If it is the tranny, then it should be convered under warranty.
well, if it is the tranny, new tranny for me

Mini of SF said that when they got in the car they were able to make it move under it's own power... an inch or two, so there's some transfer of power going on... I should find out tomorrow the prognosis... I'll post up what it ends up being

So the car is STILL sitting at Steven's Creek BMW getting worked on. They replaced the clutch, and it seems to be moving under its own power, but they're saying the auxillary fan isn't working now, causing the car to overheat. Apparently they replaced the fan, but still can't get it to work. How much you want to bet they broke something while doing the clutch?

I was originally told I'd have the car back last monday... now I'm being told it won't be ready until this tuesday. This is getting rediculous.

I've owned the car for over two weeks, and have been able to drive it 3 times.
