What is this?
« on: 23 July 2013, 14:07 »
I left my car in gear on a hill for a few hours. When i started it up again there hardly any power its just slippin and the engine sounds like a motorbike engine.

The engine seems ok, the clutch seems ok. what could this be gearbox or driveshaft or what.

How much is it gonna cost me?

When i accelerate its just not catching right as if there is somthing wrong with the cutch but it changes gear ok.

It must be somthing to do with when i left it in gear on a hill. What would that break? I never leave it in gear just this once i dunno why.
