so there i was driving normally drifting etc turned a corner shifted to second and the car jerked back then continued moving forward while making a loud mechanical banging this sound continues through all gears while the car is moving and when the clutch is engaged in neutral the clutch is working perfectly any thoughts o also i cannot go into second gear evean while stopped with the engine off all other gears work normal

 

now any thoughts

edit: i should add the noise it is making is a loud clacking that says gears are coming out and if you listen under the hood it is definatly the transmission not the clutch

sounds to me like your rear bearing got toasted, drain the oil and see what comes out.. but I might not know what i'm talking about, the only transmission I've taken apart is the one on my 720 nissan 4x4...

I meant rear bearing on the mainshaft of your transmission, usually when your rear bearing goes out you'll have a hard time shifting into 2nd, if it even goes into gear at all; when your front bearing goes out, it will be difficult or impossible to shift into 4th. that might not be 100% accurate but thats along the lines of what'll happen when a bearing gets toasted. drain the gear oil out of your transmission and see what comes out with it... good chance that if you toasted a bearing, it means a seal is also bad, a bad seal can cause bearings to fry and bad bearings can kill seals, so theres a GOOD chance theres not very much oil in your transmission and most of what comes out is all the sludge full of bits of metal and metal shavings that sits at the bottom.

 

if you rebuild your transmission rather than replace it, make SURE all the parts are clean and free of dust and shavings when they go back together or it wont last

 

edit: bearings tend to make ALOT of noise when they go

Manual trannys usually just wear out. Sometimes a gear will fail to disengage. If this is your problem, it will make noise in all gears except the one that is not disengaging.

 

In any event, the best way to fix it is not to. Throw it over your shoulder and put in another.

drain the oil and seive it, see if you find any gremilns that sank down to the bottom.

yeah listen to these guys... but best thing to do first is see what comes out

I would like your old trans if you opt to just put in another one. I dont want to buy it I will just get it out of your way. Ill also open it up at a later date if you want me to show you what blew up inside.

 

There is an xt6 at PNS right now but i dont remember if its an auto or manual. I want to say its the manual with diff lock.
