Hi Gang, long time no see. The other day I was driving alon (minding my own business). I was stopped at a red light. As I began to pull away after the light changed, I heard a loud clunk, and, while the engine kept running, there was no drive. As I coasted into a parking lot, I looked in my mirror to see if I had left anything in the road - no. Anyways, The car now sits in the garage awaiting repair. Where should I begin. A cursory look didn't reveal anything obviously wrong. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Thanks in advance for your replies |
