i went up to azusa with my cousin to check out the twisties. Midway to the meet up spot, we take a little stop. Before we're about to leave he tells me that he can smell some oil burning from the lude. I pop the hood, check things out, and everything seems aiite.
We get to the meet up spot and i check again to make sure. I open the hood, look things over but this time i can hear something wierd. I look/hear around and find out that the water in my resevoir is BOILING! The little tank was visibly shaking. I was like "WTF?!!?!?!?". that's the first time that's ever happened. i wasn't even driving that hard through the twisties nor did i drive for that long. so i started up the car to check the temp but it was only around 1-2 bars above normal.
So i check the oil for whatever reason. at first i thought i was running super low on oil because i had changed the oil earlier in the afternoon. it was dark so i really couldn't tell on the dipstick. my cousin checked again to make sure and he was telling me that i had too much oil. the mark was above the 2nd hole. i don't know if that made any contribution to the heating problem.
after the lude cools down a bit and everything is aiite we start up again to get through the rest of the route. i start the lude up but now i can't get into reverse. that wasn't too much of a problem. 5min later i'm still trying to get into reverse so i try getting into the other gears. I CAN'T GET INTO ANY OF THE GEARS?!??!? I had to shut the car off and start it up again to get into gear.
Though once the Lude is running and i start goin through the rest of the twisties. the lude jus didn't feel right. Gears 2 and 3 were the ones i was using mostly. i kept gettin locked out whenever i was upshifting to 3rd and when i downshifted to 2nd, the lude felt like it was buckling. shifting in general felt extremely notchy.
then on the way home, as i was coming from each stop light, the lude felt like it was about to stall. i dont' really know how to describe it. it felt like the clutch wasn't catching or that the engine was struggling to keep up. i know my clutch wasn't slipping.
i really don't know what the phuck is up with the lude. it's never been like this before. anyone want to give me some insight on what's up? i think that having too much oil in the car had something to do with it although i don't know what problems, if any, that would cause. but when i got home i checked the oil level again and it was midway between the 2 marks. so i really don't know what's up
