Hello Everybody,
-How it happened- Girlfriend thought it would be a good idea to mess with me by hiding my car. Her along with a friend didn't realize or remember to push the clutch in to shift gears. So im pretty sure they spent a good 10 minutes trying to jam the car into first gear (or maybe fourth since its the messed up gear).
I'm pretty sure my car needs to be taken in to a shop but I wanted to get some information before i just took it in. Some questions i'd like answered would be
1) what are the possible causes - messed up gear box, clutch, transmission, syncros?
2) What kinda repair cost am I looking at ?
3) Would this be covered by warranty? highly doubt it haha but cant hurt to ask.
4) Will continued driving while avoiding 4th gear spread/ incur long lasting damage?
Summary of the problem- Basically anytime I shift into 4th gear, I hear a grinding sound. Also my clutch doesn't feel as stiff as it use to be. Olive (my 2012 SI) seems to be driving fine and there doesn't seem to be any other problems, i've just been avoiding 4th gear. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated!
Maybe I can use this as an opportunity to get my girlfriend to help me begin tuning my car.
