My car broke.
My car broke.
I had no trouble riding the clutch through the nine-car accident traffic
today on 101. Minutes after escaping the jam, however, I found myself
unable to engage and disengage gears without a lot of force on the
stick. Bad!
Over at the local Honda
dealer, a man named Sharkie (!) took me for a test drive in my car
to figure out what was wrong with the clutch.
Sharkie: I apologize, but I’m
just gonna have to do some stuff, to figure out what’s gone wrong. I
apologize in advance. [He revs the engine, and then … stops
revving it. Sharkie bursts out laughing.]Dan: Uh … what happened?
Sharkie: Just now, I put it into third,
revved the engine, and dropped the clutch. And nothing
happened!
So, new clutch for 4-LAD.
Apparently, 101,002 miles on one clutch is pretty good. Yay, car!
