I can't put my car into any gears at all. I drove my car today and 4 hours later I tried to go out with my and I reliazed that I was not able to put the car into first gear. It won't even push up or down. Seems like it is jammed. But the strange thing is I can put it into gear when my car is turned off. So when the engine is off I can put it into any gear but not when the car is turned on. So now my car is left outside of my house I have no choice to get a truck to drag my car back to Toyota. Any idea what it could be?
Thanks.... |

Okay I went to Toyota this morning and 2 mechanics looked at my car for less then 3 minutes under the hood and started to move somthing and then they drove off with my car. I was like what the **** did you do? Anyhow they came back and talked to the service advisor and the service advisor told me that I need to replace my master clutch, slave clutch, assembly clutch and something else. They gave me a quote of $1800 canadian to fix my car. I asked them can I drive my car right now since it is working. He told me he wont recommand me cause my clutch is going very soon. I told him I'll decide and call him back. So I drove my car home and it's perfect I change gears and all. I was thinking maybe they wanted to rip me off so I took my car to another car shop know as SPEEDY AUTO. They told me nothing is wrong with my car and my clutchg is fine. We even went for a test drive around the area. Now my question is can someone determine I need to replace all those clutch parts without even jacking up my car or openning my transmission? How do they know that it needs to be replaced? Is it experience with Toyota cars or is he just trying to scam me?
I don't think within 3 minutes someone can determine all that stuff. Plus my clutch is not even slipping. The mechanics at Toyota where very yonge. They are no more then 26 years old. What do you guys think? |
