I try not to let anybody touch it if I have the time and skills to deal with the issues. I flushed the system last night and it’s doing better but the pump is still just making a usually loud noise I think. Just weird that fluid was contaminated somehow when I replaced it myself 8 months ago...

I bled until I got to clean fluid last night and ended up dumping that in the same waste bucket with the milky fluid last night. When I dip my hand in it it doesn’t feel like like what I would expect from pure AHC fluid. I took the last bit of unused AHC fluid and mixed it about 50/50 with some...

Hi everybody, I’ve never heard of this issue and I can’t really find anything online about it. But I have a bit of a cursed LX that’s given me more trouble than any other car BY FAR at this point, so nothing would really surprise me at this point. My LX had a major brake issue more than a...

Thanks, when I have some time in the next week or so I’ll take it apart and report back.

Jumping in here cause just yesterday I was driving back to my house after doing some shooting two hours west of Denver in the mountains. I was noticing an unusual and distinct hissing sound when I stepped on the brakes. Way louder than the usual psshhhh sound the pedal makes. I was in an area...

Instructions were unclear because they specifically cited the double nut plates were to be used when the center section was being put on. Then once the wings are in place it just says to put in the rest of the flat screws, at that point there are no more double nut plates and it doesn’t say what...

I see the holes to put them in on the bottom side but I was waiting to see if those nuts are what go with the flat screws before I put anything else on and do the final alignment.

Hi Everyone, Boy is this install guide not great, pretty confident that it has taken me twice as long as necessary due to having to intuit for the steps or photos that aren’t given. In the guide, for step “F - Final alignment,” it says to install the remaining 12 flat stainless steel screws...

Solenoid failure. Happened while I was on a catastrophe deployment for hurricane Ida working 7 days a week. Started off as an intermittent refusal to shift above 4th gear. The issue came and went half a dozen times during the first week then ultimately stuck around and wouldn’t shift above 3rd...

So the noise that I’m hearing is like the one a power steering system makes when you cut the wheel while stationary. Best example i could find is in this video between 49 and 59 seconds. You can hear it clearest in my video at the very beginning, in mine it’s a sustained hum. Side note, my...

Hi guys, Driving home the other day I got out to open the gate where I’m staying and noticed an unusual whining noise. Please have a listen to the video at the bottom of the post and let me know what you think. It’s a sustained noise that only appeared after I started up and drove around this...

Any progress here? Mines been sitting on the bump stops with the same issue for a week.

So I added a little more fluid to the reservoir, but in in L and bled maybe 100ml off the control pump accumulator then 100-120ml off each corner. Started it up, then pump was making a super high pitched whining noise and wouldn’t move the car at all. Shut it off, checked the fluid level in the...

AHC in N, fluid level is a little high. All throughout the flushing process it was fluctuating between height settings fine. And the first time I drove it after the change it went L to N, drove 15 minutes two ways then N to L back into the garage with no odd pump noise, trouble code or...

I just did a flush on my system following a couple guides that I saw on here. I seem to have pulled air into the system as well. Everything was working normally until the second time I drove the vehicle, about 3 minutes into the trip I threw the check AHC code. Stopped to examine what was going...
