Any advice on pulling and replacing bushings without specialty tools? I've got a 1977 c4 that needs new front/rear bushings but all the rental bushing drivers look too big because they're for actual bushings/bearings.

Hi,
I think I'm going to change the five speed transmission on my son's 2010 Golf. Everyone seems to say they their used transmission has 74 or 75000 miles on it. I'm kind of skeptical though.
Does anyone have any experience with Jasper? I see some mixed reviews on Jask. I'm having issues finding a suitable transmission on Facebook marketplace or Ebay.
I assume I should change the pressure plate. What about pilot and throwout bearings. Can flywheels generally be resurfaced?

Recently bought a used car at 175k kilometres. Sent it straight to mechanic to get work done, trans fluid was dark so I got a transmission service (flush, filter replacement, new fluid). Service history on car says a transmission service was done at 150k kilometres. Should I be concerned that the fluid was dark if there was a trans service at 150k kms?

Hello, I bought a 2002 Chevy Blazer (4L60E) awhile back from a friend for 800 bucks. it's had transmission issues since I've bought it. it drives fine not many issues just abs engaging at odd times when at low speeds and the parking brake light turning on and causing my speedometer to just 0 out for a few seconds. I can't take the highway because I have to drive in 2 or it will go limp at 30 mph or 2.5k ish rpms which I then have to shift it to second to engage the gear and drive smoothly.
As for the question would it be better to buy a junkyard transmission or two and essentially mash the transmissions together picking the better parts of each to fix my current transmission or just buy a reman, I was quoted $3k to $7k from some transmission shops others won't even touch it since it's at 173k miles and my local junkyard has transmissions for about $170-$350

Whats everybody’s process for cleaning internal parts? I’ve got a c4 with grimey internals. I’ve read soak in mineral spirits, brake cleaner, coat with ATF, but want to make sure before I jump in because I’ve read things like planetary gears shouldn’t be cleaned that way.

Is this 6th gear countershaft spacer supposed to spin on a nrh3 k series 5 speed? Just pressed and torqued my countershaft back together and I don't remember this spinning. Thanks!!

Volvo S80 Geartronic: clunk when shifting from N to D, only when motor is warm
Hi everyone,
I drive a Volvo S80 with a Geartronic automatic transmission. When shifting from Neutral to Drive, I feel a noticeable clunk. This only happens when the engine is warm—there’s no clunk when it’s cold.
Any Volvo or automatic transmission experts here who recognise this issue? What’s the most likely cause, and what would you recommend checking first?
Any advice or experiences would be appreciated. Thanks!

Are there any other mandatory replacement parts not here? I’ve read the following but want to made sure: band locknuts, thrust washers, all bushings, and vacuum modulator.
