oh joy I'm now in the "blown 3rd" hall of fame
Posted: May 23rd, 2007, 8:16 pm
yeah 3rd gear blew up the other nite. I had the other gears to make it home where it will now stay till I can figure out what to do. The trans makes grinding noises even when just in neutral and idleing.
I've been waiting for this to happen. this is the second tranny in a year. Was the Diff bearings first and now third gear.
I amvery hard on my car so I can understand that things are gonna break. I treat my car worse than a rental. I have a blast though.
Any who, I know I'll do it again soon if I replace with stock parts so basically I'm asking what are my options? I've tried to search for detailed info but everything is very vaigue. I already wasted money on miata discs that ended up way too friggen small. (supposedly any year works...nope sure a-- hell doesn't) 89-93 is a no go.
Gro Harlem used zx2 internals ffrom, if i understand right, a 97-03 zx2. Any details or specifics on this? Gro?
to make things worse its the factory jdm lsd tranny. On the possitive side when my diff bearings went out I was able to get them right from the local mazda dealership. they were the same bearings as the domestic open diff bearings.
thanks
