blew my trans..

Yep. sunday i was headed up to backwoods bash. And i was probly 30-40 minutes from my house. and i started hearin a noise.. low pitched whine, started gettin louder and louder, Adn bam.. truck wouldnt accelerate anymore.. TRied puttin it in gear, and moving, and it just made some horrible noise.. SO i thought i blew my clutch up. beacuse my buddys 240sx sounded the same when he blew up his clutch. And i knew my clutch was on the way out.

so i dropped the tranny. and the clutch was still pretty much intact. it looked worn, and hte pilot bearing was disentegrated basically. But the disc and pressure plate looked alright.. Definitely looked worn, but not as bad as i had expected. so i bought a new one this morning.. and just playin around with things, i slipped the disc on the input shaft of the tranny, put the shifter in 1st gear, and turned the input shaft. i put my hads on the tailshaft, and it would catch, and spin then stop.. then catch again and spin then stop for a while, then catch.. etc... Did this in every gear.. i noticed the input shaft felt a little loose too.. I think somethin is seriously shot in my trans. so now im pissed.

If you were closer i'd sell you my transmission i have - but im all the way below philly . Unless you feel like takin a ride .

Join the club my trans just went out to

IVE GOT TWO EXTRA ONES BUT IM IN AL., IF YOU WANT HIT ME UP

this would be the only reason id want a 86-93 mazda

WHYS THAT

because motors /trans for pre 86 are hard to find .

yes sir, and taking risk on buying things on are sketcky cause im unavailable to go to that place and see the product im buying.

And ive been burned on that site to, bought a shaft from the guy said the u joints were fine and it was the correct length, i get it the joints are shot to hell, and the shaft was 4" to long.


It took me 2 months to find a driveshaft for me, but i have plans for the mazda dont worry.

its cool. i found a guy local on myspace who has mad mazdas, he said he has like 8 trannys layin around. so he said he'd sell me one for $175. so its not a bad deal i guess.. Just means my trucks off the road for another week.

must be nice, haha sweet any progress on the sheetmetaling the bed?
