But what about the lugging/loading/stalling engine/transmission/diff/axles? This type of lugging/loading can spin an engine bearing! |

If/when the clutch does grab, the car moves forward - so what's the problem..?? Oh, I forgot to mention setting the emergency brake .....my bad. Now, with the brake set ...... when/if the clutch engages, the engine will stall. Haven't you ever stalled your car ..?? Well, I have, several times and the engine didn't spin any bearings ...... humfrz |

[QUOTE=humfrz;2916344]Well, now, if the clutch doesn't grab, the rest of the drivetrain won't move - so no damage to the drivetrain.

I managed to do this when (stalling) learning to drive in my hillman hunter many years ago. I also waterlogged a holden engine once and immediately took out the spark plugs and then changed the oil and filters (lucky no damage to engine). |

Your Holden was a Australian car. Both were most likely driven in Australia, which is in the southern hemisphere, where the water goes down the drain backwards. We are talking about a Japanese made car driven in the northern hemisphere, where water goes down the drain the correct way. EeeeeeeeeeGaaaaaaddddd ........ I'm starten to sound like @Scrappydoo .... me! Seriously, in my 69 years of driving vehicles, I've stalled dozens of vehicles hundreds of times and never spun a rod bearing ..... .....maybe I've just been lucky. humfrz |

We have water spinning the wrong way , the steering wheel on the wrong side , falling trees and jumping kangaroos , an out of control emu on the news.
But back to topic , water + cars = disaster , so if anyone enjoys mixing the two they should buy a boat instead. Last edited by alan.chalkley; 05-25-2017 at 04:55 AM. Reason: emu |

Insurance is covering any costs under flood damage thankfully. I tested some things this morning and all the issues were still prevalent.

I came upon a back road that I took every day and it was flooded ...... ahhhh, but I thought I could make it. WRONG! About half way across - chug-chug-stop. I placed my briefcase up on the higher jump seat, rolled up the pants legs on my 3 piece suit, opened the door and got out ......as the water rushed in. I walked to the "shore" where a nice fellow in a tall pickup truck was stopped. He had a toe rope and pulled my MG to shore. I popped the hood, took off my T-shirt and dried out the distributor cap and plug wires. That puppy fired right up ....... I reckon the water got to the distributor before the intakes to the carburetors ....... my "lucky" day. THE END humfrz |
