car is base model 98 mustang with v6 and 5spd
I always thought it had some sort of transmission trouble since the car fell into my hands (gear whine at 2k+,) and it seems to have exasperated this evening. It now makes it at most-all RPMs. and when I had the car turned off just shifting through the gears, there is a large clicking noise coming from the undercarriage as I move the gear handle up, down, right, left, etc. I can understand the transmission taking a shit and having to replace the car - my new gen 4 Glock is worth more than the car is...
What I don't understand, is that this evening when the problems exaggerated, someone had tried flashed me down with their brights and I had assumed wrongly that they were just being an ass. I don't see how it would have been visible to someone driving behind me, but I had someone watch me drive away, and there wasn't sparks flying. There appears to be a trail/scrape in the parking lot, but nothing is hanging down, and I don't even see any leaks.
