okay what happened was.. i'm an idiot.

in my golf '95. drivin' thru my neighborhood at night. there are these driving techniques to better fuel mileage so i thought i try them out.


anyway. took it up to 3000 rpm. third then into drive. then shut the engine off. shifted to third 'cuz thought it might help me coast up the hill a little better.
but unfortunately.. shifter jumps.. so third to first.

so yeah. terrible squealing and almost stalls out for a second. and now when i drive in any gear there's a high pitched revving.. like a top about to take off into space.. and first is pretty much shot. i'm upset/pissed.. ..damn me.


guess i finally have an excuse to get something new.
