Hey we have a 99 es w/ about 80,000 miles on it

well n e ways, my sis tried to drive the car to work about 1/2 hour ago n she got maybe 100 yds down the road, and the car sounded messed so she turned around, pulled over n turned it off. Then she started it, put it in drive, and nothin happend. We tried every gear, 1, 2, n 3, -nothin. wut the F*CK is wrong w/ our G??? the tranny shouldn't be gone after only 80,000 should it?

Mmm have you checked to see if there is any Transmission Oil in it ???

I would check to make sure that the shifter is actually creating motion down at the tranny. Maybe some linkage broke/came loose.

The shifter is creating motion down in the tranny, but we had it towed to a nearby shop, the guy said everything on the outside looked good, and it had to be internal :cry:

you think your sis cranked too many RPMs?

**HeadAche** · 07-25-2003, 05:19 PM

I lost mine at less than 50k, but i raced it no biggie.. It doesnt really have anything to do with the rpms, could have burnt the syncro's..

The trannys are the weak link to our cars, I say its internally gone. When did you change the fluid last? And did you use Mitsu fluid?

jpmarzolf · 07-26-2003, 10:56 AM

The last time the oil was changed the guy said the tranny fluid looked fine n not to worry bout it

, but n e way we're gettin a rebuilt tranny with 19,000 miles n a 1 yr unlimited milage waranty - $1400 w/ installation, i thought it woulda been like $2000, but does that price sound right?
