first off i just got my new car like two weeks ago. iwas soo happy until i put it on the lift and realized the c.v. boots are torn and two blown struts(not so bad... sprint agx on the way). then a couple of days later it starts to not want to go into 3rd easily when accelerating quickly and grind for a second. now it wont go into reverse!!!!! to top it all off my alternator is going out and it surged and blew out all of my driving lights!!! g#$ d#&% son of a #$^##^%##^#$^#%^#%$^!@%!^
sorry for the ranting.

anyways what do you guys think is wrong syncros, clutch, gear. let me know what you think. i'm sick of thinking
thank you

please help me

 

this gives you a great excuse to get new struts, springs, clutch, and all that other good stuff. remember, a 95 is almost 10 years old now, routine things are going to start breaking. good luck

 

My car wasn't going in reverse, so I had to get the tranny rebuilt. Mine's an auto, not sure about yours.

Get new axles from raxles.com or buy remanufactured ones from AutoZone or something. Then get a new suspension and you'll be fine for now.

I got my car like 3-4 months ago and I already had lots of repairs:
Axles (Remanufactred) $235 w/ labor
New tires ~$250 shipped and installed
New A/C pulley and belt $90 w/ labor
New suspension, springs, and a few parts replaced (plus tuneup parts) ~$550 parts plus $150 labor (did tuneup myself - had shop put in fuel filter)
Tranny rebuilt $1000

Good Luck!

 

i'm just waiting for everything to fail at once on my 96 with 140,000 mi.
but, then again i've been waiting for a bout 60,000 miles now!

 

i just ordered a act clutch, sts, and shift **** from southwestautoworks.com. hopefully that will solve the grinding problem. as far as the suspension goes i ordered agx and sprint from them also. so that takes care of that............ hopefully

 

if you are going to do the clutch yourself this will help...

i could be wrong, but im pretty sure new struts wont take care of the c.v. boots.

 

T!HS 0N......
they are putting in new cv boots when they put in the new suspension

 

act clutch is wierd and makes the car shake I got used to mine but dont recommend it should of get a Clutchmaster or something else.
