1-3-2-4 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 So today when getting off the highway to make a right turn to get lunch the whole transmission gave up with a large scraping and judder.. I had no forward.. and in park the car still kinda made the sound in reverse I could move a little but then that soon went.. OK so I need a new transmission.. I've pulled 2 5MT's out before not too bad but (not a fan of auto's) I've never did a auto before and all I keep hearing about is the TC and how not to let it slip out and all.. and since I'm going to be dropping the transmission I'm trying to figure out the best way to go about it?

rverdoold Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Did you check the trans oil? If the TC looses oil it will stop working, and you loose drive. The pressure in the trans could be lost by leaking cooling line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 It's something very metallic sounding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Make sure a cv axle didn't fail. Remove trans and install another one. Try to keep TC seated but always check it and reseat if necessary. You can read up tips on how to do it. That being said - since you're replacing the transmission it doesn't matter if you keep it seated or not when removing. You'll be pulling that TCto reuse or using the TC that comes with the new trans. Personally I'd use the new transmissions TC if you have no clue what transpires in your old trans. So you'll want to verify the new TC is seated. Flexplate and TC should never touch once engine and trans are bolted together. With that in mind you can measure distances and check before you install if the TC is fully seated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 I know both boots ripped.. before it failed.. it would make this speed depended sound when costing off throttle but never on throttle.. or if you went up a hill off throttle it never sounded.. it was like a light tapping sound.. If a CV (inner I suspect) failed how would the CV axle feel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairtax4me Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 That sounds like a cv axle broke a while ago and the rear wheels were doing all the pushing, now the rear transfer drum has sheared off or the transfer clutches have worn totally out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 The cv axle is solid albeit broken boots but not flopping around or disconnected in any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 could a u-joint be broken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) Checked that too Definitely sounds like it's around the rear half of the tranny with the metal sound My understanding is a full empty 5 EAT takes around 10.5 qts? How much does the transmission weight dry? Is it 210 something? I can't seem to find much info at all about it..
