I'm coming home from A/C today and as soon as I pull off the highway it was as if something started grinding away at my gears. I pushed the clutch in and it slowed the grinding some but no completely. If I let off the clutch, it's the worse grinding sound I could ever hear coming from a manual car. I cannot shift into any other gear except 1st and it still grinds.
Here's the sad news to this story. I just replaced the transmission less than 2 months ago. Total cost was like $2000. WTF did they do for $2000 that would last only 2 months? I swear there's something new wrong with my car everyday that I drive it. I don't have this much black voodoo with my 95 ATX. I've had this car since March of this year and have only been able to drive it for like 2 weeks total time since I've had the car. Everyday, I'm at the mechanic getting something fixed with this car. Just 2 weeks ago, the starter went on the car. Then the battery. Now the alternator. And now, the car isn't drivable again due to the transmission.
Let this be a warning to all who believe what they read on ebay about cars that are supposed to be in execellent shape and good running condition. I won't go back into what happened to me. But just be warned. What you see and read on ebay about a car may not be what your actually getting. This should be posted on every ebay ad that includes sales over $2000. My total bill for this car thus far, has been well over $6000. That's just the $3000 I paid for this heap of metal and other work including a rebuilt transmission. The car is still not in execellent condition nor is it in good running condition. Feel free to jump all over me now. A sucker is born every minute. But it's ok, I learn from my mistakes and I will never be taken for so much money on any used car again.
End of sad story.
P.S. after I get 6 hours of sleep, I'm taking this car back to the place that charged me $2000 for a transmission. This should be covered under the warranty.
