That can happen from internal wear or sticking components, and it can make the car behave as if it’s still engaged even when the shifter is in neutral.","simplifiedExplanation":"If the transmission can’t fully disengage, it may act like it’s still in gear even when the shifter is in neutral. That can cause shifting problems and odd driving behavior."}},{"startTime":793.5,"endTime":808.7,"type":"concept","title":"leak-free","url":"/glossary/leak-free","quote":"And what really upset me more than anything is I worked really diligently on a couple of these recent builds\nTo make them as leak-free as possible, which old stuff, that's a challenge\nAnd thankfully, I was playing with 80s-ish, late 70s, early 80s stuff","canonicalId":"concept:leak-free","priority":0.35,"confidence":0.7,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-5.4-nano","data":{"explanation":"“Leak-free” work in builds means ensuring fluids don’t escape from seals and joints after assembly. On older vehicles, achieving this often requires careful cleaning, correct gasket installation, and attention to how parts mate together.","simplifiedExplanation":"“Leak-free” means you’re trying to stop oil or other fluids from seeping out. It usually takes careful reassembly and new seals so everything seals properly."}},{"startTime":849.6,"endTime":856.0,"type":"term","title":"gasket kit","url":"/glossary/gasket-kit","quote":"And so then it takes us, you know, a whole new gasket kit\nAnd having to clean surfaces, mating surfaces again\nAnd do significant due diligence to make sure that you're resetting yourself at zero all over","canonicalId":"term:gasket-kit","priority":0.6,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-5.4-nano","data":{"explanation":"A gasket kit is a set of replacement gaskets used when reassembling an engine or transmission to restore sealing.
