Ok i bought a used trans for 125 bucks off a wrecked car. We put it in and i ran it for about 3 weeks until i blew the motor. Anyways while it was running the trans would grind in reverse and wouldnt stay in reverse and when i would hold it in reverse and shift to first while rolling it would grind. I couldnt shift from reverse to first while rolling i would have to stop completely for it not to grind. Ive heard to adjust the shifter linkages but we tried that. What else could it be? Could it be my clutch wearing out? Help me guys i need it.
sigh! The moral of the story be aware of wear dsm trannys take abuse but only for so long! Check out bmtranny.com and teamrip.com they are the two best tranny rebuilders Ive seen and reasoneable rates, plus they can go the extra mile to build it to your need!
