srr3737 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 About a year ago I replaced my 5 speed (bad bearing-woudnt stay in 4th) with a newer, clean, low mileage junkyard tranny. Now it seems to have a bad bearing also. It makes noise in neutral and in 1st gear with less noise in the rest of the gears(input shaft bearing?- noise goes away with clutch disengaged) -Are these trannys that weak ? I have fixed a 4speed corvette tranny before- but it sounds like a pain to set up the diff on the awd gearbox-any suggestions/comments. I drive it fast on long road trips but not abusive. thanks scott in portland OR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srr3737 Posted November 27, 2004 Author Share Posted November 27, 2004 Anyone got a used one for less than $600 (WA,OR, n.Cal)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setright Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 If the noise goes away when you disengage the cluch, it's the gearbox. The early Legacies had weak main bearings, so you probably got another weak model at the junkyard :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
