Car confusion
1) This semester, my car's clutch system stopped working and I realized that there was a leak somewhere after research. I had someone take my car taken to someone and fix it when I was overseas to come back and find that the issue was not resolved. One day it would not work anymore, so I decided I would learn and fix it on my own. I could not afford the Honda shop price, and I do not trust mechanics anymore. After more detective work, I found the master clutch cylinder leaking. I bought a new one and began the annoying process of replacing it. It took hours or learning what went where and how to fish it out (my car is annoying). After putting the new one in, I learned I missed a crucial step, bench bleeding it. I had to take it back out and rig a home made tool to bleed it and install it back in the car. Throughout the process, I also hated how many runs to stores I had to make because of missing parts.
2) I learned everything there is to learn about my hydraulic clutch system and how to take out a majority of it. The actual clutch is in the transmission and it was not necessary to fix it.\
3) Throughout the process, I had gone back and forth so many times and learned so much about cars, how they work, and hydraulic clutch systems. In the process, I got super frustrated and angry, and I was running out of time as well because I had exams coming up. I took a break from it and came back later and finished it almost immediately, especially because I knew what to do and what I needed. It did not take too long after. This class and its lessons taught made me analyze opportunities better and how to analyze my risk better.
Hi Hassan,
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing. It would take me forever to learn how to use a clutch. I am currently, completely useless with cars. Hopefully, once all of this is over I will learn everything there is to know about cars. But I thinks it is super awesome that you did it all by yourself. You literally took manners into your own hands.
Hi Hassan,
ReplyDeleteI am amazed at how you decided to fix such a problem by yourself and willing to find different resources to help you accomplish your goal. I do not know if I would have enough patience or interest to fix something like that especially if I had other important things to do. I think taking a break from it and going back to it helped you a lot because you regained patience and you analyzed it differently. By applying this to whatever problem you come across, you will know which approach to take and can overcome problems a lot quicker.
