    There is no such things as a 'lifetime' transmission that requires no servicing. This is manufacturer double speak. It's warranted for the 'lifetime' of the transmission, whatever that is. Usually early failure. Service the transmission regularly. This goes for manual transmissions also that use gear oil. Keep the fluid clean. Only then will you begin to approach a 'lifetime' transmission.

    My 09 Matrix (220,000) sometimes runs great, I'll stop and then restart it, and it runs horrible. It throws a multiple misfire codes in cylinders 1 and 2. Clear codes restart, and it runs great, revs to 6000 RPM, starts right up, for A few rides then it happens again.

    Ya buddy I’ve arced a 12 battery with a wrench and melted lugs by accident. There are a lot of hazards there. I wouldn’t be teaching “the non dangers of car batteries and electrical systems”. A little counter productive. Then, if the car IS running, the current IS significantly higher and the voltage like 25% on top of that. So one little detail seriously changes this game.. or erm, 300V EV batteries Teach people not to make sparks, if it’s not a hazard, great. It’ll freak them out and they’ll be careful anyway. Do the opposite, there is potential for unintended consequences. While car batteries aren’t an immediate hazard, they store a lot of energy. Imagine had that wrench actually fused to the terminals. What then?

    I have a question about the power steering (Audi A4 B5), which makes a noise when the engine is running and you move the steering wheel even a little (the more the louder). Also, hydraulic oil is leaking somewhere, but I can't find the location for the life of me. However, the leak is so big that the expansion tank is almost empty within 2-3 minutes. Any idea where this could typically be on the A4 B5... ?
