Just filled up my tank with 91 octane after driving home from work... while leaving the gas station, I gassed it and hear.. "CLUNK, CLUNK, CLUNK"....and my car stalls....even after I gassed it lightly.
This can't be good...  My babies in pain... I feel like crying...seriously... Anyways... I think it's the transmission. I have auto and my car has about 187K on it. I also noticed that my left strut isn't bouncy like the right one. I'm not sure if this is related or not. And when I pushed the car (out of moving traffic) it makes a Clunk every revolution. I towed it to my mechanics, and I'm gonna see how much this is gonna cost me. Thanks for listening to my problems. |

QUOTE(defgeph @ Dec 7, 2005 - 10:06 AM) [snapback]364391[/snapback] your car should'nt have a clutch, its auto ? actually, autos do have clutches, auto clutches they are used in conjuction with the bands to lock/unlock certain parts of the planetary gearset to allow different gear ratios. obviously these werent what the mechanic was talking about since he thought it was a manual. the clutches in auto's do wear out obviously over time and can fail, especially if you drive agressively because the auto's computer will signal tranny to make harder/quicker shifts. i honestly dont know whats wrong with your car though without looking at it. hope you get it rolling soon though. --------------------  I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. |
