rev up your engines, Aziz says Scotty what are your thoughts about the Honda
ten speed automatic transmission, my 2018 Accord has it and I'm wondering how long it
should last me, Honda had a history of bad automatic transmissions but
that's said, now that 10-speed is their new design, honda is one of the
few manufacturers that designs and builds their own transmissions, now
Toyota uses Aisin, which they own a large percentage of and they've had pretty
good luck with their Aisins because they design it for their own cars, Honda that
is a new design, it might be a good design, Honda's designed a lot of good
stuff over the years, only times gonna tell, you know you own it and hey as a
favor to me and all everybody else in the world, if you do have problems with
it, please tell me go to my website scotty Kilmer.com and say oh my 10
speed Honda transmission has been a pile of junk, I'm having problems with it or
if it's good, say that it's good, cuz I always want feedback from as many people
as possible, so I can help everybody else with the truth, joey says I'm thinking
about becoming a mechanic what do you think of that, if you want to become a
mechanic, you want to have like electronic these days, cuz everything is
going to computer electronics, but if you like working with electronics you're
gonna make a lot of money, because everything is going electronic, now I
don't think we're gonna have full electric cars for quite some time, but
they're going partial and even if they do, you're still gonna have to know a lot
of electronics either way for a modern gasoline engine with their computer
controls or for fully electronic cars and if you like working with electronics
hey, when I was a kid that's how I made a lot of
money was electronics, because a lot of guys worked on cars that day they were
simpler, but to think about electricity is you can't see it, so a guy can see, oh the
water pumps broken, the brakes are worn out pretty simple, but you can't see
electricity and so the guys that weren't as sharp, they couldn't figure out
electronic stuff and they'd bring it to me and I just used my brain and okay
get out a little gauge measure it, okay needs this electronic part, so if you're
into electronics definitely become a mechanic you can make a lot of money
doing it, people are always going to have some kind of
machines out there and the electronics if you know how to work on it you're
gonna make some money there's no arguing that, next year says please
me, Scotty my 1998 proton engine mounts are worn is it
dangerous to drive, okay engine mounts are there because people don't want
vibration, and an engine mount is nothing but a piece of rubber and then two
pieces of metal, and so the engine bolts on the top and then there's rubber and
then the other metal part bolts to the frame and it keeps vibrations out, so
that's the only purpose that it serves, if yours are broken, it's going to
vibrate more and when you start it you might hear a clunk as they pick up and
down, unless you have a real old-fashioned design, the old-fashioned
ones actually hung, that like you take a Chevy 350 an old Chevy from the 60s, you had
motor mounts and then the engine was hanging off of them and if they broke
the engine would actually fall down, it could even hit the ground and they were
dangerous, but motor cars generally sit on top of them, so if the rubber breaks
they just rattle around a lot, it's not particularly dangerous, the only thing
that can happen is, when you start the car if you corner hard, it can pick up
enough that it can actually eventually the drive shafts will come out and it
won't run, because it'll pop them out of the transmission, I've seen that when they
get bad enough, but those protons are pretty small vehicles and if you don't want to
spend the money and you don't mind the clunking and then it goes okay, I've seen people
drive them years that way, max Martinez says Scotty
good morning and I need help, I got a 2016 yukon XL with 65,000 miles and I
don't know if I should use full synthetic or regular oil, okay you know
it was pretty much designed for full synthetic oil, if you've been using full
synthetic oil stick to it, but if you have been using regular oil don't switch
and I don't care what the engineers say, the engineer say hey you can switch it
doesn't matter, well blah, I've had numerous customers in
the past run an engine for years on regular plain dinosaur petroleum oil
then they decided when they had a hundred thousand miles or more
oh we're gonna switch to synthetic oil, then they started leaking and or burning
oil and they didn't in the first place, you want a pretty much stick to the oil
that the engine has always had, so if you've always used synthetic stick to
synthetic, but if you haven't I wouldn't switch over one way or the other
troy says Scotty what kind of car should I get my daughter for her first
vehicle thanks, ok it depends on your daughter
is she a good driver or not, cuz both to my sons
they wrecked the first cars I got them generally sons drive like maniacs and
they always wrecked their first cars, so is she a good driver or not, now if she's
a pretty good driver, you want to get her
something that's safe, I'd say get something like a good used
Toyota Camry they're pretty safe or if you're really into safety, get her an old
Volvo those things are like tanks, you know if you find an old good one that
somebody took care of go ahead and get something like that, but if not you know
the Camrys are very safe they got a lot of room and it got a lot of airbags on them
and I'd say go get a Camry or if you want to get a little low scale get a
Toyota Corolla they can run a really long time, the Camrys are a lot safer
than the Corollas are they got a lot more airbag systems on them and they're a
bigger car and regardless of what anybody says, the bigger the vehicle
you're in, the safer you're gonna be in a wreck, that's just common sense, so if you
never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to ring that
Bell!
