How's your clutch?
A clutch is under a large amount of stress in a motor vehicle, and over time they do wear out, and need to be replaced. Some signs that your clutch may be ready for replacing are:
*Strange noises coming from the clutch
*The clutch will not release completely when the pedal is all the way down
*Slipping while starting or changing gears
*Slipping under heavy loads, or while driving uphill
*Chattering while the clutch is engaged
*Some times problems with clutch performance have nothing to do with the clutch itself but are in one of the related systems. Such as hydraulics, or the flywheel.

Congrats to all the Cowboys & Stars fans out there!
Two quick facts for you on this great day:
1. The world’s first speeding ticket was issued in 1902.
How fast was the offending motorist travelling? A scandalous 45mph.
2. Remember, the fall is the perfect time to inspect your battery. Check to make sure the battery connections clean, tight and free of corrosion. Switches in temperature whether from cold to hot, or hot to cold is the hardest time on batteries. That is why a Fall check of the battery and charging system at this time can avoid that early morning no-start surprise. Also check the age of your battery, because they don’t always give warning signs before they fail, it is advisable to replace batteries that are more than three years old.

Happy Tuesday!
Cars are complex machines that require all parts to work efficiently, effectively, and in time with one another. Some parts of the car are more essential than others in keeping things running smoothly, such as the timing belt and the serpentine belt. The serpentine belt helps control some important functions in your car, and will need to be replaced during the lifespan of your car to keep things running.
The serpentine belt function is to ensure the air conditioning, power steering, alternator, and water pump continue to work as they should. These systems are essential to your vehicle so if your serpentine belt breaks, your car will no longer run. The alternator, for example powers the electrical components of your car, including the battery. When the alternator isn’t working because the serpentine belt has broken, you won’t be taking your car anywhere.

Happy Sunday!!
Checking your car’s tires and having them replaced if necessary is essential before hitting the roads in the ice. Let’s look at why it is so important to check your tires before driving in the ice, and what to look for.
Why is it so important to check your tires before winter comes? Worn down or underinflated tires and icy roads are a recipe for disaster. When your tires aren’t in optimal condition they can’t grip the road properly, making cold, wet, or icy roads a major hazard. During the summer months, worn down tires still work well in optimal conditions (ie. no rain or ice), but during the winter are especially dangerous. Make sure you check for wear on your tires as well as their pressure level.
If you are experiencing any symptoms call to schedule service with Fifth Gear Automotive for a comprehensive inspection by one of our ASE certified mechanics.

Happy Wednesday!
Is your Check Engine Light On? What does it mean when the Check Engine Light Goes On And Off? A Check Engine Light is a warning light that comes on to indicate a problem. Your vehicle is constantly testing the sensors in your vehicle to make sure they are operating within standards. If the Check Engine Light Goes On And Off intermittently, it could indicate that the problem is minor as it’s not detected during every cycle. In this case, you may choose to continue to drive your vehicle and assess it for any other symptoms that could be related to the Check Engine Light. Is your Car Running Rough? Do you hear or smell anything out of the ordinary? If there are no other symptoms, it is still a good idea to get the Check Engine Light Diagnostics with us here at Fifth Gear.

Your rotors should always be inspected together with your brake pads because these components are always in contact. Rotors should have a smooth surface. Grooves on the surface of a rotor indicate that brake pads are wearing away the rotors surface. You can have your rotors resurfaced. However, if the damage is extensive, you need to have new ones installed. Remember to always have new brake pads installed after getting new or resurfaced rotors.

He once had a rattlesnake bite him, after 5 days of excruciating pain, the snake finally died.
For Halloween when kids in the neighborhood would dress up as superhero's, they came by his house to make sure they got his face right.
He once won first place in a staring contest, with his own reflection in the mirror.
He is definitely the most interesting man in the world. He is definitely our fearless leader, and it is definitely his BIRTHDAY!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILL!!!

Popping or Clicking?
If you’re hearing more of a popping or clicking noise when you turn the wheel, this is more likely to be an issue further down in your suspension or the wheels. A popping noise may indicate worn or damaged suspension joints. Clicking or crunching tends to point to bad CV joints (constant velocity joints). And a humming noise when steering may mean your wheel bearings are damaged or worn.
Any of these types of issues should be addressed as soon as you’re able. Problems within the suspension and wheels can lead to unpredictable handling, uneven tire wear, and further damage within the component chain from steering wheel to the tires.
