Picked up my car from the shop like 30 miles from my house and went to work. Was really hard to shift all day and was really pissing me off. I pulled in my driveway and my clutch cable snapped! $100 tow fora clutch cable that I allready own and a $30 quadrant. DOH!

 

why did you have to tow it when it broke pulling into your driveway?

 

Thats the same thing i am wondering, unless you had to have it towed back to the shop....

 

Towed back to the shop.

 

**** dude, do it urself... dnt get me wrong.. .ppl like you are the type that keep me working, but hell man, its easy, just do it urself

 

I got mine put on for $50 bucks...well worth it. Better than me getting under the car and everything, ESPECIALLY since I live in an apartment right now. If I had a garage it'd be a different story.

 

i guess my outlook is just differant then most ppl... andi guess this is why i am a mechanic for a living, lol

 

I have the same outlook as you bro. I can save a ton of money, I can make some money, and I learn and know the job is done right when I am done.

 

i save money by doing it, and learn alot... and at the same time i make money by doing it for other ppl(again, im a mechanic)... i mean ****... im rebuildin a trans right now(1st time), and when it comes time for gears, u bet ur *** im doin them myself too... why not take it as a learning experiance too? now what gets old quick w. our cars, tho i still like doing it... is diag work... obd1 ftl

 

most importantly when doing it yourself you know you're not being stiffed. you know what needs to be done, and what needs to be done is actually done.
