How do you check the auto trans fluid on a 2000 Volkswagen Bettle?
Auto Trans fluid can only be checked with the engine running and at normal operating temperature, otherwise you will get a false reading.
With the engine running, and the gear selector in Park, and the hand brake fully engaged and the wheels chocked (this prevents the car from running you over), pull the dipstick marked "TRANS" or something similar, wipe with lint free rag, then reinsert the dipstick until it stops and immediately remove it and check the level on the stick.
If the level is low, add only enough fluid to reach the "ok" marking ... overfilling an auto trans is just as harmful as not having enough fluid in it. Add a little at a time, checking the level often.
How do you change the spark plugs on a 1998 Lincoln Navigator?
First remove the negative battery cable. Relieve the fuel pressure from the fuel injection assembly. You must remove the fuel injection assembly to get the coils out. The assembly is anchored to the manifold by 2 screws on each side of the motor. Once you get the screws off you can move the assembly up or away enough to get to the coils. I would remove the wiring from the injectors. (BE CAREFUL NOT TO MIX UP THE WIRES. DO ONE AT A TIME) The coils are anchored to the manifold by one bolt on each coil. (7mm) Gently pull the coil up and disconnect the wires. From there you should be able to put a spark plug socket into the hole and unscrew the plugs.

How do you replace clutch cable on 1968 vw beetle?
First, unhook the battery, block the wheels and jack up the left side of the car. Crawl under and look straight up from the axle; you will find the clutch lever on the side of the transmission. Unhook it. Then open the engine compartment and unhook the accelerator cable from the carb.
Go into the driver's footwell and flip the gas pedal forward. You will see two bolts holding the pedal cluster on. Remove them, and work the cluster out of the hole it's in.
If the clutch pedal goes all the way to the floor when you step on it, three things could have happened - well, four if you count the transmission breaking but that's the least likely to happen.
First, the hook on the end of the clutch pedal could break. If that's what happened, it's held on with a little bolt on the side. Remove the bolt, slip out the old hook. Grease the shaft of the new one, stick it where the old one was and put the bolt back in.
Second, the clutch pedal end of the cable could have broken and third, the transmission end could have broken. In either case, stick your finger into the hole the clutch cable is sticking out of and find the clutch cable tube. When you do, pull the old cable completely out. Grease the new one and work it into the clutch cable tube. When it's almost all the way in, put it on the hook and put the pedals back in place.
Crawl under the car. Put the end of the cable through the clutch arm on the transmission, then screw on one of the two nuts - the other is a jam nut. Get someone to push the clutch pedal down 1/2" with their hand, and run the nut all the way up to the clutch arm, then put on the jam nut. Set the car on the ground, hook up the accelerator cable and reconnect the battery.
