I took my 1991 mits 3000 gt sl for an alternator that they replaced along with my battery, and post terminals. When I went to drive the car home it would not move! It seems the clutch had went out. The mechanic then said "oh yeah, the clutch did seem to be slipping". The clutch worked when the car went it to the shop. Is sears responsible for the replacement of the clutch? Any info would be helpful. Thank You Tina Clifford (702) 677-0384.

First thing is the clutch needs to be diagnosed as why it failed before possible blame can be placed.

Let me relate a story. We had a van in the shop for inspection that was in such poor shape that in not only failed but was not worth repairing. Not too often do I ever say that. So I get into the van to back it out, Pulled down on the shifter and I feel something pop. (Appearantly something inside the column had broke.) I just happened to be the guy that was the next one in line. IF the owner did it or Obama himself did it, it would have happened. My fault? I don't think so.

It turned into a fiasco and we lost in court.

What I am confused on yours is, you say clutch, but list it as an automatic transmission.
If it is a manual, that would have a clutch, then it should go well beyond 75,000 miles.

I would stay away from chains like sears.
