Re: [DML] Warning: Paradise Motorsport!

[srubano@xxxx]

I have to agree.....car detailing is by far the easiest thing to 
do...diagnosing a problem is complicated. Any place that says it's 
one part, replaces it and then comes back to say that wasn't it but 
they think it's another part is not a good mechanic...they are doing 
what any non-mechanic person would do.....change all the parts until 
it works. A good mechanic diagnoses the problem...pinpoints it to a 
specific part that is causing it, replaces it and has it fixed the 
first time. The shop probably got to comfortable with Andrew agreeing 
to all the repairs they probably figured "What the hell.... we'll do 
one more thing to see if it works he's said yes to everything else".

Replacing a clutch is a no brainier with the right tools....you know 
the clutch is worn out so there is no guessing what part is bad and 
if you have a lift with a tranny jack...your in business.
