Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked by Shannon Paffe-Mihal on April 12, 2021
I was towing my Mazda Miata, I ran over tire tread in the road. Tread jammed my rear wheels caused the car to drag and leave tire marks on the highway. Had it looked at $ 400.00 , then the shop called , needs $ 1300 more to tear down transmission to tell me what is wrong ? this just does not seems right. I am new to the area, single female and alone. I had it towed from there today. thoughts ? thanks
Depending on the transmissions configuration.. As you say you ran over a tyre.. If you literally ran right over it then its possible that the tyre traveled under the gearbox first damaging it, possibly impacting the gear selector mechanism. So, this would be like trying to force a gear change without the clutch which could certainly damage the gearbox's internal parts, especially as the transmission will have been under load at the time of impact with the tyre.
