Support Corgi Taco's Urgent Car Repairs Needed For Work

Hi everyone! My name is Aaron or Corgi Taco as you may know online and I am a Minecraft mod developer in need of urgent financial help pertaining to car fixes that I cannot afford to do myself due to bills and other living expenses in my day to day life.

For about the past year my vehicle has been experiencing "slipping" and "limping" when driving it after sometime making the vehicle very unreliable and unsafe to use for longer commutes. Below are some videos, I took myself of the issues. (Make sure to turn the audio all the way up!)



As time went on, my 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage's commute window began to narrow down more and more to the point where the vehicle cannot be driven for more than 15 minutes before it begins to slip and fail to accelerate to a reasonable speed, making it very dangerous to operate on a highway.

The error code the vehicle throws is a p0841 code. Reading online for solutions we have made every attempt to try and fix issues that do NOT involve taking the vehicle to a transmission place and being charged an outrageous price when the vehicle itself likely will cost less. I mean for crying out loud I got quoted $4000 dollars to replace the vehicle's transmission...

The only bandaid solution to this problem currently is to power off the vehicle and let it sit for a few hours to rest(cool down) before driving it again.

Now what have I done about this to fix it?
  • Change transmission fluid and both filters 2x
  • Oil change
  • Coolant drain and refill
  • Throttle body replaced

These "fixes" of course have yielded no fix to this issue and now have unfortunately dried up my savings.

Why is this gofundme important?

This vehicle is very important in my day job which is being a USPS Highway Carrier which requires me to use this vehicle to deliver letters and packages. Not only that, I have to commute half an hour to get to work in this vehicle via residential roads 2 cities over. By the time I get to work and head put for deliveries the vehicle is slipping when accelerating and going limp on other occasions while I make my stops along my route.

This gofundme will also offset the costs and financial burden this vehicle has already put on my bank account. (As of writing i have 2 dollars in the bank bc of these repairs) This will also cover the required upcoming future repairs I need to make on this vehicle in an effort to not have to go the nuclear route of having to buy an entirely new vehicle. (This vehicle is worth less than dropping in a used transmission and/or rebuilding it...). I would really prefer not to do that.

Thank you for reading and I hope you'll consider helping me.
