I broke the tranny



I did a nice burnout a couple weeks ago after going out cruising and parked the car. Its been snowing and **** so I havent messed with it in a few weeks. I started it up the other day, put in in neutral and let out the clutch...It jumped foward and stalled. I pushed the clutch back in and started it back up. I eased the clutch out and the car moved foward. I drove it up the driveway and turned around. It was making a really loud clunking/whirring noise. It seemed to get better as the car warmed up...after 20 min. of running I could let it sit in Neutral without it moving/stalling but the engine still had a load being put on it.



Whats broke? Input/output shaft, shift fork, gears?

Maybe I should just PM Vosko

sounds like something to do with the forks, like it's allmost in neutral, but just a tad bit still in gear, but doing a burnout won't bend forks. I'd guess a shaft is twisted, causing the tranny not to dis-engage gear completly. Interesting though how when the fluid gets warm and thins out, it's not as bad.

I'm gonna pull it apart and check it out before I buy a new one. But I very well may need a new one.
