Ya im in the same situation i have a 1999 Ford Zx2 Manual, and in the past week my transmission shot, clutch droped, battery died completly without anything on... I love my Zx2 but it has to many problems and all ive heard from these zx2s is that they have nothing but transmission problems... Not a single zx2 that i have seen hasnt experinced some kind of transmission problem.... to as of why im not sure but all i know is im almost at the point of giving up on the car.... I need about 4 grand in repairs... and its only worth around 3 |
