[QUOTE="Keola P, post: 1017314, member: 67013"] Thanks for all the input guys, its much appreciated. Like I had mentioned, I used the lower gears going down that particular street without any issues previously. I always thought it was safe practice to use lower gears going down steep inclines. This particular street is notoriously steep with lots of sharp turns. JohnZ, to address your comment I wasn't going over 15-20mph before shifting into 1st. I slowed, shifted to 2nd, slowed more, then shifted to 1st. Then the tapping/knocking noise occurred after the lowest gear engaged, then the engine stalled. Tried starting it up again and it only clicks once. Engine doesn't turn over at all. Had to get a tow truck to pull it home . [/QUOTE]
