#8347, "RE: 40 miles on nv-t350 with no gear oil" In response to In response to 0
Originally posted by klaymonster I thought about it over and over yet never once did i test that there was gear oil in the transmission.... I recently replaced my broken trans with a shiny low milage 2005 neon nv-t350. I never had to open the gearbox, it was a direct bolt in replacement for me due to the hydraulic clutch bellhousing. I was Sooo certain there would have been no reason for the transmission to have been drained of its gear oil.. Until my engine started overheating. I fumbled with the coolant level and even oil level for an afternoon or two. All in all it got about 40 miles before i realized the horrible mistake I'd made. I got the 2 quarts of 20 dollar a quart motherf$%cking gear oil and it still seems to shift fine so I am quite happy about that... Well here is the question. What exactly in the transmission would most suffer from what I've put it through? Thanks all!
If no one has told you to replace your clutch yet. Id highly recommend it. Im in the process of doing mine... was driving in NEUTRAL when i heard the loud BANG of my clutch plate snapping... probable cause, no oil in the tranny. Sure enough when i drained it.. i got less then about 1cup of fluid from the tranny... removed the inspection plate.. clutch or most of it was sitting in the corners, resembling a birds nest.
I put so much pressure on my tranny running without oil due to leaks and never checking it the day i got the car... its been about a 600 dollar mistake....
