so randomly today i started getting nasty banging noises from the transmission on my beater... i was near home, but HAD to make a trip 90 mins away and back.. so i babied it and made it (barely, i think).
after not too long i could no longer engage 1st or 2nd at all... so i was driving city streets starting in 3rd gear. any time i had it in gear while cornering, the banging and grinding kept happening... i'm pretty sure the diff is trashed, one way or another.
sooooo, its time for an unexpected engine/tranny swap this weekend. i'll take some pictures if theres anything worth seeing. the subframe bolts are messed up so i cant drop the tranny out the bottom...so i'm just gonna drop in a lower mileage motor with one of my spare trannies. wish me luck.. i need to drive this thing to work on monday! lol
