HE CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY. THE FIRE CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE HOUSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. THE INSURANCE INVESTIGATOR DETERMINED THAT THE FIRE WAS CAUSED BY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION :CONTROL MODULE (PCM). THERE WERE NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VEHICLE. *AK
WHILE SHIFTING THE GEARS THE CLUTCH FAILED TO MOVE ON ITS OWN. A LOUD BANGING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE FRONT. CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TO THE SOLENOID SWITCH. *AK
PROBLEM RELATES TO THE BUSHING IN THE CLUTCH PEDAL LINKAGE. IT FAILS WITHOUT WARNING WHILE SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION. IT NOT ONLY ACTS AS THE LUBRICATING BUSHING IN THE LINKAGE, BUT ALSO THE KEEPER THAT HOLDS THE CLUTCH PEDAL LINKAGE TOGETHER WHERE IT JOINS THE ACTUATING ROD OF THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER. THE FIRST TIME THAT IT FAILED, AND ALL SUBSEQUENT TIMES, THE CLUTCH PEDAL DROPS TO THE FLOOR, LEAVING THE DRIVER WITH NO WAY TO SHIFT USING THE CLUTCH. IF THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND THE OPERATOR KNOWS HOW TO PERFORM A SHIFT WITHOUT THE CLUTCH PEDAL, THE VEHICLE CAN BE DRIVEN TO A SAFE LOCATION. OTHERWISE, ONE IS LEFT AT THE PLACE THAT IT CAME APART, WONDERING HOW TO CONNECT THE LINKAGE TOGETHER SO THAT THE VEHICLE CAN BE SHIFTED. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, A REPLACEMENT BUSHING IS REQUIRED. IT SNAPS INTO THE LOOP OF THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER ROD, WHICH THEN SNAPS ONTO THE CLUTCH PEDAL LINKAGE. THIS HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 6 TIMES DURING THE 10 YEARS THAT I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE, THE FIRST TIME AT ABOUT 3 YEARS OF AGE. THEN APPROXIMATELY EVERY 18 TO 24 MONTHS. TODAY THE BUSHING BROKE THAT I REPLACED ABOUTH 3 MONTHS AGO. I NOW ALWAYS CARRY A NEW SPARE BUSHING. I PUT IN THE SPARE BUSHING, AND AFTER ABOUT 4 SHIFTS, THE NEW BUSHING BEGAN TO FAIL. A PIECE CRACKED OFF. I HAVE THE MOST RECENTLY REPLACED BUSHING IF NEEDED FOR RESEARCH. *AK
