man...how many more posts am i going to come across from u?

i feel your pain, but geez....anyway the cd4e is built with a 'limp-home' feature that allows u to drive it even after a failure...it came in handy for me when mine went out ON THE FREEWAY!!!!...o/d (4th gear) burned out at something like 70-something mph while trying to merge to the right to get another freeway.

i lost second and fourth gear synchros but was able to get to my destination a few more miles away...check the atx level, top it off test it and then back down the freeway to the local furd mis-dealer...hit 70 all the way in 3rd gear but it was turning the engine at something like 4500 rpms...so i drove a total of maybe 20-25 miles on mine at highway speeds but i certainly dont think its a good idea...i was worried about pissing off my engine running in third for such and extended period

dont get yourself stranded by killing the thing entirely...and if u're not gonna fix it and plan on selling the car u're only hurting the amount u're gonna get for it which isn't all that much anyway...if u are gonna fix why risk making something else worse by continuing to drive it...driving it into the ground wont really punish the car for breaking on u but it will punish u if u mess up something else while beating on it

and no more new posts about it please
