went ahead and ordered the tranny from the link Velo supplied. Thanks again for the link! Going to pick up a ACT clutch from a guy who just wrecked his ride so least Ill get something "performance" out of my tranny issues.

 

Are you still driving the car now? How long can the car limp around with this damage, anyone know?

 

My trans is doing the same thing. It is the input shaft carrier bearings. I've been driving mine for about 3 months now with it making that clattering noise every so often. Usually, it's most notable while city driving, but it's not all the time for me. A friend of mine, Tim Zimmer is a DSM guy, he rebuilds these transmissions, I've put up his site before TMZ Performance. He told me as long as I don't beat it, it should last a while. Meaning no 2nd gear 4500rpm launches or anything like that.

FWIW -- I drive 70 miles a day back and forth from work, mostly highway @ 75mph and really don't have any issues. I'm going to hold out until spring and summer.

-- just got my Endevor TB -- giddy up!

 

Velo it sounds and feels so badass when you get it on and go for a drive, I couldnt keep my wheels from spinning haha

 

The car still drives perfectly fine just clunks alot. Currently tryi g to get an act clutch locally for decent price

 

So with mits. having t s b for this situation would they replace do to this? Is thqt all that has to be replaced, should i replace it before the issue starts. Also I believe it was input shaft and other things also can't seem To find the post now. On mobile. I've driven on the bearing for about 5mnths about now. But did notice not to long after it started seal went on it ands leaked pretty good. Luckily I get free gearoil.

 

Damn free gear oil? Hook that up!haha

 

eh where do you live? lol It's redline racing synthetic not sure how it stacks up to the synchromesh that everyone recommends here. But until I feel like I want my new engine and tranny in that's what I'm gonna use on the constant fluid exchange :P . I'm gonna be using the Synchromesh in my next tranny for a bit first to try it.
