Unlucky Week
Apparently bad things happen to my car in pairs. Earlier this week I hit a deer. Physical damage, w/e.
Today on the way home from work, rpms start jumping during basic acceleration. Me thinks no way its the clutch slipping, not old clutch not factory clutch and i definitely dont beat on it. So i keep driving.
I start hearing metal like screetching noises from the transmission and i can no longer accelerate. I can move the car slightly if i feather the clutch in and out while i give it a little gas enough to baby it home.
This happens in all gears. I just jacked it up in the garage and there is gear oil leaking out of the drivers side axle connection with the transmission. Not enough to have drained the transmission but enough to bother me.
Possibilities? I assume im going to drop the tranny regardless of the cause but I would like to have some sort of idea on what to look for.
As always thanks for any help.
PS- Installed JGY flywheel about a month ago.
