When i first bought the car, when i try to go from 3rd to 4th the 3rd gear would be stuck, and i would have to pull it out hard to 4th. This only happened time to time. So tonight im entering 85N, i go from 2nd to 3rd, and all i hear is CRRRSSSSHHHHH CRSHHHHH, i instanly go ohhh **** there goes the tranny. And yes, i lost 3rd gear. Now im looking into rebuilding the tranny, or buying another tranny. So if any of you on here that work in a shop, or own a shop, hit me up with a PM on your prices in labor oon rebuilding it, or if i buy a tranny how much would u charge for a labor. Yea i only had this car for about 2 weeks, no wonder why the guy sold it to me in such a hurry. ANOTHER QUESTION. Is it safe to drive this car after not having 3rd gear. I mean even when im in N i hear nockings in my tranny. So im guessing bad idea?
your third gear probably sheared all the teath off of the gear. now you have the metal teath floating around all in your tranny. not a good idea to drive like this it will destroy your bearings, could get stuck in your other gears or lock up a shift fork. you should get it fixed asap
liquid how much man, give me a reasonable price, im really not good with cash. And please dont tell me the tranny is goos this that, please be an honest person, unlike some people who lie about their stuff just to sell it. PM your number, i need a tranny ASAP
You don't have to worry about Liquidforce. If there is a person on here that has been honest and reasonable, it is liquidforce. I think there are any number of people on here that will vouch for him.
^^ Thx man. Im just tired of people saying good stuff about their parts/cars but when they know whats wrong with it and they are only trying to get rid of it. liquid PM me ur number so we can talk this out.
Here is the story on the transmission. I am doing a full STi into a WRX swap for a friend. He bought the donor WRX for a really good price. The reason the person sold him the car for so little was that the owner broke the transmission and had it replaced. Within 5k miles the engine threw a rod bearing. At this point the person just wanted to get rid of the car and was happy to sell it for the cost of what he had in the transmission. It now sits in my garage waiting to have some ppg's put in it. I'll let it go for 1k installed + your broken tranny or 800 + your broken tranny and you get it installed elsewhere. The transmission is in excellent shape but if you are one that likes to beat on a car then a 5mt is not you best bet.
hey man. so your saying 1000+my tranny and u do the install? If that is so..im up for it man. and i might throw in a lunch for you and who ever helps you out, and beer and w.e. you guys need to keep you company.
give me your phone number so we can make this official. or wana give me ur AIM so we can talk this over.
that's a screaming deal for that new of a tranny installed. And mike has probably installed more trannies than most Subaru techs.
yes, i am very happy with what he offered me. Now only if he would give me his number so we can talk this out and i can deleiver him the car. i got 1000 cash ready, + some money to spare on food and drinks on my behalf.
http://www.wrxatlanta.com/forums/private.php?do=newpm&u=18 here you go...he shouldn't have to do ALL the work for you.
He sent me a pm right after my first post. I think he may know how the internets work. brokenWRX I'll give you a call tommorow. We may also have to talk to a mod about changing your board name soon
mike, srry i missed ur phone call. I was at work, Im waiting for u to call me back. EDIT: I called back, and i dont think it was you that called. Some random shop lolz.
.......................still no 3rd gear................ ............zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz............
Unfortunately I am too busy to get the tranny installed in the time frame brokenWRX needs it done. The uninstalled price still stands he just needs to find somebody else to do the install.
LF, if it doesnt work out with your buddy, than i guess i can wait for the time frame that you want :/ Just let me know when its the earliest, im guessing its not anything under 2 weeks since you going on vocation.
Your best bet is going to be to take it to a shop. Call around and check with TopSpeed, Batlground or one of our local dealers. It may be more expensive but these people do that kind of work for a living. With the way my work schedule is I could never say for sure when I could get to it.
no need to call out the wrb dogs yet :rofl: I have a pretty good relationship with all the shops and dealerships. Just leave it with whoever does the work and I'll pick it up. I'll throw in a clutch and pressure plate at no charge. My guess is you'll need them if the prior owner beat on the car enough to break the tranny.
^^ thats whats up man. As soon as i find someone to install the tranny for me, ill come to you place and pick that stuff up. Ofcourse i will give you full amount, and you will get the tranny w.e. they take it out. Now my question is, how do i get your tranny to the shop/place where i will be doing the swap out. I dont have a truck Also, what type of a clutch are we talking about?
It is a stock clutch but thats all I recommend on a stock 5mt. It holds plenty. It has as many miles as the tranny. < 5k The tranny fits in the trun of a WRX easily. I can throw it in my car tonight and meet you somewhere tommorow if you want. I work out in Norcross.
yea, empty your trunk out and you have plent of room for the 5 speed....err depending what you are driving. Subaru trunks have room.
i may be able to do the tranny swap for you, i just need to clean out my garage so i have room to do it. i should be able to clean it out this weekend. and be ready for you next weekend. let me check my saterday work schedule tomarrow and ill get back to you
LF, i found a guy that will do a swap for me. I got to him by my friend who is like 35 years old, he said that the guy did alot of tranny swaps on his cars and other people. So i think i will be in good hands. Now, i want to buy the tranny tomorrow or Friday the latest. Because the guy will start the swap saturday afternoon. I got the cash ready for you, just lmk if you want to sell me the tranny tomorow or friday. I live on chamblee tucker exit 94 off of 85. If you are willing to drive to my house, i will throw in extra 20 bucks for the gass you waste. And if you want me to drive to your place, than pm me your adress so i can pull out the directions, thx buddy. And king, thx for the offer.
Well i finally met up with mike and bought the tranny. I must say, seems like a really nice guy. And ooh boy your WRX sounded so good when u left.
