If you guessed Intrepid...you'd be...
Wrong. Not the Shadow either.
(both of those Dodge's transmissions shift fine, much to those who say DCX transmissions are crap)
It's...the Geo Prizm!
Yeah that's right, the one with "Toyota Quality"
Yesterday (which was freezing), I set off too school but first went to Shell to get gas. I pulled in and gassed up. Turne the car on and went to put it into 1st...and it wouldn't go. 2nd...no...3rd...no...4th...no...5th...that's be a "f@#k you asshole I don't feel like moving" no.
Eventually I managed to force it into 1st and I was off to school. i got to the lights at R110 in Lowell (by Consumer Auto Parts for those of you who know the area), and come to a red light. I go tp put it into first and...nothing. I had toput my hazards on and wave people past until I finally jammed it into gear. When I got out of class, I put it in reverse and it did so...butonce again I ouldn't go into any of the other gears. The best I could manage was to get it into 3rd...so i drove to the parts store (CAP) and got some clutch fluid. Added some until it was to the top...which didn't take much. t helped a little but today I still am having probles shifting.
What's strange is that when the car is off, I can move through teh gears just fine. But when it's on it gives me hell, and when I go to pull it out of gear it fights me a little. I also noticed the clutch seems to not have as much resistance as it normally does....I hae no idea what the problem is. The clutch was replaced back in July and the transmission was replaced in November. So...WTF?!
Damn Toyota "quality". Moving in reverse...
