Celica:
So as most of everyone knows my transmission in the celica is leaking. So i've been without my celi for over a week. She's currently in a tranny shop hopefully getting fixed. Don't know when i'll have it back. Prob another week.

Jeep:
Yesterday I stopped on my way up to work and my Jeep decided not to start. So I called the place where my grandfather got it which was only 5 miles away. They came and towed the car to their shop. Since they are clients of ours they are usually very good about getting things done. They figured out that the starter was bad, installed a new one and I had the car back in time to go home.

I drove all over after work and made at least 4 stops. The car was fine.

This morning I'm on my way to work and about 25 min away I'm at a stop light my RPMs go all the way down the alternator gage goes down and the car dies. So i put the Jeep in park and turn the key and it starts. So i' like wtf was that. I call the Service center where it was yesterday. They said if it happens again to call. So 5 more min of driving and the car starts to act weird. RPMs were all over and i couldn't go above 40 then 30 then the car was bucking and i heard a knocking noise. So i call the service guys. They said to get the car to them. Fine, great. 15 min. So I'm going up a major road where i have to merge to get on the Mid-Hudson Bridge to go to work. Of course my car decides to buck and go only 20 mph. It did that for about 5 min then it was ok. Then it would only go 40... then it was fine. I got to the service place and the owner drove me to my office (2 min away) in my Jeep so he could see the problem. Of course it drove totally fine for him.



So basically i own two pieces of **** on wheels.

mad.gif Anger doesn't even begin to describe how i feel right now.

ps: excuse the spelling and/or sentence structure I was rushing.

Celica tranny came from Dan (Plyr158)

The place just called and said they can't find anything wrong with the jeep and they think that there is water in my gas tank so they are putting dry gas in. They also said to use a higher octane (i use 91 or 89 already). The gas tank wasn't on E. It was two lines before E.

I just don't really want to deal with any more car problems right now.

What is it with 6gc members sending you damaged parts? Between the tranny and your projectors, you certainly have gotten the shaft from the community.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
