The mityvac for me seemed more trouble then what its worth, its hard to get a good seal and so little air bubbles appear while trying to pump out the break fluid and it didn't seem to work very good since its hard to get enough suction. i did find it easy to use but not to work as well as doing it the old way, *using the break pedal*. ~Steven

if the old rotors look fine as in no heat marks or nicks you can reuse them, the rotor should be smooth and if they aren't they will need to be replaced, its not a good idea to resurfaced rotors since the chances of them getting warped goes up. Most likely if they change the brakes before they wear out completly you can reuse the rotor. The squeaking from brakes is caused by not using the anti-squeak stuff or not seating the brakes right, usally brakes do squeak once in awhile no matter what you do depending on how hard you use them.

yea i'll used up all the fluid i have so i will have to get more after work tomorrow and see if the bubbles will go away. if that doesn't work i will let you guys know. Thanks for the input :cool:.

I drove the car around then put it into all the gears and then into park with the engine running and opened the hood and pulled the dip stick out noticed the bubbles then wiped it super clean and put it back in and pulled it out, putting the dip stick in light to see that it is at the right mark. if anything i think its on the low side. when i check with the engine off the fluid comes up way pass the full mark. i used dexron III/mercon couldn't find dexron II. ~Steven

like the title says I seem to get bubbles on my dipstick when i check my transmission fluid. this all started after changing the fluid . I thought it was from over filling the transmission so I slowly let out fluid to see if it would get better, however it seemed to only make the bubbles bigger so i'm wondering if i didn't add enough fluid or if their is something else wrong the car is a 93 legacy automatic awd.

This post has inspired me to change my atf but I ran into a weird problem, that problem is the dipstick is hard to read. Its not that the dipstick doesn't have the markings but the fluid has such a low viscosity it seems to run off before I can read it and so I can't tell how much fluid is in my tranny just wondering if anyone has any tricks or tips. Thanks, Steven

wow, good thing I haven't got around to it , thanks for the info.

A little off topic, but I have heard that it can be beneficial to change the filter screen. Like when you get torque bind, however nipper you say its bad to do, just wondering why. ~Steven

if you still want to do your own tint job there is a site http://www.tintdude.com/ which has some good info.

yea i noticed that and like I said only found the link so not sure what the user name is or password but when it worked it was pretty interesting kind of had all the part diagrams with small how-tos, oh well.

found this link while browsing the web and just wanted to share it with you guys. it works for me but post if it doesn't anyways it has tons of info at least on my 93 legacy so hopefully it can help with other car repairs aswell. The link is <http://arrc.epnet.com/autoasp/index.asp?sid=15352166&uid=s8393054.main.autorefctr> just copy and paste it in your browser without the "<>" or space between the t and r which i can't get out, should work but it is from another site so i don't take any responsibility ps not sure if linking isn't allowed so if it is a problem admins please delete

I need to repaint mine and was wondering if i were to repaint it black would it just come off again since that metal is smooth and probally hard for paint to stick on.

you can go to kbb.com to find the price for it probally going to run about 2,000 or so not sure though since it depends where you live. not sure if there is a lot of people wanting that type of car but if it runs good and looks good it should be a easy car to sell. good luck

its ok to mix, however Castrol Syntec Blend is fairly common so it wouldn't be any harder to find that vs mobil one or something.

the bolt that you take off to get the caliper up is the same size at least on mine.
