I was at a stop light earlier today and started goin and next thing I kno I hear a big thump and my engine jus starts revving. after that I cant go faster than 35 mph. It has happened before and I got it all fixed up by some professional transmission place. I still got a warranty so they're gonna fix it up agian. but im afraid it'll happen again!
Im now debating on sellin my maxi after I get it fixed but I really dont want to because of all the work ive been doin on it. tell ya the truth it looks great and ran great. Jus.... scared of the transmission 
Im jus wondering if it'll happen again since I need a car to go off to college. and I really dont want to risk my car jumping off the gear when im far from home.
any advice or anything to say to keep my tranny from messing up??
It wont go pass 2nd gear!!!  |
the only way to fix a problem that major is to get that shop to repair it under warranty.... transmissions don't just THUMP and keep on working... they don't take a lickin' and keep on tickin' like Timex watch, sadly.
i had a total tranny failure in february. I was coming up
this ramp [link] and just as the ramp started to straighten out and flow into traffic, i picked up the throttle to get up to speed, it went straight to redline and that was that. Done. So you're gonna need to get yours fixed before that happens. At least yours gave you warning... mine gave me NONE.
