The alternator snapped off as we were driving down the road in my 1998 Olds Cutlass. The bracket that holds it in place actually snapped in half. After it was fixed the car started jerking while shifting through gears. The transmission was checked and is good (boot was replaced). No one can figure out what the problem could be. One technician said he thought a couple of wires might have been crossed but he wasn't sure? Does anybody have any idea what it could be? Also, since the alternator was fixed, the anti-theft system has been locking me out of the car and preventing me from starting it at times. Could these problems be related? Is there any way to disable the anti-theft system on my car? The check engine light has not gone off since the alternator was fixed either. The tech who ran the code said nothing came up as wrong.
I asked this question before and everyone said to go to Autozone, but the "local" Autozone is about 150 miles away.
