car trouble
The past month or so, I noticed that I was having trouble getting my car into first gear. I'd stall out about once or twice a week. I didn't think much of it-- I just thought I was losing my touch and getting older, that it was a user error. Hmm. Maybe I should buy an automatic next time, I thought.
Last week, it was very difficult to get my car to go. I had to flood it out with gas and peel out, or I wouldn't go at all. Again, thought it might just be user error.
Coming home from Dallas, my car slipped out of gear when I was going 85 mph. More than once. It didn't do it again, so I thought it was just a freak occurance.
Today, I tried to get on the highway to go to the dealership and a horrendous rattling noise caused me to stick to the side roads. Not user error. Definitely not user error. This rattling would come and go, and sometimes putting the clutch in would help, other times, no, it wouldn't change it. For a mile or two, it ran just fine....
I thought it was a clutch problem, but the serviceman said that it was probably a transmission problem.
Uh OH!
I think the transmission on my car passed away today. At 4,300 miles.
that's right: four thousand three hundred miles.
I hope this gets fixed posthaste, and that I don't have to take it in so many times to get it permanently fixed. Who wants to drive an unreliable car for that much money per month?
