Better luck me ------- John in the *** than EVER buying a POS DSM made in ILL.

PS I don't swing that way either.

The weakest part in the DSM tranny is the center differential. I've spent almost 2000 dollars so far on rebuilding my DSM transmission...

Sounds like some bad bearings to me. It wont be long before they asplode and sent shrapnel everywhere in turn seizing all gears. But i dont know much about DSM trannies. I do know they do like to blow diffs and create tranny case ventilation.

So what's the vote, keep limping it to work or just stay home?

Yea keep driving. Who knows it could stay that way forever...


I had lost first gear leaving a dyno tuning session one time. It would keep popping out of first. Drove it on the pike all night, had problems with reversing into parking spots. Next day i lost all gears, finally got it in 2nd and drive it all the way home in a single gear. Good times.
