not a very good weekend

Post by **freakonaleash1187** » Sun Oct 03, 2004 8:10 am

it all started friday night. i was on my way home from my football game that we had just won. i was hurrying to get home and take a shower so i could go hang out with my friends. i was on the street that my house is on and a cop pulls me over and i get a ticket for 40 in a 25. damn.

then last night (saturday), i was driving around with my friend and something snaps and my clutch pedal goes all the way to the floor and doesn't come back out. so i am stuck in 4th gear and i slam it into neutral so i can stop, well, i look and i am in a turn lane with a few cars sitting behind me, so i slam it into 1st and go park in a parking lot. well, took of the fork and a couple of bolts come out with it that are broken. F**K. so tomorrow it is going into a transmission shop.

while it was sitting outside my house (tow truck didn't want to put it in my garage) somebody shot paintballs at it and damaged the paint. now i have to file a police report for that to get my insurance to fix that. i will post pictures of that in a little bit.

as you can see, i have had one of the crappiest weekends of my life.

That is one bad weekend!

Whats the word on your clutch?

well, i am going to tow it to a shop tomorrow, the way it looks like is the transmission has to be dropped to get to it. looks like something broke inside the transmission. i would want to do it myself, but i have no time to be dropping a transmission and everything.

If you get it off real good it won't mess up your paint. If it's been setting in the sun though then it could be bad.

i washed it all off, the only thing wrong is the one on the hatch left a very very light greenish stain, but it is on top of the paint and should buff out. i am just glad none of them broke the paint or dented the body. even though there really wasn't any damage, it still pisses me off that somebody would even think of doing such a thing, let alone do such a thing.

First off tell me where you live so i can kill them, and i feel your pain. Sadly i have to park my car out on the street so i feel the fear of being messed with everyday. Thankfully the worst thats happened is someone wrote their name in the morning dew but thats it. Im sorry man, tell me how that transmission problem goes

welp, the transmission shop i took my car called me today. they told me that the whole transmission will have to be dropped, i will need a new slave cylinder, clutch fork, and the clutch fork ball thingy. then they said that i will most likey have to replace my clutch, and i said might as well, i have 135k miles on the clutch in there.

he gave me an estimate of $775 for replacing the clutch, clutch fork, clutch fork ball thingy, slave cylinder, and resurfacing my flywheel. they said they won't be able to start it until thursday, so i probably won't have my car back until next week. oh well, she will have a new clutch.

Sounds like a pretty good price as well. Are they a good shop? I'm guessing that they are cause thats where oyu took your Z, and they are a transmition place.

Good Luck and keep us posted.

they should be a good shop becuase they sponsor the club i am in (heart of america z car club) and a lot of z guys use that shop, plus, i get a $100 discount!!!

You should get more of your club members on Nico!

nope, never did find out who it was. and of course, the cops aren't really trying to help me because i am just a "punk kid" with a sports car.

Aww. Man I'm sorry. Your car is one of my favorite from the site. I hope you get some better cooperation from the cops.
