29790, freaking out about tranny
Posted by 2good2drop, Aug-09-02 06:58 AM
guys i'm seriously freaking out. Just got the word from AAMCO, and he like actually had trouble giving me this quote... but he said that i would need a complete rebuild, bearing kit, synchros, clutch assembly, resurfacing of the fly wheel.. $2200 total, after i told him i was a broke-ass unemployed student he said $1980, but what the fuck!? i dont want to spend that much money (and cant) to fix a BUZZING in my transmission!!! where can i cut corners?

uhh...

so aamco would be charging me for something that they DIDNT EVEN DO? there has to be some catch there, they're a national chain they wouldnt fuck up that bad.

they might not know that our clutches are modular. i have no idea what the price would be for a new tranny

Here are your options: 1) ignore it. It doesn't sound very serious from the descriptions i've read of your problem.

2) buy a used tranny, install it yourself. You can pick up used transaxles for $5-600, sometimes cheaper.

ok i'm going to tell them to leave my clutch be... because i'm going to get a sport clutch in the near future (after this BS)... but should i also tell them to not touch the flywheel in addition to that, being that it is rivited to the clutch? and what does modular mean? thanks a lot for your help btw peterson

Thanks for the help.



RS-t

The trouble is not that players have sex the night before a game. It's that they stay out all night looking for it.

yes, if you have to just buy a used tranny.

Edit: if you are automatic then buy a manual or if you want to keep it automatic then do the Stratus Final Drive gear mod.
