Well it finally happened. My throw out bearing went out. I was going to fix it last week with the use of my grandfathers friends lift, and my grandfathers help. But he broke his arm. SO I let it run for a little while longer and it went out. I was leaving work yesterday, started my car and it sounded like a belt was slippijg. It has been there ever since. Im sure I COULD drive it back home, but Id rather pull it. Which is what im gonna do in about an hour. I should be getting around to fixing it tomm.
Ive been driving my moms '99 Grand Prix to school and back.That thing is SLOW.

Wow it seems when someones car breaks, another one gets fixed. Just about three hours ago I soldered me up a new charging cable and got my car running again. However, I still cant get it up... my window that is. Still sitting ouside with a Hefty on it. You'll have that bad boy up and on the street in no time. Hope everything goes smoothly.

Rear main, clutch, and press plate were all changed with in the year. Im should be able to do it tonight after school.

Question. Last night when I brought it home, I drove it. Its nt far at all. But when I started the car, it was screaming, then once it would get above about 1500RPM it would stop making noise. I though it would get worse.

That does make sense that with higher RPM it will get quieter.

You going to use the ford replacement?
