Blown tranny again!

Post by Binford »

Guess there's not much need to change my gear oil any time soon like I had been planning. :( Damn weather, and the lack of snow. :( Everyone else gets to play, but no, not here. We got enough to just tease me. Drift around corners, grab traction, drift some more, grab traction. I kinda hammered on my second gear tonight. Limped it home by starting off in third gear( took some doing to get the shifter to actually move first), and with a LW flywheel + unsprung 4-puck that ain't easy! :shock:

Afterwards, however, I was in a "I don't give a sh*t" mood, and went out and played ON a frozen swamp. I hit bushes (big), logs, rocks, fenceposts..........almost fell through..........but it was fun. I've never beat on anything like that before. Right now it seems I have first, third, and fifth gears. I had fourth, too, but I lost it. So, for the second time this year, I have 3MT in my SS. :evil:

This week has really sucked for me car wise. Power steering line decides to puke, so I've been without power steering(removed the belt so it's not spinning), flat 1 month old tire, get a nail in my doughnut spare tire, found out I need a control arm bushing BADLY, front wheel bearing seemed to loosen up?.............on and on. I need a theripist. :roll:

Heh, there's a club for everything, isn't there?!?! Yeah, I don't really like being in this club, though. I'd rather be able to enjoy my car, you know? :lol: I now have a total of four broken transmissions. One busted first gear, and three busted seconds. :x Tranny # five here I come!

Hey! What year is your Supra? I've got a buddy that's got an 87 that he's put some work into. Check it out.

Well, to join the blown tranny club (mine's an auto though.)

Had no reverse when I got it, except when it was REALLY cold. Then things started slipping. 2nd and 3rd would slip like a fat man down a whip cream covered slip n slide.

now, after i got it to work (not the shop work, but the other work) i go out to the car and try and start it... by the sound of it , 5 or so teeth were ground off my TC and there's tranny fluid pissing out of it... time for the 5spd swap...
stupid electrical work...
