Current Car Repairs/Issues

Auto or manual?

Automatic. Tried driving a Standard, but it didn't go well. Just need more practice.

Lost my Driver side fog light on the snowy roads today, bummer! :-(
Number 11 on the list of work to be done.

Does anyone know how to replace a dipstick shaft that snapped off? Happened while I did an oil and filter change last weekend.
My part just came in today from Amazon, that I ordered last Saturday.

It just clips on. If it is broken, you may have to use pliers to remove the broken piece at the bottom. The engine cover will need to be removed and you can see it pretty well. The new one just snaps in place. Very easy, shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes.

Well done.

A little late, but the transmission fluid has been replaced March 11th and the Driver Side Rear Pan bolt is stripped. Will have to get that replaced if it causes issues. #12 on the list.

Does anyone have a recommendation on repairing a output speed sensor or helpful tips?

*Took off the Fog light and front spoiler since the front bumper got cracked and I don't want to loose the fog light again.

In the process of changing the Output shaft speed sensor,
I realized the battery knocked up against the latch of the headlight and made it loose where it can fall out. In the process of trying to tighten that up, the plastic latch snaps... :-(

According to the Chilton and Haynes repair books with a couple jerks on Youtube whom don't finish videos or mistitle said video.

I give up!!!
