Ok, so i had a transmission die on me a few months back and picked one up off a local forum here in Austin, Dude PROMISED me it was in great condition minus a little leak he couldn't find.
I Swapped it and it seems to work fine the first two days no issues. Then it starts getting hard to select 2nd and 3rd SOMEtimes. I made sure the leakage cables where nice and tight, evenly adjusted and it seemed to help a tad.
One thing is it doesn't always happen which I think is weird. Some times it will Glide right into gear and sometimes i cant even get it to move at all!
But I was looking at the tranny today and noticed oil dripping from my tranny, sourced it to the shifter assembly that goes into my tranny that the shifter cables hook to. Is there any way to fix this, and Could this be a partial reason why its being tough?
I have a SlowBoy Racing 2300 Clutch kit with maybe 6-8k miles on it, and i made sure i bleed the clutch really well!
I cant seem to figure this out, and theres a Texas DSM shoot out in Oct that i was PRAYING i could race in, since ive never gotten to, and had to sit out last year too due to the old transmission!
Also can some one please help post pictures of the difference between the 1990 AND 1991-94 Shifter Cable mounting bracket ON the transmission?
And One more thing, Can someone source me a Transmission rebuilt kit, i have my old transmission still and figured id check out how hard it is to rebuild one myself!
Thanks in advance, I really need the help!
