whats the difference between automatic transmission fluid and power steering fluid?

There's not a LOT of difference, because they're both hydraulic fluids.\n\nIt used to be okay to put ATF in the power steering reservoir, but ATF has become more sophisticated, with many more additives than before.\n\nIt's not a good idea to use ATF as power steering fluid (unless recommended by the car's manufacturer, as with some BMW's), if that's where your question was leading :)

The rotary gear pumps are volumetric pumps, meaning that if you decrease the flow rate, or increase the speed of the pump you can achieve higher pressures. The pump speed is given by the rotation speed of the electric motor combined with the gear box what is a constant value for each installation. At higher fluid viscosity then normal, and a constant speed (how I wrote above), the work of the pump is harder, because higher viscosity means greater friction, and greater energy consumption. The result will be,(if isn't a slack in dimensioning for the power of the electric motor), that the protection will go out. If it is a frequency converter for adjusting the speed of the electric motor it is better to adjust the speed to a lower value, when you use higher viscosity fluids to protect the installation.

Too many variables to give a complete answer. It depends on how steep the hill is, how fast you are going, how much you car weighs, how much torque your engine develops, etc\n\nThe short answer is: If your engine is lugging down, switch to a lower gear. If your car has an automatic transmission, it should select the appropriate gear automatically.

A manual transmission also produces less heat, is lighter, and doesn't pose a danger of dumping hydraulic fluid all over the race course if a hose comes loose.

blow off valves make that noise when the transmission is not connecting the engine to the drive wheels regardless of if it is shifting on its own or being shifted manually.  however it a auto shifts are very quick so it will not be the long dramatic pshhhhhhh like in a manual

well an upgraded clutch and flywheel, helps hold the horsepower and tourque created by an enhanced engine. If you have done any serious motor upgrades(i.e. big turbo, bore, port polish and big time spray) yeah you need a better than stock clutch

Read your warranty paperwork.  Go by what it says.  The dealership will have to honor whatever it says.  As for your warranty being expired now, that really has no bearing on the transmission problem, since it began when there was at least two weeks remaining on the warranty.\n\nBe sure you get and keep the paperwork for BOTH repairs.  If you don't, you will limit your options if this problem arises a third time.\n\nIf you have any more problems with your transmission after this second repair, contact your attorney general's office about your state's lemon law.

The simple reason is that Hydraulics utilizes fluid as opposed to Pneumatics (air) although both are referred to as "fluid power" , the liquid normally oil used in hydraulics is simply uncompressible. SO THE FLUID is essentially stronger than STEEL when a pump pushes the oil to a device like a cylinder, imagine the fluid being a solid BAR of STEEL say 6 inches in diameter, it is literally like pushing a bar of steel.  \n\nHeavy equipment say could normally operate at say 2500 PSI out of the pump,  since the pump pressure is essetially regulated, it is simply a matter of selecting the desired force and sizing say the cylinder (for instance) appropriatey.\nSince:\nForce = Pressure (pump pressure) times Area (of the cylinder)\n\nThe forces are absolutely staggering with a quarter of a million pounds force off a 10" cylinder at 2500 psi pump output.  the chart below may not have been converted properly, but if you work the equations,  you will see that the incompressibility of the fluid is the secret to limitless amounts of power.  Usually safety is the only limiting concern with hydraulics as it is easy to die working close to anything with such reserve and speed.\n\n\nCylinder bore                                                       Force at 2500 psi \n\n2"                                                7,850 lbs\n3"                                              17,663 lbs\n4"                                                     31,400 lbs\n5"                                                   49,063 lbs\n6"                                                    70,650 lbs\n7"                                                       96,163 lbs\n8"                                                125,600 lbs\n9"                                                 158,963 lbs\n10"                                                     258,750lbs\n\nPneumatics are faster usually, BUT NEVER as powerful due to the compressible nature of air.

Happened to a couple of my cars. Take yours to a transmission shop. There's no quick fix.

lower viscosity in water (less of a resistence to flowing) therefore less rubbing between the particles in the fluid making it flow easier where as in syrup for example the particles are closer together and cause friction to make it flow slower. **a higher viscosity fluid (like syrup) is thicker than a lower viscosity fluid (like water)

The fluid is called cerbrebrospinal fluid. You can read about it here:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebrospinal_fluid

Why didn't you just type 'aircraft hydraulic fluid' into Google?\n\nI don't know...\n\nwww.tpub.com/content/aviation/14018/css/14018_178.htm

The headers will shift the powerband slightly to the right. If your driving features more low RPM operation, you will have improved mpg, if you drive in the high RPM range, you will have worse mpg.

The hottest part would be the transmission.  Much of its heat comes from conduction from the engine through several broad metal connections.  Often a transmission is cooled with the same coolant as the engine, so temperatures may approach 240F in the internal mechanism, and 200F externally.  The other parts of the power train are much cooler, typically just being ambient plus a slight amount of heat from frictional losses.

manual transmission. i love to drive stick. cup holders rock, too.

When you drive an automobile you need different speed-torque ratio depending on condition of the road. Suppose you are moving uphill. At that time you would need more torque than speed. (please see below for further discussion on torque). So, the transmission has to be shifted down to a lower gear ratio (first or second gear in case of a manual transmission automobile). But when you are driving on the highway you don't need high torque rather you need more velocity. So, the gear is to be shifted up (means a higher gear ratio between the driven gear and the driving one). \n\nFor your information together torque and speed gives the power at any gear ratio. You may define torque as a force required to rotate something. When you loosen a screw, initially you have to apply more force to make it to rotate i.e. you need more torque.
