I thought I found a random DSM bolt on my grass where my car was parked.

HOLY SHIT I LOVE YOU!!!, problem solved for now:) :cool:

I STRONGLY suggest dropping the tcase and checking the I beleive 12mm bolt in the back that holds the tranny on. Might be able to feel it from up top, put your hand near the starter... feel for a loose bolt or a hole on the block's "ear". Just putting the front bolt back in and not checking that rear one could cause problems again as the tranny isn't properly tightened against the block.

No need for love, just giving a helping hand:)

^ I will check it out.

And NICE, Im driving my buddy to work today and my brakes fail :rolleyes:. I got home braking with the e-brake and found brake fluid sprayed all over the passenger wheel well...FUCK OFF

My 1st gear is near impossible to get into now, Im looking into it...It doesnt make a grinding noise...its like LOUDER (I cant really describe it).

Ohh Im STOKED!

Dedicated my whole day..yet again to Dizz. Found the shift linkage had alot of play, so I added a washer on eachone with the cotter pin and it has no play now. I also added more Tranny fluid and EVERY BELL HOUSING BOLT NEEDED TO BE TIGHTENED ALOT!!! and It shifts good now!!!. It only used to grind going into reverse but now I have it back, Oh ya :cool:. Its shifting real nice and Im damn happy. I fixed a bunch of little things too as well.

I found the brake line actually has a big crack in it so fluid just sprayes out of it everytime I hit the brakes. I need to get money so I need a new line. I tried taking one off my FWD parts car but they are clearly different.

Im happy right now at Dizz for once :)

Your one lucky puppy. When that rear tranny bolt comes out it will usually cause the front ear to snap off the block if the front bolt remains tight.

I had the top of my tranny's ear crack.

You're damn lucky if you've been driving it for a while and have no cracked tranny or block.

Good to hear its shifting / driving good now.

How do you get pulled over for no insurance?? How can they even know till AFTER you get stopped. Anyways, I love your threads, they make me feel better about my life haha. Good luck man. Get the car out ASAP or just sign it over cuz impound is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

No I told them flatbed, haha Im not that stupid.

I got my insurance straight and my wonderful mother gave me 100 bucks to get it out of the yard today. Wow that was a scare/retarded.

I dont know what happened to all my luck, it all started to go downhill last winter when I started to build my now fallen DSM. Since then...maybe a few good and fun days and all the rest suck.
