so it was raining and i was in my car started it it was in first and my foot slipped off the clutch and boom turned off. the car was idling 1k rpms tops. i started it back up and drove for a little bit seems to drive fine but the check engine light is on. has this happened to anyone? can i keep driving did i blow the tranny and input or ideas would help greatly thanks

 

If you can keep driving without grinding, whirring and crunching noises you didnt blow the tranny. I would scan it with a code reader to see what it is.

 

I don't think slipping off the clutch has anything to do with the light.

My secret weapon is "Advance Auto" - they read the codes for free.
THEN, you Google the code and learn what you can about what it's telling you.

Worked last month for me when I found corroded wires at the gas tank sensor, telling the computer I had high fuel tank pressure when I REALLY had a bad connection at the pressure sensor.

And letting your foot slip off the clutch isn't what makes you an idiot... I've been an idiot this year and what YOU did does NOT qualify.

 

Yo, pizzaguy, who is that spooky dude in your new avatar?

 

I did something backing up the other day. I park near a drain and I have to use my e-brake so I don't roll forward and scuff my front bumper backing out. Something grabbed hard and the car stalled. I was paying half attention. I re started and all was fine. Not sure if you hurt anything I'd have the code pulled. Mine did not fire a code.

 

Please, eventually let us know how this turns out.....

The 6 spd seems pretty stout to me.....2 years from yesterday I'll be taking mine in for it's 5 year free inspection to maintain the LPW....expect to have about 90,000 miles on it by then.

 

Wow, 90,000 miles, that is encouraging. I have 10,000 miles on my '05 limited@80,000 to go, and I am 72. I do think my Crossfire will out live me.☺

 

Pull you battery ground cable off for 4 minutes. Should re set the light.

People stall these six speed all the time.
Unless you were spinning a 4,000 RPM, I doubt you hurt anything.

 

I have done that in the big rig....wet foot, big clutch...big embarrassment....lol.....you didn't hurt anything...but a stall like that may have caused the code...do as Franc instructed and see if it clears...it's the same thing as braking so hard as to kill the car...this can cause a code as well...

 

Lol that's Mark

 

Yea, Mark - some guy I know.

Man, the stories they tell about him....

 

The "Thinker"....or is that tinker....

 

I've never stalled Fred?.....I must not be people.

 

thank you guys a bunch for all the info i feel a lot better now
