WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be Good
 

So I made a thread a few days ago about a hard hard metal on metal grinding form my fromnt end, it wasnt a constant noise but more of a spiratic here and there for one second here one second there type of thing

I noticed my drivers axle was kind of out of the tranny, maybe 3/16" or so of shinny metal showing. So I figured I just didnt install it right

So today I take the drivers axle out and I literally just popped it out with one hand, just pulled and out she came, there was no c-clip on the end of the axle. I dont remember seeing it or not or did it fall off in the tranny?

Also a few pieces of whatfeels like plastic came out with it, there in a circular shape, light brown colour and would probably make a 2" diameter piece that looks like a castle nut if it was fully formed (but only about 1/3 of the piece fell out.

Also a bit of what seemed like a ------- sos pad came out, all bundled up and clumped together with the plastic piece

I feel in the tranny and nothing feels weird so I proceed to reinstall the axle,
grab another clip, put it on and reinstall the axle, took a few good shoves to get it in there and I couldnt pull it back out so I was satisfied and put everything back together

So everythings back together, wheels on the car and its jacked up. I spin the drivers side wheel and it turns no problem then stops, turn it back the other way and it stops, like it kinda locks, you can overcome the stop with a good bit of force. Kinda weird

I spin the passenger side wheel FORWARD and the drivers side wheel doesnt move. I spin the passenger wheel BACKWARD and the drivers wheel starts rotating backwards

I have no idea whats oging on, figured Id go for a drive.

So in reverse down my big driveway I hear nothing, purring like a ------- kitten, no noises no nothing

As soon as I start moving forward ---- hits the ------- fan and theres the griding again, goes for a sec then stops, goes then stops, shift, little grind. Slightly different noises everytime to. When driving part throttle you can feel a kind of clunk in the shifter, like somethings hitting it.

I dont know what else to describe. Is it the axles? Tranny? Install? Somethings screwed and I need help, I need to drive this car

Thanks guys

sounds like somethin's rollin around in the tranny. pull the case apart and have a lookie

Re: WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be Good
 

Nothings "rolling around" its a grind from something. Pulling the case is my last option, the tranny was absolutely mint last year when i took it off my other motor so I dont think thats the case

Re: WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be Good
 

theres a noise comeing from my front end and ---- fell out of my tranny but that cant possibly be my problem! :1

Re: WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be Good
 

I dont know man, no chance it could be the axles or they might just be mint?

I dont wanna pull the ------- tranny, I just for the car put back together and the tranny was mint on the last setup

I dont wanna do the tranny and find out its something else

Gonna be hard as ---- to find a tranny around here to

Re: WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be Good
 

highly doubt its an axle,

trans is coming out buddy wether you like it or not.

Re: WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be Good
 

Only when the car is in gear it makes the grinding noise?

Re: WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be Good
 

Alright ---- it, this cars the biggest money pit

I cant even just find any old d16 tranny either can I? Ive got a 6 puck sprung clutch that I absolutely must keep

The car is an 88 Crx Si, the trans I believe is a 89-91 I'll have to check my pm's for what lsd mike told me

Finding a crx tranny around here could take freaking weeks

Re: WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be Good
 

do you seriously think anfter pulling plastic, metal, and sos pads out of your axel hole, that the trans coujld possibly be okay ???

Re: WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be Good
 

hahahaha

Re: WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be Good
 

^^^^ that's sig material right there

Re: WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be Good
 

sounds like you broke something off the differential... plastic and metal???

i can see the plastic beeing the gear that drives the speedometer, thats hooked up to the differential

and the wheels locking or not wanting to turn easily, that might be the spider gears in the diff... i cracked one last year at the track and drove around for a week like that until it finally ate ---- as i was turning into my street.

might want to tear the tranny apart, and just go to the junkyard and replace whats broken or missing, unless its cheaper to just get a new one

wheres the picture of the broken ----

Re: WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be Good
 

wtf is a sos pad? is it like a maxipad ;D

Re: WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be Good
 

I hav no idea where a plastic ring looking like a castle nut would look like

Re: WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be Good
 

Well I was just trying to beat around the fack that I have to replace a tranny, Im sure its gonna be such a ------- bitch to drop and install

Now I dont even know what trannies will bolt up

The car is an 88 crx si, has a d16a6 motor and is using a 89-91 clutch specialties 6 puck clutch and 12lb flywheel

Do I need a crx tranny or will others bolt up with what ive got here?

Re: WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be Good
 

you just need any d series cable tranny from 89-91...88 was a funcky year I believe so if you don't have that tranny in there you have many options, get a dx or hf tranny for cheap and get your repaired

Re: WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be G
 

This seems like a simple issue to me. Tranny spits ---- out, time to replace.

Re: WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be Good
 

i have a 91 dx (so it's a 4-speed) that ill sell you....for $50 plus shipping (or you can pick it up in so-cal

Re: WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be Good
 

Man it's a 4 spd, just give that ---- to him. Last time I check there wasn't a big market for those mad hoT quattro speeds. What does it take like 2 hours at the most to replace the tranny? Atleast thats what it took me in the old hatch.

Re: WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be Good
 

lol don't ignore it like i did once. i had the same noise its one of the bearings in the tranny, i kept driving on it 4 days after the noise started i was driving home about 3 mins from my house, punched the gas going about 45mph and wham! the car stops moving and i hear grinding like i was trying to jam it in gear. look in the rear view and see my diff/ring gear a couple yards back with oil and chunks on the ground :X

Re: WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be Good
 

i know it's a 4-speed and im not tryin to get rich off it....but damn ill lose $ by the time i use gas, get somthin to box it up and then go to ship it, $50 for a tranny isnt bad (if you need to have you car running) the junkyards down here want over $100 and you still have to pull it from the car

Re: WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be Good
 

Hell I gave away like a couple DX and VX/CX tranny's just cause they were taking up space for free. Worked fine. Just toss it in box and put cardboard pieces just smaller then the sides to reinforce it so it's less likely to punch through. Help the dude out Christ. Gas? what the hell do you live in the boonies or something? You can even schuedule UPS or Fedex to come to your house to pick it up so you won't have to do anything besides box it up and put it on the porch for them to get it.

Re: WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be Good
 

good

Re: WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be Good
 

if he was local i probly wood give it to him (my car parts take up alot of space also) and i dont live in the boonies...i just live in the city w/the highest gas prices in the u.s. (and i have to rock premium) gas is $3.43 for regular (premium is over $3.60) my car aint tuned so i get about 200 miles to the tank if im lucky

Re: WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be Good
 

Ok so the diff bearing went

Would this also somehow cause me to feel something pummeling into my shifter?

i just want it to be one problem, fairly easy fix I sippose if I can find a replacement

Re: WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be Good
 

easy fix, find another tranny!

Re: WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be Good
 

just gauging if anything else needs to be swapped bone, the shifter feeling would just be something fucked in the trans or is something else affected by this?

Thanks

Re: WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be Good
 

What's under the shifter? Two bars, that's it. Any problems with vibrations or anything would come from the tranny. The only thing you can have is messed up bushings or a missing washer or something in the shifter itself, but that would only make it feel like it's still in neutral, like you can make the shift stick around, even if it is in gear.

Unless your exhaust is hitting the shift linkage the problem is in the transmission.

Re: WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be Good
 

check to see if you have any tranny oil left in it.if the axle was out a bit it is a good possibility you lost oil. and the grinding noise i have had a spring pop out of my clutch disc and was making all kind of noise like you said.

Re: WTF Just Fell Out of My Tranny!!! *PIC* Somethings Grinding - This Cant Be Good
 

least its a d tranny
