Then again, driving your car in certain areas wouldn't be legal since there is a speed limit, and there is such thing as going to slow... so I don't know. I'm not a brainiac when it comes to cars, the most I know is what type of car is what, but shouldn't you get the car checked out by the dealership/mechanic people. My older brother is a great mechanic, but he doesn't live with us so I can't as him. Though I do know one thing, it isn't going to be an easy fix. [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]

If it is a manual, it could just be a slave cylinder leak that won't let you get any faster,but that is the $300 fix as opposed to the $1200 fix that is a transmission. It could just be a gasket. Check all of your fluids. Put a piece of paper under the car and see what color leaks you might have. If its pink, its transmission fluid. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]
