| Endorsed   Joined: May 2010 From: Edmonds, WA I Ride: 1995 Honda Shadow | Help, car broke So I was trying to turn left at a light in first gear (manual transmission civic 97) when I heard a thunk and was no longer moving forward. I am thinking transmission issue? The car is in Redmond just off Avondale and I need some recommendation for a tow truck and where to take it. I'm kind of frustrated as I just spent $900 on tires and alignment (alignment was way off, took a kit to get it near right) Any advice is appreciated! |

The CV probably popped out of the transmission. Not uncommon with Honda. Generally you can pop them back in to get you moving but it most likely wont stay there. | |

Relatively close to where your ride is. And he may or may not work there depending on what the rules of giving out somewhat personal information are on this forum. | |

its cheaper to fix than many other cars and fits in small parking spaces, though I would rather be on my bike any day.... | |
