Haha, alright i'm sorry, i had woken up when i posted that.
Anyway... I was driving along the road parallel to my driveway on my way home. the engine started making a really bad clunking noise, worse then before. I noticed the shifting got slightly difficult, and the powersteering seemed to be with less "power".
Then BANG, car shuts off, i look in the rear view mirrow as i drift onto the shoulder to see what broke off/fell into the street. All i see is a path of fluids, which later seemed to be antifreeze. So I get the car turned off, open the hood and look around, and I see green fluid sprayed around, looking closer i see a big chunk of metal with a gear in it, a separate gear piece attached to about an inch thick piece of metal, and a whole in the engine between the Water Pump and where the Dip Stick goes in. I see the oil just sitting in the resevoir from here.
I grabbed the broken off pieces, which luckily werne't caught by hoses, and not laying in the street. and walked home, which was like a 5 minute walk. Got my neighbor to tow me home with a chain and his truck since my parents were gone.
The car is now just sitting along my driveway by one of the barns, so thats what happened.
Going to drain all oil and put a new pump in when it gets here, engine should be here towards the end of next week.
PS. Luckily i had already ordered another engine monday!
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks!
