Unit Reverse Gear

Is Auto Part Outsourcing in Reverse Gear Now?

Given the recent developments in the auto industry, it appears that the big car makers in the US are looking eastwards in search of markets.

The sales of automobiles during the month of June in the US, is close to drop to an annual rate of 12.5 million units. This figure is about 15% less than last year's stats. Coinciding with these developments, the Big three manufacturers, namely GM, Ford and Chrysler would be exporting goods worth US$ 2.2 billion to China.

Why is China a promising destination?

Not to mention that the Chinese auto industry has it's own share of troubles, but it is still one of the most happening markets. According to a projection by Mckinsey, at present the country has the highest sales-growth rate for automobiles. Moreover, by 2010 it is expected to attain mammoth proportions and become the second largest market, just behind the USA.

There's little doubt about the fact that China's automobile production has been on the rise for years now.

Between the years 2001 to 2005, automobile consumption in the country experienced CAGR of 54.42%. While the consumption showed an increase, the real promise lies in the fact the country still had only 11 automobile units for every 1000, and that's a much smaller market penetration of vehicles compared to other countries. For instance, in 2007, UK had 373 cars per 1000, US had 478 cars per 1000, Australia 485 had cars per 1000, Japan had 395 cars per 1000 and Italy had 539 per 1000.

On the whole China seems to be a hot spot as far as the automobile industry is concerned. As far as the US is concerned, though there may be some differences between the two countries about investments, but as it is learned the high ranking U.S. and Chinese officials are working to smooth out even those.

why can't i get any lower units to work on my 79 140 hp merc?

i lost forward and reverse on my 79 merc 140 then put on a used but in working condition lower unit on and it would not work on my boat. I still have no gears and can't figure it out. Could it be a bad cable? please help.

After you took the old one off did you not try to shift it manually by operating the shift rod up and down, turning the Drive Shaft, and observing whether the prop shaft turned with it?

And you didn't test the new one before you put it on?

Disconnect the shift cable from the shift lever, and see if you can operate the shift lever by hand.

Take the Spark Plugs out and rotate the flywheel by hand, observe the prop. If it turns with the flywheel, then the lower unit is ok, and you need to troubleshoot your cable and linkages.

This is a real good example of how a $75 Service Manual pays for itself over and over.

It's also a perfect example of why random parts replacement without taking a few minutes to diagnose the actual cause, is a poor way of solving mechanical problems.

Replacement Decals Fish

Stickers Bumped in Favor of Magnets

How often do you see a shiny new Lexus coasting down the road with an “I’d Rather Be Fishing” bumper sticker slapped on the back?  Or, have you seen a proud vehicle owner buffing his vinyl “Don’t Blame Me…I Voted for Bush” to a perfect sheen?  Probably not.  Vinyl bumper stickers are being phased out.  They leave residue, are hard to remove, and scream 1992.

Today, political candidates, schools and other organizations are moving to the bumper magnets.  Bumper magnets are non-offensive to vehicles, leave no residue, and can be removed and replaced at will.  Vehicle owners are much more likely to support a cause on their vehicle if they know the integrity of the vehicle will not be damaged.

The cost of a bumper magnet is a little higher than a vinyl decal.  However, the cost is generally lower than a static cling, which would be used in a similar fashion, but on the inside of car windows.  The issue with placing a cling in the interior of a window is that, nowadays, most vehicles have tinted windows, thus rendering the static cling useless in many cases.

Bumper magnets can also be made easily into full-sized door magnets up to 18?x24”.  In addition to the campaign signs, bumper magnets are a great political tool. They are good for parades and in-town driving, as large Vinyl Decals tend to get pricey.

Quick tips:

-Apply magnets to clean, dry surfaces

-Remove magnets when going through a car wash or power washing a vehicle

-Remove magnets when driving on highways and interstates - these are typically rated up to 55 mph

-Apply to a smooth surface, avoid placing over molding, rivets and curves on a vehicle

-Occasionally wash under the magnet

-Periodically move the magnet to a different location on the car to avoid any chance of discoloration

If you are looking for an affordable alternative to an adhesive sticker, go with the bumper magnet.  You’ll enjoy the versatility and your car will appreciate it too.
