What I'm doing this semester in Compass is learning about mechanics. This is a job that I'm interested in and might want to do when I'm older. I have always wanted to work on trucks and other vehicles. I've been doing research on this for a while now and I decided to do my first project on small engine mechanics. I wanted to do something with my four wheeler because I needed to replace some things anyway. I decided to replace my electric shifter because whenever I would go into reverse it wouldn't shift back into gear and it would have a hard time shifting up and back down. To fix this I had to order the new part and get all the tools that I needed for this job. The first thing that I did was take the plastics off. After that I had to start to unscrew the bolts that held the shifter on. After that I had to pull it off and make sure that I didn't drop any of the gears. When I got them all out I had to clean all the old grease and dirt off of them because that was what was stopping the gears from moving. After that I put the new shifter on and screwed the bolts back on. When I got all the parts back together it was fixed and worked perfectly. Next in Compass I want to do more projects about mechanics and do hands-on things. I want to do more projects like my last one where I can work on and fix four wheelers. I would also like to do more research about what mechanics do in more detail.
