May 4, 200421 yr Front diff ran dry and stranded a friend of mine in her 1989 GL Sedan. Its at a shop here in Portland but they can't find a tranny for it. Anyone in the Pacific NW, can you help? Its got to be a known good Tranny! Thank you, GoatBoy
May 4, 200421 yr Author Its a non turb auto with FI, single range 4wd with push button on the side of the shifter.
May 4, 200421 yr i have one in an 82 gl hatch but im in the northeast but if u can get here an yank it out your welcome too
May 4, 200421 yr Author To bad your on the opposite coast. Dratz. I would offer her a 5sp DR swap but this is an older lady that just needs to get her car back on the road quick and she don't need to be hot roddin with a 5sp. LOL
May 4, 200421 yr I have a good tranny, but it's a 2WD tranny :-( Maybe they can swap the diff with the 4WD tranny? Only 4WD tranny I have has the same problem :-(
May 4, 200421 yr I have a good tranny, but it's a 2WD tranny :-( Maybe they can swap the diff with the 4WD tranny? Only 4WD tranny I have has the same problem :-( Wouldnt a 2WD 3AT bolt right in there?
May 4, 200421 yr Author How hard is it to swap the front diff guts out on this Auto Tranny? Is it worth the money I'll save? Or would be a pain and might as well just yank the whole thing and then put in an entire used tranny assembley? I can get a used Tranny for $650 or the Front Diff guts for $250 I just don't know if it is going be more headache than its worth to just swap the Front Diff guts. GoatBoy
May 4, 200421 yr I'm sure we could find a cheaper tranny than that. I know some JY's that are pretty cheap..... 650 sounds expensive to me. If she wants, I'll do the manual conversion for pretty cheap... cheaper than a shop for sure. Heck - I'll put in the automatic if we find one for cheap too.... only take me half a day. PM me. As for swapping the front diff guts....doesn't look like an easy job. You could attempt to pull the front diff out of a JY car just as an experiment, then you would have a cheap diff, and the knowledge to pull it and replace it.... GD
