I'm stumped.
The car pulled into the garage, and now (after welding the flares on) it won't move. The car shifts into gears just fine. It just doesn't move. It sounds like the trans is engaging, but won't move. No sounds at all. (grinding, etc) The clutch hasn't slipped at all recently...no nasty smells or squealing. Just nothing. I thought it may have been the U-joint bushings...so I swapped them out. Nothing. I took the cup off and manually put it in gear. Nothing. I spin one wheel, and the other doesn't move at all. I can't remember if it was like that before, but I'm thinking no. Could it be as simple as a broken pin somewhere? I got Dr. Evil's notes, and started reading...but the sections that I looked through didn't help much. The shitty part is that I'm a few weeks away from putting her to bed to start the Subaru conversion. I don't have the time/space/parts to work on that just yet...and don't want to spend time/$ working on something I was going to pull in a month. So I'm kinda sunk until further notice. Ideas? |

A 901 is OK for a V8 if driven properly. You must ease off the clutch in second gear to get going, then you can hammer on it. BTW, don't ever use 1st gear.
If you pop the clutch with lots of gas, you will break it!. If Renegade rebuilt it, it may have a flipped H gear in 5th position. Great for a V8. Standard 5th gear is way too low. |
