1. SOME EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE: BLINKING OVER DRIVE LIGHT THEN STARTED TO CLICK (ALMOST AS IF IT WERE CV JOINTS) 2. TRANSMISSION, STARTED QUIETLY AND SELDOMLY, THEN TO A MORE FREQUENT AND LOUDER CLICKING, TO WHERE THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY STOPPED WORKING IN ALL. 3.NONE YET HAPPENED TODAY. *TR

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

I HAD A COUPON FOR $14.99-OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION FROM FIRESTONE.COM. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE SHOP...DID NOT ROTATE TIRES AND SAID THEY HAD NO COUPON. I WAS CHARGED MORE THAN THE COUPON. I RELUCTANTLY PAID THE BILL. I THEN DROVE TO LAKEVILLE, MN...ON MY WAY TO VISIT FATHER IN BATESVILLE, AR. I NOTICED A STRANGE SMELL AND ALMOST THE SAME TIME MY CAR POPPED OUT OF GEAR. SO I PULLED OFF I-35 AND CHECKED THE OIL. THE CAP WAS NOT ON CORRECTLY, (1 1/2 TURNS THEN IT WAS TIGHTENED) I CALLED FIRESTONE IMMEDIATELY TO REPORT THE CAP AND SMELL. MY DIPSTICK READ FULL...I WAS NOT ABLE TO CHECK THE TRANNY FLUID SINCE IT IS BELOW (MANUAL TRANSMISSION), BUT WAS ASSURED BY FIRESTONE THEY CHECK THE LEVEL WITH AN OIL CHANGE. LONG STORY SHORT...I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY OILPAN AND TRANSMISSION. NOW TODAY THERE IS NO FLUID IN MY RADIATOR...AND I HAVE DRAINED ALL OF MY RESOURCES AND HAVE BECOME DELINQUENT WILL MY REGULAR BUDGET. THERE WAS ONLY 1/2 QT OIL IN MY MOTOR AND 1/2 QT TRANNY FLUID IN MY TRANS...
