And this was not with a hooker. Ok guys, i did a neutral drop..........uhhhh yeah stupid i know, but i need to know what the crap is going on.....and well, i first noticed a problem when i could drive in nuetral. like it was drive. yeah...yeah... Anyway so when i stopped in a parking lot, to check it out. And when i decided i don't know anything about transmissions, and i was shocked to discover that i was without a reverse option either. It also drove forward, me and my friends pushed me around (mind you, i had to shift to reverse, turn off the car for a nuetral setting to occur) WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX THIS OR AM I GOING TO HAVE TO SHELL OUT MONEY!?!

 

say goodbye to $$$$$$$$$, either that or you may be lucky enough that the linkage has just come off. (Happened to me once)

 

Always start with the cheapest thing first, check your linkage, the cable may have come loose. My cable housing snapped at the bracket and it would not shift back to neutral, reverse, or park. A new shifter cable fixed it.

 

alright thanks i'll do that, i dropped it at about 2500 rpms
any other suggestions while im at it?

 

Neutral drop??? WTF dude, this is a Vette, not a Civic...

 

not one of those silly light four bangers!

To get the effect of a clutch dump on a stick, you try to rev it IN FIRST to about 2-2500 with the brakes ON (3-3500 if you REALLY have good brakes you don't wish to keep) (not the p-brake, this isn't a locked-up rear slide trick and C3's don't have that kind of p-brake for that anyhow).

Once your tires are spinning some let it go! You have good positrac so they will both spin.

BTW, this is a good way to nuke your IRS AND your tranny....if you're on a budget, this is NOT a good idea. To do this CORRECTLY you have a silly 2500-3000 stall converter put in place of your torque converter. A decent tranny shop will charge you about $400 for that operation. You don't have anywhere near the right engine for that silliness either. If you really like this silly fake burnout chirping stuff, wire in a line lock solenoid to only lock your front brakes when you hit a switch - makes doing this stuff fairy harmless except to your tire bill. Narrower rear tires with deep tread make this even more "impressive." If you want to throw away your high speed driving, get some nice 4.11's and some smaller rear tires and go wild!

Your engine, modest though it is, produces way too much torque on such a heavy car to not push many of those strong parts to the breaking point with what you just did. If you're on a budget, don't TRY to break it!

Guy, your car, in good shape, will outhandle those silly crappy ricers of the low dollar, wannabe GTA gamer types, and, if you can afford the ticket and have good parts, drive at 130+ solidly, up where their little POS's start going like a rollerskate without a skater. You haven't put enough hours in just driving to have even a modicum of safety doing that even on empty roads yet nor do you know your car or its condition well enough yet, but it's waiting for you and they can't go there ever, no matter how many triple decker wings, neon and APC stickers they put on.

I agree, you most likely knocked your shifter cable out of whack, but you might not have been that lucky. You really abused your drive train, especially your tranny, doing that.

It's your car, and your dollar, so do what you want - but remember, you only have 100 of them!

 

you can pick up a used tranny for about a hundred bucks.that will get u back to zero.
don't bet on it being the shifter linkage, but there is always hope i guess.

 

check your linkage, transmissions are either cheap to fix or way expensive, there is no middle ground.

 

Hmmmm...I smell a

 

Smells more like a dipshiz to me...
