So I've been gone from the forums for a while (which wasn't a bad thing since as you all know we spend way to much time here) because my new house was finally built and I moved in. It had taken me a since april to sell my condo and have this house built. The time actually flew by and I finally get to do all the man things I haven't been able to do at the condo... I.E. car stuff. Now onto the bad......
My brother came up about 3 weeks ago, about a week before moving into the house, and I drove to my folks house to suprise him and my mum who weren't expecting me. I was there maybe an hour before my brother skanked my keys and tried to steal my car for a drive. I managed to jump in the back of the car with my dad in the from passenger side. I told him some simple rules such as not getting on it until 3k and not luanching it hard ( no diff mounts yet). Well we were on just a country road where he got it up to 120 mph when I preceded to start yelling at him to slow the F down.
He turn the car around and starts heading back towards my folks house. About 100 feet from the driveway we were going about 65ish he decides to throw it into second gear for some stupid ass reason and all I heard was a pop and the smell of clutch. He said the peddle went limp right down to the floor. I wanted to kill him, it's not like it was his first time driving, I would normally consider him a better driver than me too. He is after all the older brother.
Well with what tools I did have at my folks house I managed to do some work to see if I could fix the problem. I changed the slave cylnder, and bled the clutch with no gain.
Soooooo long story short my clutch and transmission are shot. I'm not sure what the hell he did to my baby since I was sitting in the back, so I have to take his word for it. It's been at a mechanic up in Backwoodsville with some guy named "Cliff" who my parents say does good work. I have no idea what shape she's gonna come back in. To make matter worse I had just gotten my AP two days earlier....just my luck. I finally get into my house but I've got no car to enjoy putting in my garage. At least I don't have to pay for all the work....
