I now have TWO dead DSMs.
Laser...well, the throw out bearing was on its way out. Had to drive it to court today for a pre-trial, because nobody wanted to take me. Gave its last hoorah in the parking garage, had to pay $50 to get it towed back here. GRRRRRRRRR!  I hope trying to get it started again just to limp it home didn't ruin the clutch too, because it sounds BAD right now.1.8 I believe has a dead clutch. Just bounces off the gears unless I slideshift, and as soon as I let go off the clutch, it won't rev AT ALL. No matter how much gas I give it, it just sits at nuetral. Is this a clutch problem? I am thinking it is, since it needed replaced anyways. God I am not looking forward to dropping TWO trannies. |

My 1.8 Eclipse is a reliable car, never had a problem with it before. Clutch just decided to FINALLY shit at exactly the wrong time. |

Yeah, my daily driver is my speed demon, too. I just can't wait for something to go "snap!" on my way to work one of these days. At least the wife has a reliable Honda for a backup.
