Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

So random question.. Backed the corvette out of the garage to adjust headlights on the truck... Ground twice trying to go into reverse. Pumped the clutch a bunch of times and it worked okay. Just had the master cylinder replaced which was causing it to be like this before. It feels like it felt right before it wouldn't go into gear at all. Like the clutch is starting to engage with the pedal an inch off the floor instead of 5 inches off the floor. Anybody know what might be the problem? It's an 84 and it's the stupid 4+3

try putting it in 1 st gear first then in reverse. could be a sycro going bad. opening up 1 st and then going into reverse will some time clear it so it go in like normal.

or the master is going on you again, i hate hydraulic clutches. wheres my Z bar!

Removed the ridiculous looking pin stripes I've been planning to remove since I bought the car in Sept.

this post is relevant to how my car acts on first start up sometimes. clutch is on the floor and the thing snaps right into reverse. my clutch is tighter than a virgin though, it's supposed to engage an inch off the floor

It wont be.

Bascially, dont follow the oil change life monitor, change every 3k miles or 5k, depending on oil. It'll prolong the life.

So far only had cosmetic problems with the Acadia. But do change the oil often, I use 50%. It's a dirty engine.

Starting to think the car hates me right now. Both low trac and abs lights are on and now the low oil level light is on. All are glaring at me...

Abs light causes low trac iirc. Fix your hub/s LoL

It's not the hubs. Its the wiring harness that leads into the hub. the passanger side I fixed a few years ago and knew the driver side would go bad sometime. Now is the time. I just don't have the cash to fix it. i really don't want to go the junk yard to get a used one. i would rather buy a new one.

^^^wheel speed sensor lol

there's also a recall for the headlight bulb connectors. congrats on your purchase though, and i hope you enjoy it. did i mention change the oil often?
