we'll the unthinkable happened today...


I BLEW MY TRANNY!!!! turbo auto suck for performence... it was a rebilt turbo auto with 7k on it when i bought it. i think i blew the pump in the tranny.

so its time for the n/a 5mt swap. anyone have parts i could get for free that would help with the swap?

any help is very greatly appresiated.

what does the tranny do? any gears, reverse, etc? does it go into gear and then slip, or no gears at all? Could be you broke the flexplate, which is a relativley easy fix.

Ive got an N/A 5MT you could buy.
$400 shipped

ya none of the gears work. d,3,2,1. its got a quick clicking sound coming from the center more tords the front of the tranny.

its doesn't even engage in any. the motor just free rev's like its in nutral.

this up coming weekend me and my friend are going to do the swap.

heh its a good reason to do the swap now .

Broken Flexplate my friend. Bet the tranny is good.

flexplate, would that be part of the torque converter? (stuiped question).

yup, yup

man that would be awsome if it was just the stuiped torque converter.
how much do those usally run?
i can use one from a n/a auto tranny?
can they hold the power?

flexplate is ~$35. You need the turbo specific one, it's slightly smaller

well im going to start the long procese of disasibling my car.

starting with the interior stuff. wish me luck fellow enthusiasts .

i haven't been able to get around to workin on my car during these week days.

i just got a call from my friend saying that they want that car out of his yard. and im like wtf. so now i have to get a tow truck or call another one of my friends to see if they'll tow it . i called a good friend of mine to see if i can use his garage just for the weekend and he says ok. but just for the weekend. sigh, times like theses it really show's who your true friends really are. im planing on geting this project done this weekend. hopefully i will. and if not, shit ill just work on the thing in the street!


i went to the u-pull it in damascu's, and they where closed. 26 mile drive from my house. so off out there again tomarow.

Damascus? Are you in Maryland?

no, i live in Wa, vancouver but Damascu's is in oregon.


update: good news i wont have to move the car, they will let me do the work there. i also went to a couple of yards and found two good donators for my project (bolth are wagons). im picking up a flywheel and a stage one clutch down at RalliTek today and tomarow my friend and i are off to the junk yards for the parts!

yay!

well i stoped my ralli tek and they didnt have my things so. now im stuck with what ever the junkyard has.

well im dead tired now but got stuff done for the car.

i pulled : 122k mile manuel tranny with cross members, starter and
shift linkage
pedals & clutch cable
drive shaft
1 front axle

totaling cost $207. tomarow we're going back out there to get the rear diffarental, flywheel and clutch assembely. then we're going to start tearing my car down. ill post pic's tomarow of my progress.

so far so good.

dose anyone know what size socket the axle nuts are?

cool thinks.


im haveing truble figureing out how to post pic's.


but any who, i toke off my car so far: whole exhaust, intake pipes. now im working on geting the brackets off that are holeing the rear part of the drive shaft off. then im taking off the driveshaft, front axles, then tranny, then rear differental.

we're are having heavy rain and flood watch down here and im working in the rain.

thats how we do it in washington! lol


oh ya, when i toke out the atf fluid it was completely black. i burned her up.

we finally got the auto tranny out yesterday, but it toke a while because i didnt know you had to take the starter out.

i got the flywheel on and the clutch. now we're trying to get the manuel tranny on. its very hard, because we only have 2 little floor jacks and its not exsacly light eather.

i was thinking on going to the store to buy a engine lift.
anyone have any suggestions? tips?


thanks

A good floor jack does help. It may be worth buying one.

we went to a tool rental place and rented a very big transmission jack. got the tranny in but its on there crucked so tomarow we're going to try and strightin it out. i removed the rear diff also and tomarow im puting in the 4.11, driveshaft, front axles, mount up the shifter, then the pedals.


tomarows going to be a big day as normal. i really ne to figer out this pic' thing.

I may potentially be doing the same thing in my car.

keep us posted, my biggest concern is the pedals and all the neccessary items that go along with that.

the pedals are pretty easy, its just a really small space to work in. i removed my Auto tranny computer it get them in . they are on one bracket and it held in by 2 bolts and 4 nuts.



yesterday i got the tranny stright and i got the pedals in and the clutch cable on and ajusted. i also did a little wiring in the engine bay.
now im haveing a hard time geting the front axles in because i just unbolted and popped the lower ball joint out to get the axle out from the auto.

sucks!

today i got her finished. i acsadently broke the little hose that comes off the radiator so now she dran's watar on the ground. ive got to hook up my reverse lights and some other wireing but other then that. shes pretty quick too.


mission accompleshed.


broght her back from the grave. and loving every minute of it!

glad to hear it went smoothly, I'm gathering parts up to put my 02wrx 5mt in. with any luck it will go as smooth.
