Yup chopped it up, and palced it in my Long Island Iced Tea.

j/k, do you have proof that all those items are shot? And you paid $600 for what?

How do you know if the transmission is shot... if your clutch is bad.

Might just be the clutch.

If you bought your car from a dealer, Connecticut might have a "lemon law".

There are things you need to do. Otherwise its just bad luck

Change your slave cylinder. And check the clutch fluid. Sounds like you just have a bad slave cylinder or a clutch hydraulic system failure which is making it hard for you to shift into gear.

You can do this yourself. Get a chilton's manual or something and the slave cylinder is 25-35 dollars at any auto store.

My car wasnt a full lemond but it was a tall glass of lemonade.

I bought it from the dealer, the main thing that saved my and my Max's sweet 96 ass was the fact that I had a check engine light and its illegal for a dealer to sell you a car that wont pass emission, with this I threatened them and got my axle, KS, Crank ref (one of those bastards), clutch, and speedo fixed for free was about a $2k job.

I'd get a big list of everything wrong before you start (or in this case continue payign) and then present that to them and see about getting them to repair it all.

I bought my 1996 Maxima for $4200. The guy said he did kept it up to date with repairs and stuff. Oh boy was he wrong! I brought it to the dealer about a month after I got it for a tune up/safety check and dumped $2000 into the piece. New pads, rotors, calipers, ball joints, tie rods, lube jobs, yada yada yada...

Must be something with people from CT?

I can say my Max is running very well right now. And I think it's funny when my friends car's won't start. And I can still spank them when I'm getting my groceries. HAHA
