5 spd tranny - help
i need help identifying my tranny's problem. it's an 84s, 5 spd. it makes a horrible sound (very loud), then goes away when clutch is pressed. it will start to move in first and in reverse but will start shaking and the engine will die. does anyone have any idea on what i should start looking at?
thanks in advance... |

i just bought it in this condition. i knew the tranny probably had to be replaced, but i'm trying to see if there is something simple that could fix it first. i'm not all that familiar with tranny's, but i've been reading over the wsm.

Hey Steve,
Didn't Paul say the input bearing is bad in the tranny? My 83 5 spd has a bad input bearing as well, its real poke in the eye if its the same part that I need, best price I found was $377, previous year is $55 since its common to some 911 box. Its a big WYIT, but I would just plan on rebuilding everything from the flywheel back, Clutch, TT, and tranny. Other than a couple parts its not "that" bad, and almost 100% of the used 5 spds for early cars will need a rebuild. OTOH if you can find one that doesn't need an input bearing, thats $377 plus shipping you save. Also this is just a guess on my part, but bad input bearings go hand in hand with bad TT bearings. Just don't get ideas about putting the AT out of the other car in this one.  Nice to see you here visiting the exiles.

yah paul did say that, but he wasn't 100% positive, so i'm looking for other possibilities and getting educated at the same time. like i said before, with the engine rebuild on the 81 and this tranny issue on the 84, i will be a pro by the time they are all done. thanks |

i wasn't able to get under the car today (due to snowdrifts) but did discover that it does not infact stall because of the tranny (i guess i wasn't giving enough gas or something. and also, the problem does not exist in 3rd gear and above.
thanks |
