96 protege want move
In advance I am sorry if this is not the place to post this (if not could you tell me where) but I just purchased a 1996 Protege from a private party. They say nothing wrong with it but I had to get a new exhaust to pass inspection.
Minor Problems:
When I do tight turns you here some type of clicking joints (from description 2 mechanics believe its the cv)
The car especially steering wheel vibrates hard when Im at a stop (like a stop light or stop sign)
Major problem:
I only drove the car to get it inspected which is down the street from my house, then a little bit further to get the exhaust, then back to inspection and back home. (other then when I first got it I drove to get some tires on it)
First day I really drove it (other then getting the above done) I took a trip approximate 90 miles each way to see my family(i did end up riding around the city picking up family).
I leave and head back home and instead of going straight to my house I go to my fiance job and park. I keep the engine going and sit there. When I get ready to park next to my fiance I reverse and hear this loud grinding noise as if things were just falling out. Put the car in drive no motion just loud noise. Put it in neutral nothing. They could not push the car foward when I had put it in neutral they just could push it back. Some mechanic say it could be transmission and some say it could be an issue not as sever as the transmission. What do you think. I have to get my car fixed ASAP but I do not have a lot of funds. I hate to call a mechanic and his prices are more then I can afford after I have already paid him to look at the car or perform the diagnostics because then I will have to pay someone else to look at it.
Any advice and information about what I can do, the different possible problems there could be or anything could help because I am on a very very tight budget right now.
