Nooooo. What happened?

Bummer my man..whats the problem?

You and your LED fetish

But all jokes aside..what happened?

The tranny gave out?


Though, on the bright side, atleast it was easier to load it up since you haven't installed the coilovers yet.

^ Ding ding ding. Tranny gave out, hard. Within about 3 days it went from 5th gear popping out, to a noise when the clutch is engaged neutral or in gear, then it was very hard to get into any gear, then extremely hard to even get it out of gear, more louder noises (this is all over a 3 day period), and a big "BOOM" today which is when it wouldn't move. At all. I couldn't even push it in neutral. I could get into the gears with a lot of force, but when I tried to engage the clutch i could feel it catching but the car just wouldn't move anywhere.

It's on a flatbed now and will be taken to the dealership tomorrow to get a new transmission. I was told it was from a wrecked car with only 8x,xxx miles. Hopefully this one doesn't suck. lol

So in the downtime since I'm on spring break, I bought Forza 4 to easy my pain...


But seriously, this is gay.

I knew it would be that since you were complaining about the tranny issues to me on Facebook. My trusty "Auto-tragic" is still kicking, for now.

Well thank you for the support.

I already miss the car. I'll have it back soon though, with a tranny with 100k less miles on it.
I think it's $1200 for the transmission with 80-something thousand miles, with a 3 year dealership warranty.

It's 3 years or 36,000 miles. I'm pretty sure I'll hit 36000 miles first, but that's still a long *** time for a tranny warranty.

So your car is back in working condition??
