Blew 4th towing the boat
Blew 4th towing the boat
send the slams HERE
It goes into 4th no problem but, dosen't want to come out, (clutch floored, pumped, floored, banging the stick) unless I turn the car off then, it comes right out.
All the other gears work fine,.....I just rev 3rd & by-pass 4 into 5th.
I've been towing about 2k of boat & trailer in 4th always, 58-64mph, 2800-3200, if I hesitate about the ramp, I flag down the valet tractor & tip a 5 spot, (a good burn out is good,.....on the boat ramp),......
I had ZERO problems with anything, no hints, sounds, twisting, cracks, etc,.......(I always joked the clutch would go),......but, had no problems, hints it was not liking it, I was easy, had beer, loud tunes, t-tops off, I'd get there in time,.....
The concensus is that it was the boat though, I drove 2 weeks without towing before out of nowhere I couldn't get out of 4th,....(I pulled over & turned the car off ready for the walk home & out of habit, put it in noodle to set the brake & realized,.......it's out of gear now,..... :hail: )
Any ideas on how bad I sit?,.......
(a beater truck I would depened to take the "little happy family" in, $2k+, would've been no problem,......just no "first" boat for the past 2 years & the memories that came with it).
