Where is the aut. trans. filter located?
The Transmission Filter is internal to the transmission. You must drain the fluid from the transmission pan and remove it to gain access to the filter.

Where are the auto. trans. filter and drain plug located?
Some cars do not have a drain plug or even a dip stick to check the oil level. There should be an oil pan on the bottom of the unit and clearly visible from under the car. You may have a car with a sealed transmission. You better check the service manual and find out. Or, call the dealer and ask the service desk.

Changed head gasket, and now there is a litle water coming out of the exaust ?
2.0L twin cam USA or the other 6 engines used world wide?is this your first car? all cars produce water and steam cold.(a normal product of gas combustion is H2O or water)but...if that water is green (antifreeze color) then you did the service wrong.1: head gaskets usually fail because they are a victim.!(have proof of that)did you check the head for warping and the engine deck too>?as the book for car (allcars) tells you ? to do and how.with steel rule and feller gauge?2: did you get the machine shop to pressure check the head.? (that's the pro shop place that rebuilds them)ice damage, freeze plugs(so called) and checked out fully.if not, most cars fail again. did you know there are other places for coolant to reach the head ports?the induction system. some cars have water heated ISC valves that can leak. (or ice damaged) (no engine stated, so I can't wax too savvy here)or the intake manifold water path leaking, (or ice damage there)you didn't post country or state, so if say in South Florida? there is no icing, but in Alaska, endless...why do that? not state where you live???? (not address, just state)are you running pure water ?or antifreeze at 50% in that car......??????i see lots of folks attempt that in Florida.here is a good book to review on topic.http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/automotive-technology-jack-erjavec/1100969794?ean=9781428311497read the pages on head work.lots of pitfalls, there.

Thermostat or water pump?
Sounds like a thermostat is being sticky. A water pump issue should cause the vehicle to over heat quickly while driving if it is not pumping.

Any idea on what might be the problem with my hydraulic clutch system (and what/how to fix)?
Hi,if you are loosing clutch flued the most likely place is the slave cylinder as you have already replaced the master cylinder,its proberly leaking inside so you cant see it.
I mean all you have is one slave cylinder atached to a pipe wich attaches to the slave cylinder so if theres a leak it has to be from one of these parts.
let me know when you find out,all the best.

Suzuki forenza wont even fire or turn over! Headlights and radio work fine just wont start and is new battery!
This procedure usually works:
·Check the battery cable connections:
Make sure the positive cable, makes a good connection at the battery and at the starter. Make sure the negative cable makes a good ground connection at the battery and (preferably) at the engine.
·Check the battery the simple way, like this:
Turn on the headlights, then try to start the car.If the headlights do not dim or go out, then the battery is likely ok.
·Check the starter and solenoid:
If the wiring looks ok, then look at the starter solenoid for a good connection, and proper voltage at the starter(10 volts minimum while cranking).
If the starter spins and no crank, the problem is most likely the Solenoid's bendix gear is stuck.
Have someone hit (not too hard) the starter while you try to start the car. This usually works by dislodging a stuck bendix gear.
·Make a simple test of the alternator:
If you can, somehow get the engine running, measure the voltage at the battery. It should be at least 13.6 volts to properly charge the battery.

Jerky acceleration and check engine light on
When the light comes on, one or more diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) are
stored in the engine control module. These DTCs remain even if the light
goes out. To address a Check Engine Light problem, the DTCs are
retrieved and the appropriate troubleshooting information is followed in
order to determine the problem.Scanned the computer car to know faul codes stored there.Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important
and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some
testimonial comment about this answer.Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.
