Need advice and help!!! Involving tranny
Ok to make things short. I put a new clutch and pp in my car about 3 months ago. About 4 days after i replaced the clutch my tranny locked up in gear. Now its locked in gear but i can still shift. Some places it gets a little tough. When i let out of the clutch the car dies. No matter what gear i put it in. Will only run with clutch pushed in
Now when i went to check the tranny fluid it was bone dry. oouch
So iam assuming the tranny went. B/c the car worked fine for those 4 days after clutch install. it shifted perfect. What else could it be? I can get a used tranny for around 250 but i would be so mad and heated if i replaced it and the car still dose not work. Is there some thing else that could make this happen??
Thanks for your help.

Sorry, I can't offer you any concrete advice.
I don't know the symptoms of a tranny that's locked up because of no tranny fluid. I'm guessing it overheated, expanded, spider gears (or whatever
) locked up and now it's not really able to move any of the inner workings and shift. Either way, wait for a rotary guru.
I'd try a "Want to buy" posting in the for sale section to find a local tranny. Put a link to it in your signature. Postwhore in your local area section
I've never been to a junkyard - maybe that's another option for you?

Well if you acctually read my post you would have not posted that comment above. Not one time in my orig post did i wonder why it broke. Iam trying to figure out if its the tranny that went.
B/c as crazy as it sounds the tranny could be fine even with out oil. now of course its not good that it was empty but i just did some work on it 4 days before it went. so i was wondering if it has anything to do with the clutch install/pp or is this just a coninsendce.
thx smart guy.
sorry but that was a supid question to me.
