So on Sunday I drove my car to my mechanic's shop so that I could do my clutch install myself in his garage using his tools, since I no longer have any tools because they got stolen. This was the same mechanic who did my swap, but I had no intention of having him touch the car. Well it turns out that I'm 100% completely mechanically retarded...at the end of the day I didn't even have both axles out of the car.
And since it was in the shop's main bay and my mechanic had to have it out of there and I had to work, I couldn't continue on it and had to pay him to do my clutch installation. So I got my car back today and took it for a drive...it is now so screwed up it's ridiculous. Now I have to hold the wheel ten degrees or so clockwise to drive straight! I also have a new paint chip on the side of my door from my mechanic hitting the door with something, and my front brakes squeal when I come to a stop. It's so ridiculously sick how retarded my mechanic is. My car was fine except for a bad throwout bearing due to my mechanic being a retard and using the wrong one on my tranny. Now it doesn't drive straight and my brakes squeal. I just don't even know what to do anymore...my car used to be nice...now look at it...it's a piece of garbage...I don't even think I could sell this car anymore. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

Thanks Anub...I wouldn't have ever taken it there to get work done on it by him, but I needed to use his tools to do it myself, and none of my friends have the tools or anything required. Most of my friends are into drinking rather than cars, and the rest are mostly ricers who don't even change their own oil, so I had a hard time finding a place to do the work.
And yeah, an air bubble doesn't seem like it'd cause that...if I can find the right part number then I'll pick up a belt tonight and put that on and see if it helps any. My gut feeling is that my mechanic took my car out for a test drive to make sure the clutch was working and hit something like a curb or something. He's retarded like that. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
