Passenger side replaced, car runs now. I can drive it, BUT the driver side still isn't turning,
The car is 1 wheel drive lol

Any suggestions? Going to transmission shop Monday thinking its the bearing inside the tranny because the axle had play inside. We could move it up/down left/right


If so how hard is it to replace how much should I be expecting to fix it?

Transmission shop diagnosed it as a bad bearing
It's 400 to replace it

So after this it should be running fine.

Ill keep it updated for whoever cares haha

[Malhar95]

Transmission shop called and said the differential MIGHT be the issue so 600$ is the total so far.
Is the shop just playin me trying to get money or does it sound like a real problem doagnostics

[Smaay]

600 bucks!!! dude you can find another transmission for half that

[Malhar95]

Yea that's what I though but then u dont really know what ur getting with a junk yard trans.

I don't understan how my differential is bad if one axles turning, i don't have a LSD so...
He said "I can replace just the bearing for 400 but can't warranty it Cuz a bad diff will made them bad again" bs or truth?

I dont understand why you need a transmission. Your cv axle is clearly malfunctioning, either its damaged or its installed incorrectly.

At first they said, the bearing that holds the cv on place is damaged so its not letting the cv stay in place and get power


Later said a bad differential made the bearing go bad

car came back today. apparently after the differential job, something suddenly happened and my torque convertor was apparently out. causing the the car to act like its in neutral once it heated up. when cold it would work fine but as soon as it heated up its like its in neurtal

few arguments witth the shop, and few days/weeks later. long story short, he rebuild most of my transmission and got me a 6month warranty.

for the car today, to-do list as of now is to replace brakes pads/rotors, replace control arm and get tires (it has 3 different sizes width and profile lol)
