Ok people -- so heres the story:
about 6 months ago i changed my clutch for one i bought from autozone, and drained the tranny fluid out and put in synthetic fluid all bought from autozone (mobil 1 synth. ATF fluid - Dexron III)
anyway, I then went and took the car for a drive and found i couldnt shift while the engine was running. i would push the pedal in, but the car wouldnt shift out of gear. i couldnt understand it at all.
well after taking the whole thing apart and replacing the throwout bearing and putting it back together and still having the same problem, i managed to get it to shift up to third. -- i drove it home and worked on it there fiddling with stuff..eventually got it to shift hard if i forced it. after a week it went away, and i could shift normally.
well -- around two/three weeks ago someone pissed me off and i thot i would give them a "free rubber coating" for their hood. took the car to 5500, dropped the gas and let off the clutch only to hear the engine rev, feel the tires NOT MOVE and smell the worst smell in the world -- burning clutch. i knew at that point my clutch was fragged so i went to get another one. was going to get a replacement from Autozone, only to forget to order it and have to get one from NAPA instead (maybe this would solve the problem?) -- got that clutch put on and everything, and now im experiencing the same problem as before. car will not shift while engine is running. WTF!
i need some help here people. to date i hvae replaced : clutch / ATF fluid from synth -> regular (on the off chance that was what caused it) / whole hydraulic system (in case it was worn out).
need some suggestions cause this is costing me money i dont have. any ideas?
thanks.
