Yesterday I didn’t sleep, it was hot and couldn’t sleep.
Got up at 4am, went to work, ran errands. Then as I was driving I put the car in reverse in the freeway instead of 6th gear. What the fuck. Grinding noise.
Turns out the car no longer goes in reverse. I believe I bent the teeth in the synchro gears.
Fuuuu, need to pull the transmission and take it all apart. I don’t even have concrete or anything yet. I have lived here 6 months on raw land. I guess for the next few years I need to push the car if I get stuck lol
I plan to have an automotive workshop when we build the garage, but that might be a few years away.
It’s been quite the downer lol running errands and parking in ways I can get out ha.
My wife keeps saying at least the car didnt leave us stranded, and we can still go out. We live in the middle of nowhere.

This is a bad fuck up :/ I’m sorry that happened to you, I’ve almost done it myself.

Well, gotta take the small wins. It could have been worse.
