well the car doesnt shift anymore.. its an automatic 96 SE... just wondering what could be wrong with it ? please dont say ah just do a manual conversion or anything because i sold the car to a kid and hes complaining about it when i never had problems with it...

but just please... let me know what could be wrong if anybody knows....

 

A kid beating the **** out of his car and manually shifting an auto could cause it to stop shifting, most likely If it never gave you any problems, and shifted smooth when you had it, it sounds like it's not your problem

 

make sure there is fluid in it. check to see if the shifter cable is broken

 

well...when i had a 92 automatic LS...um...i switched the radiator out..and..told my friend to plug all the wires right...while i go fix something else...adn when we were all done...it ......didnt go anywhere....cuz...my friend didnt plug in the tranny fluid wire. yeah...but...if its nto that...i dont know!

 

Are you keeping your foot planted to the floor maybe? *smile*

 

he was .... i wonder if overheating a trans would have done it... when i was riding with him when we went to get the tittle and stuff... he was doing like 90-95 on the highway. and just beating the crap outa it.


but specifically on the phone he said "i didnt do any neutral drops or anything like that"

so who the heck knows...

 

i dunno whats wrong with it but as long as it worked fine when you had it and u didnt scam the kid them who cared its not your problem the kid messed up the car

 

if he test drove the car and there was nothing wrong with it, then what he do after is his problems. he probaly did manual down shift and messed up the spring in the tranny... auto trannys are expensive to rebuilt.

but they are dirt cheap used. $100-200.. especially on here.

 

Clean the shift solenoids. It's like 50 bucks.

or you can get it on hmotorsonline.com. i got mine for around $200-$250


but since you sold the car, it's not your problem. after all, you said the kid "beat the car up" so who knows what he's done to it.

I just wanna call BS on that. You personally witnessed him driving the car as if it was some kinda NASCAR track and his car had the capability to do 200mph. So...not your problem. He could have pushed it to the point where.....well something failed. Keep in mind, he gets in the car to go to the movies. Take a 5 min drive...beating the **** out of it. Goes home...5 min drive....beats the **** out of it. Repeat that for every place he has to go....light to light traffic....etc etc. His car is not going to last long at all.

 

the other funny thing is he still owes me $400 and a nx wet nitrous kit... hes saying hes gonna take me to small claims court to get the money back for the car and give me the car back when the only thing they would do is make him pay ME. hes pretty dumb

 

nope, small claims court are always in favor the buyer. not the seller.

if you didn't make him sign a bill of sale, then good look at small claims court.

the only thing you can say is you had a verbol agreement saying that you sold him the car "as-is" and if he didn't like the car, then he shouldnt have drove off with it.

and timing is eveything. if he wanted to give you the car back the next day, then yeah, ur car was probably f'd up. but, if he waited a week or so, then you have a good chance.

but if you did have him sign a contract, then its his loss.

good luck, and expletive small claims court for not doing anything to help me get my 2gs.

all they did was, yes, she owed u money. and that was it. i was like wtf? aint u gonna make her pay up? they said, nope. its up to you to get the money. i said, then why the expletive am i paying you 200 for nothing? 1 year of going back and forth, and all i got is a "yeah, she owes you money".

anyways, just venting.

 

yeah he did sign a bill of sale.. i needed one for the bank to let the lein go. but i paid it off so the bank has a copy of it to..

 

lol.. take you.. he's gonna get screwed..

he fucked the tranny up.. if it worked fine for you, and when he test drove it, then he did something wrong, and tell him to take it to a shop.. its his problem. not yours.
