byebye tranny
 

ok,my friends b16 swapped hatch just kissed his tranny goodbye.just looking for some input on what exactly might have happened and/or what coulda caused it.so if you can diagnose problems like this via internet,this is your topic 8)

3rd has been grinding for a while,but no biggy.he was cruisin down the hwy for about 10 min,then it popped out of 5th,and he heard it start to rev up,so he tried putting it back in gear,but it wouldnt stay in gear.he gets home,pulls the tranny,and finds that the differential was broke,seems as if the axle was the only thing holding it in there....

any input?besides he obviously needs a new tranny?

Re: byebye tranny
 

it depends on how bad he needs the car and how much money he has, to fix grinds just replace the syncros, and if it was just the diff, nothing else got messed up from it breaking, you could invest in an lsd either aftermarket or you can get an itr lsd on ebay for around 400 bucks

any possible reasons this could have happened?perhaps low tranny oil?

shitty lube, weak diff pin.
