Really happy to see people accepting "y'all" lol, It just makes so much sense!

Definitely lubricate just to be safe but also check the battery as kidd is right this is the season.

Do you have a multimeter? If not, harbor freight had them for iirc $8.99 last year, usually don't recommend them but it's been a good little backup

You are correct, battery problems are rampant this time of year, just not hearing it in this video but, being from canola land I'm guessing you've probably dealt with plenty of cold weather related battery issues

Is that for movies, images or what? Either way it's interesting

I do the "wrong song" as well! Been a habit of mine for decades. Some songs from say the 90's, I don't even know the actual lyrics for anymore, just what I made up

Could be a few things, clutch fork bent but let's pray not.

Have you adjusted it? My mentor's rule of thumb is to adjust new clutches after they're broken in, he hits them a week or so later if possible. I'd recommend it and have seen it happen quite a few times.

Could be clogged or pinched hydraulic lines. Bleeding the slave cylinder would be a start with that.

Check your clutch pedal, anything bent, broken etc?

Will get back with more. Am not an expert on clutches btw have just replaced quite a few. Not pretending to be an expert

Really hope it's not the fork though, that will do this but you'd have to drop the trans to replace it.

Was thinking starter but (admittedly have poor quality on mobile) this makes sense too.

I agree with the above guy, kinda sounds like your starter is slow to disengage.

However I am listening on mobile/speaker and can't be sure, it almost sounds like a belt squeal on my phone and if if it weren't for the sequence of start - squeal I wouldn't guess starter lol.

Will listen later with headphones, but is it more of a squeal or grind?

Btw I've been busy and haven't checked the sub, saw where you shouted me out and it was heartwarming, thanks mi amigo

Also, ikidd's theory is plausible too, if you have a multimeter pop that bad boy on your battery and ensure it's above 12 while the engine is off. Then, since you mentioned you were worried about your alternator, start the engine back up and check the battery with the multimeter while running. You should see at least about 13 volts. You can also test the alternator directly, look it up and see how many amps it's supposed to be putting out then cross reference with what you have

Am actually super experienced in this. I've been the fart maker, I've been the manager, I've been the co-worker tolerating it. Here's what you do.

Call a team meeting, preferably with HR discussing behavior similar to this, without pinpointing fart jokes but close enough that the message gets across. Maybe say there have been anonymous complaints. Definitely do if possible this will come in handy later.

With step one done, here's how you deal. If at all possible, develop a bond with the guy, pretend to like the fart jokes. Maybe even make one or two yourself so he feels you're in this together.

Then, when you tell him to stop, blame HR.

"Haha! Oh, how I love our fart jokes mr.man, but we should lay off of them before HR calls us in!"

"Can't let you get fired over that, I need you here bud, not fired over a fart joke haha"

This typically has worked from what I've seen. When you make someone else, especially a company, the "big bad" and get people to feel like you're on their side/fighting for them they're typically more willing to bend a little bit.

I won't disagree on that and do see your point, 100% context for sure

We do have more context than it seems though, if someone tells me to show up to work at 7, I can assume it's a.m. If someone says they'll meet me at 12, it's going to be mid-day etc. If it's 7 and bright outside it's in the am, if it's 7 and dark it's p.m. It's not too tricky with context clues

But, being my own devil's advocate, you are right. No ambiguity in 24 hour time. I don't have an issue with 24 hour time, was raised on 12 hour so it's natural but 24 isn't bad either, and is more exact in some ways.

I do prefer 12 hours though, makes the day feel shorter like working two 4 hour shifts instead of a solid 8. Same time but one feels shorter so I apply that to most days. As another mentioned, working a 9-5 seems short when compared to working a 9-17 😂

If it were up to me though, A.M and P.M would be visible on every 12 hour clock, I do agree it's weird that some are made without it, sure it is easy to figure out whether a.m or p.m via context clues but having any ambiguity in a form of measurement seems odd, but making a dinner date for 7 and showing up at 7 a.m would be odd as well I guess, though not everything is so clear.

The context is the am/pm after

I hate when our wife says things like that
