In the latter case the donor provides the family's name and address to the charity at the time the gift is made. Even if you don't make a gift, a note or card to the deceased's family expressing your thoughts of the deceased is a welcome gesture, especially if you weren't able to attend the funeral.
If the pedal is still mushy or slowly sinks under pressure, with the outlet ports blocked, the master cylinder is bad. With the ports plugged, if the brake pedal is very high and firm, the problem is not with the cylinder.
Drive the vehicle, making numerous stops and accelerations. If you hear a constant whining noise, accompanied by a slip in the gears as the transmission automatically shifts, it points to low transmission fluids. Without the proper fluid level, the pump has to push air through the transmission, which causes the noise and produces the hesitation or slippage. Any leaks on the ground will confirm a loss of transmission fluid. Sit in the vehicle with the engine idling and the shifter in park or neutral. Keep your foot off the brake pedal. Push the accelerator pedal, gently raising the engine rpm. If you notice a humming noise that increases in intensity as the engine rises in speed, it points to a malfunctioning transmission pump or pump shaft. Since the gear train has not been engaged in drive, it rules out all the other components.
