yea crazi... i'm glad though....
I think the reason for taking off the negative (and actually every manual specifically says to take it off first) is safety. Should your wrench slip while unscrewing positive and hit the ground you'd have a nice mini lightning in your engine compartment ...Originally Posted by pinoyesv6
if you're using a wrench to loosen the clamp on the positive terminal of the battery, and you slip, it doesn't matter if you negative battery clamp is connected or not because the wrench will hit the negative terminal of the battery. not only will you have a nice spark, there will be a nice mark on your wrench and a small chunk of the negative battery terminal missing.I think the reason for taking off the negative (and actually every manual specifically says to take it off first) is safety.

i should know. its happened to me before.
so letting go and jumping back as opposed to trying to grab it before it lands is probably a good reaction in this scenario.

tranny flush, timing belt, tensioner replacement at 80k
the wrench is already in your hand. so by the time you realized that the wrench slipped, its probably already too late.
YOu need to change the tranny oil if automatic at 24k without fail.
Use Amsoil, and do religiously, it will save you spending £1k on a new tranny in few years
Do a FLUSH aswell, not just a drain.
