A while ago i was driving to my aunts house and missed the turn so i of course slowed down, stopped, then tried going again but the car stalled as if i popped the clutch. Problem is it was super slippery (as it always is in northern MN) so i couldn't have cause my tires would have spun. So i tried tightening the clutch cable just a little bit more just in case..didn't help. So I took it out of gear and went to the nearest house and asked him if he could move me off the highway. Well when he started dragging me i saw that my drivers side tire was spinning backwards... I didn't look at the passanger side when it did it cause i figured i was still in gear. Well it was in 3rd gear but i could have sworn i left it in Neutral. I turned back on the car (still while be dragged cause i was on ice it didn't matter if my car was fighting or not) and pulled it out of 3rd. I could hear a rattling in the tranny, which i figured was just a chuck of the release bearing or something.
well my dad came and tried dragging me in his s10 but we didn't get half out of this dudes driveway before i gave up. I tried just keeping the clutch held and constantly checked to see if it was in "neutral". The stick always said it was in N but the tires said differently. so i just had the car towed back to my garage. I got the tranny out figuring that my clutch was a gonner. But the disk looks like the new on but a little glazed. Just about the same thickness. The fingeres on the pressure plate have a copper ring were the release bearing is but nothing bent. I can't figure if putting in a new clutch kit is going to fix it or not. the car only has 128,000 miles on it, my old tranny from my hb had 231,000 and still works great. I've been hearing that my tranny is most likly shot, so i've been considereing going to get my old tranny but it's under a meter of snow (0.000568 a mile of snow). any guesses?
