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?

If i had never gotten into cars, i could still afford to eat.

there won't be any resurfacing of any flywheel. ours are rivited to the clutch

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.

If i had never gotten into cars, i could still afford to eat.

one more thing, how much would it cost to get an entirely new transmission? how the fuck can this cost this much? ugh

If i had never gotten into cars, i could still afford to eat.

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

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.
