I'm officially getting real tired, real quick of my Accord. Hopefully y'all have better luck than I do.
Today, I was dropping a friend off after school. I parked in his driveway and went down to look at a car he had for sale. The driveway is steep...but the e-brake holds it. Kinda. I'm there, sitting in the car ('87 Olds' Cutlass Supreme Brougham), when all of a sudden I look out over the windshield and I watch on as I see the Accord sailing down the driveway towards us. Luckily the wheel was cocked a tiny bit and it ran over some large wood pieces which made it come to a stop where the front drivers side was up about 2 feet higher than the rest of the car. I frantically open up the door and run toward the car. The brake is still yanked up all the way. I then look at the drivers side...besides being suspended 2 feet higher than the rest of the car...it seemed swell. I try to push the car off of the wood. No luck. So I climb over the wood and Dukes of Hazzard my ass into the car. My body, when sitting flat on the seat, was at over a 45 degree angle. I try to ease off of the wood and BAM! The car abruptly falls to the ground. Obviously...the car didn't sound to swell. Luckily, the actual brakes still seem to be working fine, and the suspension *seems* fine...but I'm taking it to my grandpa's tomorrow and we're gonna jack it up and see what happens.
And above that, I think my clutch is going. Lately it's been slipping like mad. Like I'll be shifting and instead of instantly grabbing the gear and applying power, it sorta lags and does whatever...THEN kicks in. As well as when I'll be shiting INTO gear, with the clutch firmly to the ground, the gear grinds. I don't believe this tranny was ever good when I got it...but this is rediculous.
I hope you guys have better luck.
