I took my car in to get a state inspection today. The car failed from what the mechanic says was that both tie rods are worn out. Looking at the car the passenger side is ok. The only problem was is that the drivers side tie rod is missing the rubber bushing. Even though the car did not have one in the last time it went for inspection, and it passed. And it was at the same shop. When driving home it would not go into 5th gear. All the other gears are fine. It would eventually when i double clutched. Sitting in the garage it will not go in 5th at all. What could be wrong with the tranny? It drove in there fine and came out a mess. But the shop said that they didn't drive the car far. Another annoying thing was that they managed to loose 2 lug nut caps. Which they said were already missing. So I know they are lying.
