Sigh, ive been having a streak of bad luck with my car lately. Been dealing with a misfire (maybe) issue lately which you can read more about here if ya like
Long story short car has been hesitant and riding rough, kinda like a misfire/shake in lower rpms, especially noticeable when it shifts up in gear and is under load. After 2500rpms it smooths out.
Well I changed the ignition coils as recommended by a mechanic and was out for a test drive today. I was at a red light and when it changed to green I gave it gas and the car stood still. I shifted to park and through R, N, and D a few times and finally it went into gear and I was able to get it out of the busy intersection to the nearest lot. Had it towed home shortly thereafter. When I did pull it into the lot it was making a kind of grinding/whirring/scraping sound but very subtley. It shifts into drive and half the time it will engage while the other half it will not move at all.
I checked underneath right when I got into the lot and did not see any fluid leak. No check engine lights or anything. Gonna take it to a mechanic on monday and see what they find, I am preparing myself and bringing a bottle of anal lube :crybaby::crying2: bc I feel this will not be an easy, cheap fix.....thoughts?
