Myths..auto that is.

["William Herbert" <Willbarc@xxxxxxx>]

I wanted to bring up the subject of "myth" repairs. If you have been a car nut very long you probably know there is alot of BAD car advice out there. At least as far as repairs go. I think this forum would be a good place to list..all the NO NO's

 

Just to list a couple BAD IDEAS and myths

 

1.You can use transmission fluid as power steering fluid.

 

2.Type F transmission fluid in a Mopar automatic for "firmer shifts"

 

3.Form a gasket.... you don't need a gasket!{ya right}

 

4. Transmission fluid for a quick shine on your paint.

 

5. Bondo to fix rust holes.

 

6. Primer is good enough to last until you "get around to painting it"

 

7. You can weld a gas tank..just fill it with water. NOT!

Who has got their own? What bad advice have you been given and rolled your eyes..or even

 

WORSE..tried.
