bigslim Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 I have a 85 GL-10 1.8 EFI 2wd 3 speed auto. The tranny just went out the other day (for the 3rd time), and I need some info about changing it. First the car is a POS that I drive to work so Im not intrested in swaping a 5 speed into it, Id just like to replace it with the same. I have found a used 3 speed for $300, is this an ok price? Also Iv been told to replace the toqure converter, why should I do this? I know about flushing the radiator so that any metal will not get into the new trans. I plan on doing it myself, so I thought Id rent a tranny jack. Any other advice, info, or links would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 $300 sounds a bit steep unless it comes with the converter and some sort of good warranty.. When I pulled the one from my 2wd turbowagon, I sold it for $40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrub2k Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Hell i paid $50 For a 3AT 4wd with torque converter about 5 months ago, and then i stopped driving the car and i still have the tranny, i would offer it to you but the shipping would be killer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
