Message sliping problem, only to drive the car home today, more mess up then when I took it in to the thrid shop. I'm about to the end. Two months, shop visit after shop visit, hundreds of dollars in labor/ parts and car is running like shit. At a time in my life when it seems nothing is going right, I can't pay enough I guess to get this car running right. At this point, everyone is pointing the finger. Clutch shop say's is the booster, got one off a totaled Z with 50k on it, put it in, yesterday at a Nissan shop. They called me only to say they couldn't get the car in any gear. So I had to pay them again to put mine old one back in and they said they would trouble shoot the clutch system. So what was a $150 job, turned out to be just under $300 and the car the same, running like shit. No first, grind second,thrid etc, very hard to get in reverse.

I tell you folks, I never been so fusrated about something then this. Two months, 98% new parts ( accept booster ) and still can't get it fixed. Now I went back to Clutch Doctors today, and told them that the Nissan Dealership said it was not a bad booster like Clutch Doctors said, but an internal problem. So by now the car's been to Clutch Doctors 4 times, Vancouver Nissan and yesterday for two day's at Gresham Nissan.

The only cool part I've got out of this, is the manager at Clutch Doctors said to bring him the car Monday morning, he's going to put it on the rack and tear it all apart and check everything.

I never in a million years thought I would be dealing with this problem for this long. It makes me sick to think about all the wasted money on labor that got me nowhere. All the parts I've gotten and still have the same problem. This is just the clutch system, not a fu*king motor rebuild, shit. I feel like I'm going to loose my tranny or this, because, I had to force it into gears to get it home today and it was hard to get out of the gears as well to shift. Grinding etc, like it's way out of adjustment. I think I'm going to take Monday off work and go look/help with my car. I can't even get it ready for the all day Z cruise coming up at the end of May. I've got to put the brembo brake system on still. He's the new parts.
