I had a bad transmission so I bought a replacement on craigstlist. The guy I bought it from used it on a daily driver and said everything worked great. He was swapping it for a toyota build and didnt need it.
Replaced:
Pressure Plate
Clutch Disc
Release Bearing
Pilot Bearing
Clutch Cable
Used clutch alignment tool to ensure all was lined up.
Attached transmission.
Filled transmission with 75w90 gear oil.
Start truck.
Whines.
Clutch in. No whine.
It goes onto 1st 2nd 3rd 4th, but will not grab.
Will not even find slots for 5th or Reverse.
Put it in 4x4 low.
Grabs in 1st and 2nd.moves car. A foot forward. When in gear whines much higher. I didnt try other gears or to go any further bc I was worried Id break something.
Parked for the night.
I know the pullout/release bearing is installed correctly.
Now its starting to sound like the transmission I got was bad.
I filled the fluids with it jacked up about 6 to 7 inches. Could this have prevented me from properly filling it?
I removed it 4 times to make sure I had gotten everything lined up and it was all done correctly.
I still have my old transmission so I'm hoping if something internal is broken that I can maybe put the two together to get one good one. :/
Any Ideas of where to start would be very helpful. I have the service manual and the geo tracker tool kit so I should be able to replace everything, its just the diagnostic knowledge I lack.
Thanks for the help!
