Yeah, I
am screwed.
Today my dad took a shot at it. He basically ripped the rest of the plastic that was sticking outside of the hole. Now I have useless pieces of plastic sitting inside. We've come to the conclusion that the rubber ring is keeping it from coming out, but is letting it twist as it sits deeper in the hole. We dont know what we will do, tomorrow we are going to talk to a friend who fixes up cars, and probably going to a mechanic to get it out. Oh yeah, I havent tried to drive the car around without the sensor plugged in, but after today's fun I wanted to see how it would be like. So as I got in the car and put it in reverse.... nothing happened. The idle didnt drop, no sound, I let off the brake, and I moved slightly. I step a little on the gas, and nothing is happening, the rpms just rise. Does this have to do with today's sensor fun, or is my transmission finally gone? It wont work in any of the other gears either, not drive, not 1, not 2. I had to put it in neutral and push it back to my parking spot.
By the way, the car drove fine without the sensor each time i wanted to move the car off the street and onto the driveway so i can try with the sensor again. it hasnt been plugged in since the first day. so is today's shifting problem unrelated to the sensor going a little deeper in?
