Best have a motorcycle. If you don't already have tools and/or access to a lift, then cars can be a pain.

Pad slapping is a meme. Change Pads and Rotors together, grease your Slide Pins (assuming you have a sliding Caliper), take the Shims for the Pad Ears off and Wire Brush any Rust off where the Shims sat on the Bracket.

Finally, go for a drive and do at least 10 hard (but not ABS) stops from like 40 down to 10 MPH. Wait at least like 30 seconds between each stop so the Brakes don't overheat. You're trying to bed the new Pads into the new Rotors, not cook them.


As for your Tranny issues, hard shifting is usually attributable to putting the wrong type of Fluid in.

If you had said it felt like your Tranny was slipping, that would've meant you waited too long to change the Fluid and now some of your Clutch Material (yes, Autotragics have Clutches) has worn off the Clutches and is floating around in the old Fluid that you drained out.

I used the correct tranny fluid and I changed it at 68,000 which should've been at 60k.

Im thinking of doing a full flush this time. Maybe its because the dirty fluid inside the tranny is mixing with the new one and it is not doing to well.


Or maybe the retards who changed it fucked up the level of fluid or they used brake cleaner.

Usually a bit of old Fluid mixing with the new is no big deal, perhaps the level isn't quite right like you said.

Some types of Pads like Semi-Metallic are also naturally noisier than regular Organic or Ceramic. Not sure what would be causing shaking while braking, could be anything from unbalanced Wheels to "warped" (worn) Rotors.

I did my brakes 2 months ago. They squealed for the first 500 miles I drove, then it stopped altogether. I never had the car shake, though. Sounds like you fucked up.

Do rotors as well and be extremely autistic with everything next time, particularly where there's metal to metal contact which is what causes the squeaking.

I am not buying your rotors

If the steering wheel shakes side to side during braking then the discs are buckled. Take em off, take em to someone with a decent sized lathe for bare minimum cleanup, you're good to go.

Dunno man, sounds like it works to me

did you bed your new pads properly?

"omg maintaining your car is dumb"
please drink antifreeze next time
