......doesn't everyone love when that isht happens?!
Anyway; another thread resurrection from the dead as I am so famous for doing. So what I did this past weekend was remove the engine and transmission from the car. There are a few reasons for this and I'll run over them "quickly".
The car started giving me issues with shifting about two years ago. It was primarily 1st to second. It ended up not allowing me to downshift to 4th or 2nd after I reached 5th gear. I would have to bring the car all the way to a stop, put it into 1st then slam it into second. Then all would be fine. Besides the ever so often grind. Then all of the sudden I just lost 2nd, 4th and reverse.
So I suspected the shifter cables or end bushing as I had literally just redone the shifter base. So I replaced the bushings with solid inserts/bearings. I also looked at the cables and didn't notice anything wrong. The car also burnt oil in an odd way. If I would touch boost at all when I came to a stop I would have a white cloud pass me. I suspected the valve stem seals as well as possibly the turbo.
