i tried to find one locally, we really dont have much here. i took it to the transmission shop a friend recommended me and he told me it would be 1000 dollars to replace the gears and it wasnt worth it. and yeah i dont have 1000 dollars.
so i got pissed and took the transmission off yesterday. im getting better at taking transmissions off this car thats one good thing.. (or is it?) grease under my nails is getting to be the norm...
oh yeah when i drained it, the plug had tons of metal shavings stuck to it and even a pretty large peice of rubber that looked like a piece of a rubber ring of some kind. so im almost certain that when i changed the oil a few days ago, the new oil must have been too slippery and the old oil must have been the only thing keeping the bearings from completely slipping and tearing apart...so after a couple days of seeming to be quieter all at once it just totally crapped out and i almost didnt make it home...
so anyway to wrap it up:
i have 2 broken transmissions. the one i just took off, and the one i originally replaced. the orginal trans got locked up in 3rd gear, and it was also making strange noises...but i dont think it has the bearing problems that the second transmission has. so im hoping i can take them both apart and make one working trans!??
anyone think i can do this??
