Just filled up my tank with 91 octane after driving home from work... while leaving the gas station, I gassed it and hear.. "CLUNK, CLUNK, CLUNK"....and my car stalls....even after I gassed it lightly.
This can't be good...  My babies in pain... I feel like crying...seriously... Anyways... I think it's the transmission. I have auto and my car has about 187K on it. I also noticed that my left strut isn't bouncy like the right one. I'm not sure if this is related or not. And when I pushed the car (out of moving traffic) it makes a Clunk every revolution. I towed it to my mechanics, and I'm gonna see how much this is gonna cost me. Thanks for listening to my problems. |

After pulling out the gas station ready to hit the speed did the car jerk ? ....... if you it's your tranny you RPM should raise hella high without going anywhere .....

I really don't know. if your axle has broken and is not seated properly in the tranny, it will grind. -------------------- |

I'd guess that nothing is wrong with either the engine or tranny if you can put it in neutral and move it. I'd guess axel.

Auto transmissions have clutches... it's just not manually operated. At least that's what I believe.

Hmm.. They just called me again and said, "Oh I thought your car was a manual, actually it's your transmission that's bad."
