Damage 3.25

[Beagle]

*snicker* Beags I may be desparate, but not suicidal - I hate to remind you of this buuuutttttttt, your DD is a Chevrolet, and all of your projects are Fords

plus, I still consider this car an import. And we all know my undying love of imports...

Nah, my DD is an 08 Escape (Mazda, a loveable 3k pound turd with 2.3/5spd) or a 95 Lightning .. sometimes I drive the diesel. The Chevrolet (s10) is Dad's. Monica has a Vue, but that came with Monica, so I don't count it. Hell, it's a Honda motored GM I think.

My next DD will be a fat by large Lincoln! Coming soon to an impound lot near wherever I get pulled over in it.

I'm ready for the damn import to be out of the shop... you definitely have more patience than I do with retailers.

[SuperBuickGuy]

Patience. No. Tomorrow I'm going to track down the dealership's GM and have a heart-to-heart discussion.

the vue is a toyota i think but i really have no idea


i have owned every "american" brand and i have found out personaly they all suck and are a piece of shit lol

the best oen i have owned though believe it or not is my k-car with a dead transmission

[SuperBuickGuy]

when I worked as a manager of an auto rental company - the entire company had a celebration when the last K-car in the fleet was removed. I know you might find this hard to believe, but they were not good rental cars.

[Beagle]

I thought the K-Cars were the reigning champs of the Rental Car Grand Nationals? Some mag guys back when had a great push-o-war with them.

The Vue's 3.5 looks suspiciously like a Honda mill. It's an 06 I think. Not sure. It's a comfy appliance for mama to drive and not work on.

Good luck with the conversation!

Vue V6 is a Honda fo sho.

I don't like dealers, regardless of brand.

back to tech - why would a tremec keep eating synchros?

[Beagle]

Driver needs a woman passenger to put his hand on her leg instead of resting it on the shifter.

poor trans alignment perhaps? I know this can cause all kinds of screwed up problems.

[milner351]

^^^ YUP - Bellhousing alignment can cause all sorts of issues, putting the input shaft in a bind, it slows down quicker than the output shaft which is tied to the wheels and changes speeds more slowly. The difference in speeds from input to output is what strains synchro's as I understand it. Could also be a wrong lube / not enough lube problem - but certainly the dealership can get that simple stuff done correctly?
(Lots of ATF required 5 speeds got mistakenly refilled with 90w in the 80's-90's)
