Well, my 92’s got 181,000 on it & the tranny input shaft bearing is getting rediculously loud. I put in a new clutch & flywheel not too long ago (mid-summer) and the noise has just gotten louder. My question is-if the car still shifts fine, and drives perfect aside from the repulsive rattling/grinding noise coming from the tranny, how long will the tranny last, and what will happen when it goes? and what’s a good place to buy a newly rebuilt tranny? Preferably somewhere that would take mine as a core to help drop the price a bit…
it wont last too long. mine was whining really loud and something in it blew out and all the oil drained out of it. this all happened the week b4 last and it still drove fine but on wednesday this week it decided not to let me get into gear anymore.
how 'bout a good place to find a good rebuild?
Chances are the input shaft is scored up pretty badly if it’s at the point where it’s making noise.
Honestly, it’d be cheaper to find another one, the input shaft ain’t cheap to replace.
