Well youngest daughter called early in the AM yesterday saying something wrong with car , alt light on and “ steering wheel” is “locked “ and burning smell, also said clutch didn’t feel right. Told her to call AAA and let me know where she is. Luckily she was only about 15 miles away.
Drove out to meet her and swap cars , as soon as I pulled in saw accessory belt dangling under the car. Figured alt seized or something along that line. Gave her my car and Waited for tow truck.
Got it home and put it up on ramps and to my surprise I found the belt tensioner wheel had seized….never saw that one before. I had a new spare installed with a new belt and at least that’s fixed…..
However when I took car for a spin I checked the clutch…….yep…..she’s slipping …….so now I’m waiting for all my parts to come today and and shortly going out side to go pull a transmission in the driveway
.
If to original….then she got almost 300,xxx miles on it with 80,xxx by her.
Thank god it’s warm out for a couple of days…..
