Driving around 70MPH..all of a sudden I feel some weird vibrations..thought it was a tire...Hit the gas--idles! nothing behind it..
drop it down to 4th...fine..shift to 5th gear--all idles.. coasted home around 40MPH... shifts 1-4 fine..5th dead.. Replaced the clutch 2 years ago (about 30K) with a clutchmaster stage 1.. Now, how much u think this will cost me? Im bringing it to my mechanic 2nite..not sure if i should risk driving it there.. Celica GT 1995.. miles: 117,000 |

I was hoping u wouldnt say that. Its at the mechanic's now. Maybe it just needs a part or adjusting (prob not)..But Im not gonna waste my time thinking about it..
117K and trans goes..I doubt Ill ever buy another toyota again. My ford festiva has 170K miles- original tranny.. Any idea cost of a rebuilt tranny? Hell, ill put a junkyard tranny in... thanks for your advise.. |

Uhmm its really rare that a tranny goes out on a toyota like that. It may have been abused before. Get a used one for like $200-$500

dude, I've got 250k on my original manual tranny. Don't give up on it, it was probably just abused by previous owner.

When I watch NASCAR, they always say something like.. oh Jeff Gordon has lost 3rd gear, Cale Yarborough has lost his second so he's gonna have a hard time keeping up with the pack when green drops..
Maybe you've just lost a gear? -------------------- |

Mechanic said transmission is shot. He said it will cost alot more to repair the 5th gear, than to buy a used one. He said toyota made it very difficult to get to the areas to do repairs..
Well, I guess I will start looking for used trannys..$250 is what I feel like paying..car-parts.com has alot of used trannies.. I got a price of $350 used, 94 celica with 58K miles. 60 Day warranty. Free delivery. Place is 20 minutes from me. worth it? how much u think installation wil cost? This post has been edited by nitemare: Mar 31, 2005 - 2:25 PM |
