My dsm is broken.
Today on the way home i was driving and made a quick pull on a straight, and kinda grinded the 2-3 shift.
I slowed down after that and came up to some traffic at a light, light turns green, and i cant get it into first. "WTF???" so i throw on the hazards and make sure the clutch is all the way pushed down and slam it into gear. i manage to get on the highway thinking that its just a little hot from the pull and mis-shift, then come up on some more traffic and notice the same thing happening, but when i put it into gear with the clutch all the way to the floor and its still trying to pull. i manage to make it to a 7-11 and park it. scratch my head for a bit and call chris (s2kracka) and Craig (blizzard), both of them say the same thing "Master cylinder needs to be adjusted" so i go into the store and see if they have a pliers (later finding that the only thing needed was a freakin 12mm as i did not see the lock bolt) They do not have a pliers, so i ask every store around there and none of them have one.
I finally decide to try and limp it home, I pull out of the parking lot, go into first, second, third.... umm... wheres third, there is instantly no play in third, i quickly shift back to second and pull into the next parking lot, just happens to be a place that is like walmart. i start to pull around to park and get half way into the U turn for the next row and the shifter locks in neutral. ARE YOU EFFIN KIDDING ME?!?!? i get out and push my car back into a parking spot. i call chris and he tells me it might be something with the tranny. So i try and wiggle the shifter free and finally it goes into what i thought was first.
I go into the store and purchase a pliers (still not realising there is a lock nut) and try and turn the master cylinder adjustment shaft. Doesnt want to turn too much. so i get about halfway of a turn, and try it. Start the car, shift into what i thought was first and the car dies.... umm thats no good. So after that i just say f it im calling a tow truck,
Finally get someone to come out and tow the car home, we get home and i tell him to just pull the car in front of the garage and ill push it in.
Turns out the car has decided that 3rd was the gear it wanted so stay in, so looks like shes not moving anywhere.
I try and rev up and drive but everytime i try the car just dies. BAH.
So im currently parked in a red zone 12 feet from my garage and i just stare at what i have in my garage and my non moving car. There is absolutly nothing that is gonna make this car move.
after looking over my options i finally decide the only option i have is to unhook one of the driveshafts and roll it in. What a bitch (not really actually) that was to do. SO im tired, hungary, and so fed up with my car that im ready to burst, but now i have to push the car up hill to get a running start and the short incline to the garage, mind you i am doing this alone. I push the white whale and manage to get into the garage.
BAH WTF i am really starting to hate these cars being broke all the time.
So instead of going to work tomorrow, im going to be in the garage pulling the tranny to see if anything doesnt look right. We shall see.
