Ok so the last three weeks have been hell.
Three weeks ago i made a quick pull to see how my car was doing with the new turbo, and when i backed off of it (after slightly grinding the 2-3 shift, i hit some traffic so i slowed down, and when i went to shift from neutral to first it wouldnt go into gear, when i finally just slammed it into gear the car started trying to pull forward as if the clutch wasnt fully disengaged, well being my stupid self i kept driving and made it almost all the way home slamming it into every gear. finally i pulled into a 7/11 parking lot and went inside to see if they had a pliers to adjust my clutch. They didnt. So i made the worst decision of my life, i decided to drive it to another place along the road that may have something i could use.
I pulled out onto the road and again slammed it into gear, and right away, bam no third gear. i quickly put it back into second and pull into big lots. and all of the sudden, no gears period, the shifter wont move.
i push the car back into a parking spot and get it towed home.
Well i took out the tranny after a week of the car sitting in the garage and send it out to a shop to get it fixed. They do that and i get it back, Install it, and it goes into gears and out of gears just fine while on jackstands.
But when i press on the brake while the clutch is all the way down i hear a loud grind and the car wants to die. So basically im back to the initial problem of the clutch not fully disengaging.
Yesterday i replaced the clutch disk which was fried, (requred taking the tranny off and putting it on for the second time in 4 days) i put the tranny back on thinking that i may have found the solution. but no SAME PROBLEM. (at this point im ready to kill someone).
So we head to a 24 hour Autozone that happens to have the clutch slave cylinder, i replace that at 12:30 am (at this point i have been working on my car for a straight 15 hours with no breaks except to go buy parts), the clutch slave cylinder does not correct the problem.
No more, i say, no more. Im taking the freakin car to a shop very soon, im sick of pulling that tranny to replace parts that arent gonna fix the problem. Someone shoot me please.
