So Saturday night i was driving down 476 south bound and dont ya know a deer jumps over the center barrier and BAM right into my driver side headlight!! So i continued onto the valley forge service plaza where i find out that i can barely shift out of 6th gear!!! So i go to down shift and find out i cant get into 5th or 4th!!! Go to park and the seat belts locked up on us!! so onto the the damage!!!

DAMN! I'm sorry to hear that. This is why I hate deer

Teku18 · 10-25-2010, 08:35 PM

damn that sucks. glad your okay.

DC2.2GSR · 10-25-2010, 08:39 PM

That sucks. Sadly I see hits like that every...single...day. lol. It gets old. It doesn't seem that bad, mostly superficial. I don't know the specifics of that year civic, but there's no real reason the trans should be messed up. Unless you literally bounced up and over the deer and something meaty got stuck in the suspension or axles (lol... obviously not) then there should be no ill effects to the drivetrain.

well i was told that the clutch master cylinder was located in the front somewhere. but still that doesnt make sense to me because 1st 2nd and 3rd are fine. oh and the air bags DIDNT deploy!! no idea why but thats concerning to me!!

boostedfury · 10-25-2010, 08:55 PM

crap man glad you are ok and that sucks the big one. But that is what insurance is for!!

ambitiousCK · 10-25-2010, 10:08 PM

Damn, glad your ok. Hope you get everything fixed up.

jesse096 · 10-25-2010, 10:11 PM

AMF Racing · 10-26-2010, 02:18 AM

damn man sorry to hear. sounds to me like something got pushed back into your shifter cables. my vote is the air box "snorkel"

JST2KWIK · 10-26-2010, 03:09 AM

That sucks but I feel like hitting a deer at highway speeds could have been much worse... good thing it wasn't. Did you at least kill the deer?

tristatesentra · 10-26-2010, 09:08 AM

Your bags won't deploy from
That it's not how they work.

supraghost · 10-26-2010, 09:25 AM

with a hit that hard i would have expected some guts and hair on it... sure you didnt hit something else?

driftingrx5.7 · 10-26-2010, 09:28 AM

wow dude that sucks! glad you are ok!

Vr-4-Life · 10-26-2010, 09:43 AM

poor lil deer.

carsmoneynwomen · 10-26-2010, 04:35 PM

Damn deer.

95TurboDC2 · 10-26-2010, 05:12 PM

haha theres definetly hair and blood but not noticable in the pictures. car is fixable. just got off the phone with the adjuster and so far its up to 7000. they havent totally pulled the front end off yet so im assuming they might find some other small things wrong and i should have it back in 2 weeks. thanks for the kind words.

as far as the airbag deal i would have expected something to go off. what if it was a car that hit me there and i just sheared off of the car and kept going?

evomike · 10-26-2010, 07:40 PM

Airbag sensors measure deceleration

95TurboDC2 · 10-26-2010, 07:53 PM

aproxamently how much deceleration does it take for them to go off? wouldnt that mean since the seat belts locked that there was enough deceleration?
