transmission stopped working.

[pinoy724]

I'm waiting for my tranny to go so I can go manual.

[amdrocks]

so you're saying that it just went dead suddenly without signs or warning?

[WhiteGalant]

I got 167 and still going strong on my AT and I beat the shit out of it lol

Yes, I drove it to the toll booth stopped for 30 seconds and started again. Got up to 60 mph and it lost drive. Mechanic called and said it was related to a spring by the pump that goes bad and causes it to not pump. They said total trans rebuild by another shop. I am having them look into a used tranny. Remove and replace of trans would be about $600.

[amdrocks]

damn.. that sucks.. i hope it works out for you

why dont you join me in the 5-speed club Keithert? lol

mine was like this up until I pulled it out.

I thought it broke a few months ago cuz the car got loud all of a sudden, but it turns out my exhaust rusted out and the trans worked fine. this wasnt obvious until I changed the exhaust and put a V6 TB on.

I've got a 6 speed in my Miata. The Galant is for when I don't want the hassle of a stick! The repair shop found a local company that will do a rebuild and give it a one year warranty for $1895. Not sure if I want to put that into the car. It's 9 years old now and has 112,000 miles.

unless you got the 2g's stuffed in a wall to drop on it i wouldn't, you could get a used tranny for a 3rd of that and have some friends help you put it in, besides geting the car far enophe off the ground to get the tranny off and out it's realy not that hard.

[keithert]

I searched on car-part.com for transmissions and saw a lot of 100k trannys for around $1000.

[keithert]

I decided to get mine fixed. I agonized over the decision because I would like to get something else, but the time is not right. Plus as is the car is virtualy worthless. I figure that if I sell the car in a year I'll at least get back what I put into the tranny repair plus I get to use the car for that amount of time.

I feel you my friend. My VW Passat had the tranny die on me a few weeks ago. $3K to fix so I bought a $2K galant instead to get me around quick. The VW is sitting in the parking lot waiting for funds to get it fixed or i'll just sell it as it is, got too many other problems anyway. I just hope I dont get double whammy with the galant, it has 115K miles already altho it drives really good.

[keithert]

I had my tranny fixed and it seems to be working well. It cost $1900 and came with a 2 year guarantee. The problem now is that I'm paranoid about something else going wrong with the car and having to put more money into it. It does seem to be running well though.

[dknight3]

oh dear, u guys are scaring me now.. how many miles do you have on ur G? mine has 104000 miles and i m going for a roadtrip soon.. don't want any troubles man..

130k miles around
there was a cracking when going into reverse gear, im not sure if this is related though.

[bronxbombr]

noise like that, ya tranny is done
