selection. That will tell you your updates you have installed.

I hate to tell you, but if you have an i3, i5, i7... then you are using Intel's graphics unless you've installed an alternate video card.

Can you be more specific with what you are deleting that is showing back up after a reboot? One thing you might have is an updater running on startup. Go to your task manager, then see if you have updaters running. Anything that doesn't belong, disable it.

 

Thanks White. Hadn't looked at updates through security. I see everything HP and Intel tried to update failed to update. Didn't stop them from taking the time to try though. My Samsung TV is also trying to install an app I had no idea about.

I'm sorry to say I can't quickly be specific on what is reloading because it's been going on for a long time and I've done a lot of giving up. I do know some are Microsoft service host providers and they may be I'm unable to delete even when logged on as administrator. There was a time where I tried to take control of processes through security properties and couldn't. Often thought I had until the next startup. McCaffe for example. It's still there in my File Explorer no matter how many times it's deleted or I take control of it. I assumed this is because of their "special logon properties" I don't seem to have any control over even with the firewall.
