Looks like I will need a new trans. Somthing let lose inside an put a hole in the case right next to the fill plug. It actually still shifts through all the gears fine and only makes a rattling sound in all gears (might be only be because of low fluid?).

Not to sure on if I will have it welded up and rebuilt or just swap out to a used one, or upgrade to a jap spec with the different gear ratios.

Any sugestions would be great.

Thanks
Brandon

 

I'm pretty sure that I know what happened. A bolt backed itself out inside and got thrown around (Causing the hole).

Same thing happened to me, same spot. This happened to my old transmission. I simply pulled the back of the case off, pulled the bolt out (Put a new one in) and flushed the transmission. I patched the hole up with Liquid Steel and it worked like brand new.

 

Sweet, thats good stuff right there. I will have to try this as my first step.

I still might be interested in a spare trans though.

Thanks
Brandon



Lupe:
Did you remove the trans or were you able to take the back half off when it was still in the car?

 

I had to pull the trans.....

 

Kinda figured so. But had to ask.

 

Rootin for ya brandon!

 

I have one thats in pieces.

 

Intersting, why is it in peices.


What would you want for the peices, shipped.

 

I have my original. Worked well other than the 4th sync which would really only grind if you slammed it in. May not be for you, but thought I'd offer.

 

herblenny came through with a freshly rebuilt trans with 0 miles on it for me and is shipping it out to me as I type this. Thanks to everyone who posted. If somthing falls through I will get in touch with you.

Thanks again
Brandon

Might still be interested in parts for the one that is currently in my car.

 

Nice! Get that car back on the road .

I PMed ya on the transmission. Let me know if your interested.
