Car maintenance and it’s hassles are slowly becoming a part of my life. This is the bitter side of having a car, it’s nice to know that you have a car, but it’s so much of a hassle when something goes wrong. An entire day will be wasted. One recent problem that I encountered has something to do with the Clutch. It simply is not working, when I stepped on it, it’s like there’s no tension or nothing there at all. I didn’t know what to do when we stalled cause I can’t shift to any gear. Thankfully we called my FIL and he quickly went to check on the car and found the problem. The clutch fluid was leaking due to a broken primary clutch. What happened next was what amazed me, somehow my Father-in-Law was able to take the car and drive it WITHOUT using clutch from Ortigas to his shop in Las Pinas where he had it repaired. And yes he was able to shift gears without using clutch, I didn’t exactly get how, but he did mention that there is a timing when you rev your engine where you can shift without using clutch. Amazing what you can do when you understand the inner workings of a car. To make the long story short, our church day was messed up by the car problem, but I am thankful that the car was easily fixed. They replaced both the primary and secondary clutch and that fixed the problem. I hope I don’t get any other problems for a long time
