    gear ratios in 4sp vs. 5 sp tranny

    Air Filter Change: Very Basic Question

    any petro distillate product including wd-40 is probably not the type to be used as lubricant:) on rubber products b/c they will "weaken" and" breakdown "rubber over time. agree with others who recommend silcone based lubricant as better alternative.

    Radiator Coolant?
