I was driving home after work, and the car in front of me jammed it's brakes in a hurry. So obviously I had too also. I was in 3rd gear, and didn't engage the clutch when I hit the brakes. Well I felt a real bad shutter kinda like when the ABS kicks in but WAY worse. The rest of the drive home, about 6 miles, the tranny wouldn't shift into any gears without shutting it down then restarting in gear with the clutch engaged. I ended up driving the car the rest of the way home in 4th.
The next day I went out to see if maybe something just needed to reset after cooling, or maybe if something was binding(input shaft) after cooling it would release so I could at least drive it to the dealer for service. Nope! With the engine running with tranny in neutral if I engaged the clutch to put it gear the car would try to move. So I shut it down to try starting in reverse, and basically the same thing. It would start moving with the clutch engaged. Only in reverse you could smell the clutch getting hot.
Dunno what happened. My guess is the slave cylinder took a ****, or the input shaft was having a pretty serious binding issue.
I've only had this car for a little over 3k miles, and have driven a standard all my life. So it isn't anything I did. I honestly think the dealer sold me a car that had major issues they knew about, and didn't fix. Today I decided I had enough so I traded it in on a brand new loaded(less Tech Group) 2015 Sublime Scat Pack. I pick it up tomorrow.
The dealer I went to went way above, and beyond anything they would ever have had too for any sale on this, and I could not be happier. They gave me well over what my car was worth plus two other separate discounts to get me in this thing. They surprised me with a lot of things after the deal had been struck. One being a lifetime mechanical drive train warranty that is supposed to be exclusive to that dealership but honored throughout the U.S.. On top of that they also threw in the lifetime maximum care bumper to bumper warranty for FREE, 2yrs. worth of oil changes, 2 tire rotations, a full tank of gas, and a professional detail. All while keeping the price of the Scat Pack about $3k under invoice. NOT MSRP, but INVOICE.
Totally stoked to pick it up tomorrow. If you're in middle TN, and looking to buy a Mopar. I highly advise you go see the Franklin, TN CDJR dealership. These guys are awesome to work with, totally personable, very professional, ethical, and are willing to go above, and beyond to get you what you need/want. My salesman was Blake, and a great guy to deal with.
