Consumer Description

STARTING TO HAVE PROBLEMS SHIFTING INTO GEAR ESPECIALLY GETTING INTO REVERSE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP. THE TECH WANTED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE BOX PEDAL CLUTCH ASSEMBLY. AFTER THE PEDAL BOX WAS RECEIVED THEY NOTICED IT WASN'T THE BOX AT ALL, BUT THE FIREWALL WELDS HOLDING THE CLUTCH/BREAK PEDAL BOX WERE BROKEN ON THE FIREWALL. BECAUSE THE WELDS SNAPPED THE CLUTCH/BRAKE CAGE MOVES AND IT CAN'T LET THE CLUTCH TRAVEL FAR ENOUGH TO PROPERLY ENGAGE CAUSING THE CLUTCH TO WORK PROPERLY AND ALSO THE BREAKS CANT BE PRESSED CORRECTLY TO STOP THE CAR. THE MECHANIC TOLD US NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR SAFETY SAKE TILL THE WELDS WERE REPAIRED OR WE COULD HAVE AN ACCIDENT. *TR
