Fucking. Fuck. Am I going to have to start buying decent gas or is something else gumming shit up or somehow screwing with the EFI?

you are me

hello me

i doesnt understand

I don't understand, isn't drivetrain slack fairly normal for old cars? Unless you mean u-joints?

in the popular movie star wars the MC drives a ford pinto which when it is hit at 80 mph it goes into the past.

What does this mean

because it happens to me now and then and it's really frustrating

A pinto has an unhappy gas tank. If it was rear ended the gas tank liked to leak. Usually in a crash there are sparks so kaboom.

It was even more ridiculous than that.

There was a bolt in bumper area that was just a bit too long and rather than fix it they decided to wait for a refresh because it would cost like a $1/car to do it earlier

This happens to me all the time except when I let off the clutch my tranny grinds like a motherfucker

What are you supposed to do in this situation anyway?

Too slow for 2nd and can't shift into first until you come to a complete stop even thought traffic has begun moving

ffs this happened to me the other day, i had to have the car pushed and pop the clutch

...

>be at stoplight
>panic about taking to long to get going and irritating the people behind you
>accidentally rev to 3000 and dump the clutch

whats wrong with dumping the clutch? i did it all the time in my shitbox.

Me too, now I need a new clutch...

I normally give pop it into 2nd and give gas while slowly letting the clutch out like you would normally. You could probably take off in third if you don't stall it.

this

slip dat mafuggin clutch in second like it's my job. I never shift into first unless at a dead stop.

>put in reverse
>nothing happens
>give a little gas
>clunks into gear and screeches tires

>push clutch in to change gear

>clutch doesn't return

Literally happened today. I had to pull over and pull it with my hands. Whats weird is the car stalled once i stopped, meaning the clutch wasn't pushed in, despite it being depressed fully.

Master cylinder a shit?

Sounds like something hydraulic popped.

Its got a clutch cable. I inspected it, and suspect that the return spring catches on a piece of plastic near it. Tried to replicate it but couldn't. So im waiting for it to happen again, hopefully someplace with less traffic.

the pedal moves but the clutch barely does on mine, so I have to give it some gas to change gears
