hey so I'd fix that tranny before it leaves you stranded...

unless you like to play the damsel in distress...

:eek:

damsel in distress never worked for me... from my experience, damsel in distress costs me more money[>:]


so I called my mobile mechanic chinese dude and he said it had something to do with the tranny not being able to detect the brake sensor. Im no grease monkey but I kinda understand the gist of it. In addition to my tranny not knowing that my brake is being depressed, apparently my tail lights didnt know either (and my tail lights werent coming on when im braking).

Anyway we got that fixed. He charged me a little over $100.

actually it's more likely that you have the dreaded 6th gen tranny problems.... it's bound to happen to like 90% of 6th gens. if i recall, it was gears 1/2 that would burn out due to overheating.

the solution is a new transmission if this is the case.

search around on the forums, you'll find evidence of this trend pretty clearly i believe.

Nah....does it strike 4 bangers for 6th gen? I thought it was the v6 that was more susceptible.
