My car

[hart]

I thought I suddenly forgot to drive a stick shift.:24: When Joe and I drive together he usually drives. We usually take his truck but this time we took my car. We took it for a good long drive and he started complaining about how it reved up a lot and wasn't accelerating right. I told him I had noticed that about a week ago off and on but kept thinking I was not driving well. He looked at me like I was crazy. As he should. I didn't suddenly forget to drive a clutch.:crazy:

I feel so stupid. He's going to take it into the dealer tomorrow or the next day. Sometimes I'm so blonde

It might not be you

 

[hart]

That's what I'm saying Porter, instead of realizing it was the car having mechanical problems, as I should have, I kept thinking I was driving wrong, which, since I have been driving a stick shift off and on since I was 16 years old in cars, motorcycles, etc, I wouldn't suddenly forget how. I feel so blonde at times....:tooth

 

[porterjack]

So it might be the car then?

 

[Francis]

I assume there was no clutching issues as I am sure you would have had other comments ? :tooth

Having said that I had a clutch finally slip real bad on me once going up a hill.. Was the worse feeling on the world.. :willy_nilly:

I knew it was shot and now had to replace it.. The engine would rev really high.. I would imagine that's what happened to yours..

 

[hart]

Yup it's revving really high when I shift gears. And it's especially noticable on hills. Wouldn't you know. I have about 4 payments left. Joe is off work the next two days so I'm driving the truck to work tomorrow. He can drive the motorcycle to work and/or the bike if need be for a while, worse case scenario. Damn, I hope it's nothing expensive we are trying to save every penny to get on the property before winter sets in :mad

It is the car
Get it checked

Have your nails done while you wait

 

[hart]

Heck with nails. If I was gonna have anything done it would be a nice massage

 

[porterjack]

I have seen movies where the blonde gets both kinds of lube jobs

Go for it

 

[Natasha]

That's pretty much what I was talking about in my "duh moments" thread. :24: Been there, done that, hon.

 

[Jackass master]

Clutch is most likely gone. If it is front wheel drive it is not an easy cheap fix. Expect to drop big bucks.

 

[AnitaBeer]

Timing, clutch, O2 sensor....could be a few different things, but it does sound more like your clutch is going.
Good thing he noticed so you can find out for sure.

 

[NoDak]

Clutch. Figure on a grand for a decent shop to fix it. Sorry for the good news!

 

[hart]

Well Joe is taking her into the dealer today. I'm driving the big Truck. I keep forgetting and putting my left foot on the brake and reaching my hand for the non-existent stick shift.:tooth But I feel high up in the sky today
