sounds just like this. the throttle cable boke while in high speed traffic and the gas peddle went to the floor, but my cable is not broken yet. It has like 1 strand left on it. I don't want to even drive it. But i guess i have to take it to the mechanic. dammm what a week.


so far the breakdown is this:
- new gear shift( put original back on) B& M broke off. free
- New clutch, bc of the gearshift. $950 to repair.
- New compustar remote for gf's car, bc i accidently broke it off, 120.00
- need a new throttle cable, dont know how much it is,
- mechanic has changed the front stabilizer bars and bushings and rear bar bushings, Free bc it was all included in the clutch cost.
- Need left front ball joint. will have to replace tomorrow.

Dammm can't wait until this week is over. Its been nothing but disasters for me.

Ohh to top it all off. I'm getting sick as well.haha

i love warrenty, I am trying to get the whole new clutch and flywheel tsb done too, the service guy had a svtf too and seem to be understanding.
