cnc Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I have a 92 Loyale with 5 speed tranny and if I go down a hill in 1st or 2nd gear, it will fall out of gear. The feel of the detents seems fine. Why would it do that? Maybe I don't wash/wax enough and it's mad at me..... It has 160k on it. Runs smoothly. No tranny noises. cnc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Play in the upper shaft bearing. Sorry to say it'll on;y get worse. If you open it up now and replace the bearing it can be saved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikaleda Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Yep bad bearings, I would put in a u-pullit trans just in case it gets bad when you take it apart. It's hard to tell what the metal from the bad bearings could have done to the others until its apart they could be on the way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnc Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 Rats. Not the aswer I was looking for, but I appreciate the straight skinny. I am planning on yanking the engine out and resealing it soon, so that's an ideal time to do the tranny. I'm leary of a u-pullit, cuz it's an unknown. Are the bearings commonly available from bearing houses or is this a Subaru dealer thing? I'm not familiar with the gizzards of a Subaru tranny. Is the bearing replacement something I can do without spilling a gazillion little pieces onto the floor? Thanks, guys. cnc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
