Is this your first manual transmission?

Youre very obnoxious and you aren't helpful or smart.

My Camry and my tundra are both manual. The Jetta tdi I had before my Camry was also manual.

The Acura Cl I had before that was also manual.

I take fastidious care of my cars, and I work on them a great deal.

The BAD starter, The BAD battery, The BAD starter relay and the BAD positive battery terminal wires are the reason the car stalled while driving down the freeway.

Not the manual transmission.

I cant tell if youre trolling me at this point, but talking to you is a waste of time. LOL

I was just trying to determine if you knew how to push-start a car. When my battery wouldn't start my '81 El Camino I was able to push-start it so I could get back home.

I didn't say any of those things. I was saying that if your engine didn't turn while trying to push start it then it has seized.

I was just trying to find out if you knew how to push start a car. The bad alternator is probably the reason it died on the freeway as you were running on pure battery power.
Hopefully a GOOD starter will solve your problem.

If you took fastidious care of your cars then you would have noticed your battery light coming on to warn you that there was an issue with the charging system. If you were smart you would have purchased a NEW starter as there are no New Denso starters available for this generation of Camry. Re-manned starters and alternators are a crap shoot. Looks like you crapped out.

LOL, that's an interesting take considering that the battery light never came on.

And like I mentioned, and you didn't bother reading, I wanted to fix the problem immediately, so I purchased the starter that was in stock at the store vs waiting 3-4 days for something to be delivered....

problem is solved already.

Thanks for your help you obnoxious queer.

You are truly an a**hole and have a lot to learn. My questions were merely to determine your level of expertise which is obviously low.

LOL your version of 'helping' was asking me if I knew how to drive stick. Youre the a$$ hole around here, partner. Im a shade tree tinkerer who enjoys working on my cars, ive done a lot of stuff on both of them! Im not a mechanic, and when something is outside of my wheelhouse, I defer to their experience... thanks for your snark and stupid questions though! Reminded me how ridiculous these forums can be a lot of the times. Happy New years, loser.

Once again you put words in my mouth. I asked it it was your first manual because you didn't respond when I asked if you tried to push start it.....and that's when you came back with the obnoxious remark. It certainly wasn't meant to be. It's unfortunate that you took it that way.
I've been on these automotive forums since 2003 when I got my first FWD computer-controlled car and I learned a lot between them and now YouTube as well. Most people are thankful for the help but when you start hurling names you had better expect to get it back.
I hope you and yours have a Happy New Year!
