Well, I think its my Transmission, but a friend of my moms said that her Achiva acted the same way when her engine died.
the Temp guage showed a fairly normal Temp (was between the O and R) the car started to jerk when it was suposed to shift up, then wouldn't shift, I ended up doing 50 at about 4.5k -5K RPMs. when I got to the light it didn't want to go, it was almost like it was in neutral untill it started slowly moving at 3-3.5k (like when you don't have the clutch all the way out), I ended up doing 15MPH at 4.5K to get out of the intersection and started seeing a little smoke. pulled into the gas station, and parked for a good 30min - 45min and it drove normal. I tried to drive it a little further towards home, and it did the same thing after a few miles.
To me it feels almost like if your clutch is slipping on a Manual, but my mom's friend said that's exactly what her car did when the engine went.
I'd like to find out if its my Engine or my Transmission.
BTW, its a Essex
Any and all help is appreciated, and wish me luck that its just tranny.
