Well either my clutch is either stuck to my flywheel or my tranny is jacked. It stock "in gear" I know for a fact the shifter is in neutral and even if the clutch is depressed nothing its still engaged. And yes the clutch pedal has plenty of pressure. I bought the tranny used and the guy said he did not put it in so he didn't know if it worked. So he gave it to me for $125. Anyhow I don't want to order the $350 worth of parts to finish my car if the tranny is shot which will run atleast another $500, I have a hookup at a tranny shop, so it might be less. But I owe money to my CC and a 2 friends, so i would rather clear up all my dept if i can't finish my car anyhow..... but graduation is within a month I should get plenty of cash for toys https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

So you can't put it into gear? OR you put in gear but nothing happens?



C

No he's saying the tranny is stuck in gear, but the shifter is loose in neutral. Which means there's a problem somewhere within the tranny its self and the flywheel.



Good Luck! and Happy Graduation!

yeah look at what the little fucker did to my windshield https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

another

hahah that was your birfday present.



Anyhow 3 hours later the tranny is down. Should have only took me an hour put the damn driveshaft was stuck... with the shifter in nuetral, should the input shaft on the tranny spin if i spin the driveshaft? Because it does, I don't think thats right. Is there anything i can have done when its rebuilt to beefen it up?

BUMP

i believe the input shaft should spin if you spin the driveshaft.



im thinking maybe it was your shift linkage itself and not the trans that was shot.



kevin.

it will spin in neutral, but you should be able to stop it.



mike

you could have a broken shift fork....i am having tranny issues as well.....see my thread in teh 3rd gen section, although they are not as dramatic as yourz...

ok will check into that

yes, in neutral when you turn the driveshaft it can turn the input shaft if theres no resistance, but you should be able to hold it still with your hand.



I think there are internal problems with your gearbox, I wouldnt suspect the clutch or anything external just yet. A shift fork problem could certainly cause it to always be in gear... which is what appears to be happing based on your description.

hahah thanks, I think it's a little too cluttered though. Got bored at work one day and started playing with gimp.



What did you do to bigturbos windshield?

i've seen one t2 tranny where the shifter bushings were so bad it kept getting stuck in gears. its got 197k on the motor now https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



mike

Well the input shaft still spins with pressure applied, while spinning the driveshaft, with the shifter in nuetral. So the tranny must be shot.

its possible its jammed in gear. take it to your tranny buddy and let him unstick it



mike

Was the trans placed with on the ground with the bell housing down. Was it bumped/thumped hard? The forks will go forward jamming it self in to multi gear ingagement. Take the trans and bump it on the drive shaft side vertically (place a block of wood on the ground) and then try shifting and turning your shafts. BTDT.

I stepped on it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...closedeyes.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif .. I'm just going to bring it in to the shop and have them look at it.

Its at the shop being checked out, I will find out the damage tommorrow

Well they said they haven't opened the whole thing, but the syncros and gears looks good they said. They said the will look have the whole deal open by monday. So I will know by then.

Kinda sounds like how mine was acting....



I took tranny out, and found pilot berring was torn apart. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png





But if tranny shop dropped tranny out and didnt see that, thats prolly not it. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/happy.png

Damn trannies! Hope my check will help you out w/ that! It won't be fair for the two conversions to race each other and one of them not get out of 2nd gear,lol https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png





My tranny has 12K on it...IT BETTER NOT ******* BREAK!

Thats what I forgot to check, I kept reminding myself to look at my pilot bearing again... I'm pretty sure its good tho... I pulled it out....

pilot bearing looks good.

replace it, they go bad
