Smoking Issues/Rotary Paper Weight
I'm worried I might own a $2000 paper wieght that I just threw a $600 stereo into and only drove it for one day might be doomed. I had no true problems with my car other than slight driveablity issues but nothing truely serious untill yesterday. A co-worker of mine wanted to go for a cruise to listen to my new stereo, plus they love how the 7 handles. So we went for a cruise, right at the parking lot I had trouble getting into reverse, it kept grinding, I put it in, nt really worried becuase my transmission is shotty and grinds when ever I shift into 2nd gear. After a little bit I was having trouble putting it in first gear, no worry- if the tranny goes I'll just buy a ebay T2 tranny. Or so I thought. Drove it home after a 100mph drive, and thought everything was fine. Came back for work, and I couldn't get it into gear at all. I checked my hydraulic clutch fluid, and it was pretty much non-exsistant, so I wasen't concerned. Filled it with some dot 3, and still no gears. I tryed one more time, and the clutch pedal went straight to the floor, no resistance or anything. So I'm assuming my clutch is gone, shame, cuase I just got my stereo 2 days ago. I tryed to start it when I got home, and I checked my compression first, first rotor had 3 even beats, and the rear I couldn't tell if it was o.k. or not, at first it sounded like I was not getting compression on one of the seals, but I listened to it again, and it sounded even. It was no harder to turn at the alt. than normal, the car was flooded aswell so I flood cleared it. When I went to start it with the plugs back in it smoked like crazy, normally it smokes for a few seconds at start up, espessually when its flooded, but when I revved my engine up it poored smoke all over the drive way. Smoke is either blue or black, I'm posistive its not anti-freeze, and I'm kinda worried my beautiful GSL-SE is toast. Is then anything you guys would recommend me to check before I say fuck it, and throw in a 13B turbo II which I wasen't planning on doing till next spring.
