Hey guys, I had some bad luck this week. Got my car towed, and they must have dragged it backwards onto the flatbed god only knows how they got it off, without ever being in neutral. Anyways its an eclipse gt auto. Now anytime the transmission shifts to a higher gear past 2k rpms, the whole car jerks and shudders. Almost feels like its missing or slipping. This only happens when it shifts, its fine when Im in 3rd or 4th and the rpms gradually rise above 2k. What could be wrong? Thanks

 

that practice is used everyday and while it should be a last resort it can be done and done safely. I'm not trying to be rude to you I want to be fair so I'll cover this from both sides of the fence. ok, Why was the car towed? and why did they not put it in neutral? also did they use soap to slick up the bed? also, I've slid cars onto my flatbed many times and never had a problem. But its possible that something was near breaking point and slidding it progressed the breaking. IDK... were you present at the time of the tow? did you sign the reciept?(or did you authorize someone to sign the tow ticket?) did the tow truck driver say anything RELATED to the damge you say has occurred? what have you done to remedy this situation? please answer these questions and I'll farhter be able to help you...
