<------ my car being towed. i would post some full size pics but my computer freezes every time i try and have photobucket host them.

i either blew a clutch line or my slave cylinder. the clutch wont disengage the transmission, and there is no pressure on the pedal. oh yea...there is also fluid all over the top of my transmission.

this is how my day started yesterday...looks fun doesnt it?

yup one year parts and labor...thank god!! im hoping it is just a clutch line and not the slave cylinder, cause i dont want them to pull the tranny again. i cant stand to be without my car for that long.

I visited the car again this last Friday after work - they took all my pictures and will add them to their site shortly with their own... they are havin a few problems with my new fuel door, they think they will need to drop my tank and remove my exhaust to get er in there good..

the doors are on Plan B at the moment.. he wasn't happy with how they were sealing on the bottom with his welding.. Thats why I love this shop.. they either do it the right way from the beginning or they will keep doing it at their expense until its perfect.. they will not allow something shotty to leave their shop.. he's a damn perfectionist and thats what this project needs! :)

Good Luck with your Tranny.. keep me updated.

this just in(no pun intended)...

i blew a line and not the slave cylinder(whew) they are supposed to get a new line in tomorrow, but with the ice storm it might not come in. oh well. when they get the new line in they have to figure out what caused the line to blow in the first place.

oh great now they cant locate this line for me. this is the second time they cant find a part for me (first being the clutch), is it just me or are these people morons? or is it actually that hard to find parts?

Or a little bit of both. That is kinda weird that they say they will have the part tomorrow and now they cant find it.

That kind of stuff just pisses me off. If a shop says that they can get a part, get the part. Just don't say you can to get some buisness.

Kick um in the junk.
