Machy

so I’m driving home and I reach a stop sign so I stop and I go into first gear. I let off the clutch and it seems my car is having trouble engaging, it was jerking and even tho I was in first gear there was no power just a jerking movement as I tried to gas it. I look at my gauges and my car was overheating and the check engine light came on(I still don’t have the code). I look back on my rear view mirror and I see that I’m leaking coolant. I decided to leave the car on and use the momentum I had to make it to my house approximately 3 blocks away(2min). I opened my hood and My coolant reservoir was overfull and probably leaking. I had checked not to long ago and my coolant level was fine hours before this incident. I have no idea why my transmission wasn’t engaging and why my car was leaking coolant and overheating. If anybody can help me that would be great.

could be a number of things... jump under the hood and start checking stuff out

Yeah.. I can help you by telling you to figure out where the coolant leak is coming from and have the code read with an OBD II scanner.

Code is probably for over-temp. Jerking was because the car is in limp mode. Leak was from the res overflowing due to the overheating. Most common failure is the T-stat. Pull the code and get back to us.
