I havent had AAA since '05 when I bought my Hyundai since it came with free towing and roadside assistance. I just never got it again when I got rid of that car. If I need a tow I just call my friend. ---

my father had the same exact problem on his wrangler years back. It ended up being the neutral safety switch on top of the transmission. I think the switch was somewhere between 15-30 dollars. ---

GF had the same problem with 04 wrangler. Clutch safety switch became uncliped from behind the pedal… Dont shut it off until you get home! ---

I used to have the regular AAA membership and used it a few times but really 3 free miles isnt worth paying $30+ a year for. ---

He ain’t gonna bail your ass out then is he? I have AAA Plus. Haven’t used it yet, but I know when I need it I’ll be good to go. > [@Who carries Conti drive belts?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/who-carries-conti-drive-belts/27841/4): > > I used to have the regular AAA membership and used it a few times but really 3 free miles isnt worth paying $30+ a year for. I’m all for being fiscally responsible but dude…how cheap are you? That’s like pennies a day. Don’t buy a 6-pack next time and instead put that money into a jar for AAA. Or if you don’t drink, don’t buy something else you don’t need. The one time you break down far from your friend and home, you’re going to think of this thread. ---

Well hopefully I dont break down. The truck shouldnt be an issue and I never drive the car anyway and if I do its local. ---

I think the switch was somewhere between 15-30 dollars. the 96 has the expensive one on it thats like 3-400 bills on it if its a auto and like 200 if its a manual ---
