So I went to my sister's place to visit her family and while I was there I would check my car. So I figure I'll start it up and see how bad the tranny shifts. I fire up the engine and this thing sounds like nothing I've ever heard, it was horrible!!! When I tried the shifter, it sounded like a lot of broken hunks of metal smashing into each other. I quickly shut it off and got out of the car.
What a sad ending for a car that has been reliable for so long.
