Hello everyone,

My tranny starting to get noisy and I'm looking for a good used 5-spd. Anyone got any leads.

try www.car-part.com

 

nice wheels. make sure you check the BBB of any junkyard you're going to deal with out of state. i got burned by one on a ve 5speed trans.

 

BBB? +10 char

 

better business bureau.

 

Thanks for the link. It listed one in Shelton (31 miles from my home). I got my fingers crossed.

I have the Z tourings though.

 

is your current tranny an auto or 5 speed? if it's a 5 speed, it's probably your input shaft bearing and with just a little more work and/or skill, you can crack it open and fix it for $20.

 

I worked as an auto mechanic for 7 years although it was mostly Saabs and Volvos so I got the skill. Do I have to remove the tranny to replace that bearing? Im also worried that all the metal from the bad bearing could be tearing everything else up in there.

 

What size tires are you running on yours? Is your car lowered at all?

 

245s front / 225s rear. OEM sized tires.

Sig has mods

 

yes you have to remove the trans and take it half apart to replace the bearing but its pretty easy if you have an FSM

theres a magnet in these trans that collects most of the debri

 

so when do u think the FSM will show up on the web or as a sticky for us?

this repair is something i've been "planning" for sometime.....guess i should probably find of these fsm's....
suggestions? i.e. reputable places - i looked on ebay and i'm not too confident buying something like this there

 

The FSM is copyrighted material and the opinion of the owners of this board is that it will not be stickied due to copyright infringement laws.

 

but folks have posted scans of various pages in numerous other threads...oh well..was just expecting some consistency...i suppose that's the beauty of being the owner - u get to make the rules and decide who gets to play...

i was actually just being facetious in my first post on this matter

 

i'm not an owner.

BTW it looks like I'm going to sell my FSM if anyone is interested

 

What do you want for your FSM?

 

dunno, I can't even remember what I paid for it 2 years ago.
it's been sitting just about the entire time, My car was that reliable

 

Im not sure what they are worth, but how does $20.00 sound to you?
