so has anyone ever heard of a t5 popping INTO gear?
Today I went to my local video game store to buy burnout 3(I have major homework and wanted something to help me relax over the weekend) I get into my 89 gt vert 5spd and start her up. I backed out of my parking spot and heard a squeeling noise. Not like a belt, but more like a bearing. So I put it in first and moved forward to see if it was the tranny, but the noise was still there. SO i put the thing in neutral, got out and popped the hood. I couldnt tell where the noise was coming from so I shut the hood to get back into my car. As soon as the hood shut the car started moving forward... I kinda panicked and jumped through the window to yank the gear shifter into neutral, right when I got my hand on the shifter the car hit the curb in front of the store, which made me fly out of the window, and in doing so I yanked the selector to 2nd
Anyway, anyone ever heard of a t5 suddenly going into gear? I can't figure out how it is possible, but it is!!! Really bad bad day....
Oh, also if anyone has any legal knowledge those concrete stops they put in the parking spots to stop you, the spot i drove through was the ONLY one missing this... do I have any kind of recourse I can take for this vital car stopper missing? Thanks guys... hope you had a better day than I did
