Well, after getting my AC compressor replaced and hail fixed, i finally got to take the car to the shop for the tranny prob. It needs a full rebuild, at least the bearing kit, maybe more when they open it up. I want to drop an ACT clutch in there while it is open, but am not sure i can afford it.
anyway, i will update you guys on how things go, it goes in on monday and should be done thurs and fri at latest.

i will be VERY happy to have my car back (been stuck with a protoge and wrangler for 2 weeks already!)

 

that sucks, how many miles did it have on it? Please say 100,000+

 

 

just about to tick over to 80,000

 

dam...sorry man, Mad Dhan that **** looks tight....u drop prices?

the trans i'm getting for conversion will have 54,000 miles...if i put roughly 10 to 15,000 miles a year, and our trans last the same, i should have about 2 years on it...enough time to prepare for bad bearings or anything....

 

Aww, and I was hoping the bearing problem was more prevalent starting 97 or so. Sorry to hear it happen to you. If I was you, I woulda printed out all the info on motorvate.ca and in ericdwong's posts and made sure the mechanic(s) read it all. Especially after seeing what happened to old dude on motorvate.ca....that'd be a nightmare to me.

Good luck, hope it gets back soon.

 

yeah, ericdwong and i have been speaking quite a bit, and i dont think there is anything that can be done other than a rebuild..... oh well......

 

That sucks man, I have 154,000 miles on my 95se 5sp and the only thing starting to go out is the clutch....
