[8urcivic]

well i found a 1992 eagle talon Tsi AWD for a good deal but the guy says first gear is broken so i was wondering if u guys knew where i could find a tranny for cheap???

thanks

order a Oem first gear and a new clutch package and go to a tranny shop and get um to replace it and overview it

are you sure 1st is broke or are you taking his word for it?drive it and go from there.

 

[8urcivic]

im just taking his word fot it because i havnt drove the car yet... but he says he just replaced the clutch so i donno...would i still have to get a new clutch?

 

[gurrmanator]

if the clutch is new then no.it could be just an adjustment.drive it

 

[kristmen]

How much does he want for the car? If the price is good, might be worth it to buy and send the tranny out to TRE or Shep for a basic rebuild which is around $850 ish.

850?!?! im only 16 and i dont really have that kind of money right now so is there any other cheaper alternative?

thanks

You won't know anything for sure until you drive the car. Drive it, or at least try, then come back and repost what it is doing. I'm sure the knowledge contained around here will diagnose it perfectly shortly after you post what it is doing when you try to drive it.
