Need an 86 tranny
As you may have read in my past post, I want to fix my Rx7. It is going to cost alot with all the problems it has, and I was wondering who has an '86 tranny (manual) for sale? Don't treat this as an absolute buy, but I am just looking to see what is out there. While I am on the topic of broken things, let me list what is wrong with my Rex.
1) Tranny, Driving along one day, and slowly lost every gear, including reverse. Maybe something broke in the tranny (it makes and awful sound if you realease the clutch at any time) or maybe it just a clutch problem? I don't know. But it sounds bad.
2) Secondary Full Injectors are dead. Can't put much load on the gas after 3800, when they kick in, so I assume this means the secondaries are shot ?
3) Car smokes from time to time, when revd over 6k. May have something to do with the tranny problem, however, the smokes comes from the engine - not cool at all. The engine for rebuilt at 202k, now has 268k.
4) Interesting voltage readings. Ever since I got a new Alternator (I didn't install it) I have been seeing some weird readings. If I am on the gas, sometimes it read almost all the way up on the Volt Meter, and the Oil Pressure gauge also goes all the way up. Not only that, but the lights seem to dim/brighten with the change in Voltage reading. Sounds really bad, like a $1000 electrical problem ?
That is all I can think of right now (yeah right, "all", lol) because the I haven't drove the car in a year. The tranny busted last November, and the car has been run from time to time (when I am home from school). However, last break I had between when I could start it killed the battery. Damn. Hopefully you guys can give me a brief idea of what is wrong with these things, and maybe give me an estimate as to how much it would cost to fix it all up. Yeah, this sucks totally, but help me out, I am missing my Rex.
