My tranny sounds like a 1952 GMC pickup in 1st and 2nd gear, whinning upon accel and decel. What do I have to fix?

Have you checked the Gear oil level?

Posted by: Bleyseng Jun 4 2003, 06:09 PM

Yeah.

This is a used tranny I got from a wrecked 914 that was Pink. Yep, factory pink! had about 35k on it.

Does it do it all the time, or only when a 52 GMC pickup is following you?

Posted by: Bleyseng Jun 4 2003, 06:29 PM

Ever since I bought it 2 years ago. I should unweld the GMC from the back of the car, it must slow me down at the AX some.
I know-now you guys will be sending me cheese to go with that whine!

uuuhhhhhh.......loose nut behind the wheel??

Posted by: Bleyseng Jun 4 2003, 06:36 PM

It sounds the same in reverse. I think its got a problem because of the wreck in was in. Brad is the answerman so I'll just wait until he sees this and endure all the absuse from you other guys.

I agree with dad roberts.......it's the nut behind the wheel

Posted by: Bleyseng Jun 4 2003, 08:57 PM

The problem is the loose nuts that are replying, big help you guys are.

Posted by: Bleyseng Jun 4 2003, 09:35 PM

Wear on the pinions? Does it sound like a rattle spray-paint can?

Is it only in the first 2 to 3 gears, but goes away in 4th and 5th?

Posted by: Bleyseng Jun 4 2003, 10:28 PM

By then Karl the damn Bursch is soo loud you can't hear anything! I think a bearing is toast but I want to have a idea what could be wrong before I rip it apart. I suppose I could pour 4 cans of Power Punch in it to quiet in down but that doesn't fix it.

Probably the bearing in the intermediate plate for 1st & 2nd gear. The bearing is going away and the gears have all new clearance. I wouldn't drive it much or you could do further damage to some other expensive parts.

I stole the photo from Red Beards trany web site (sorry Red Beard):

spinning your tires in gravel and then hitting pavement in first gear helps. you should do it more often.

Posted by: Bleyseng Jun 6 2003, 07:23 AM

Atleast mine CAN do that!
How is the engine install coming? Did you fire it up yesterday?

electrics, fuel pump power this time. i'd rather shovel chicken shit. i'm trying to use the stock wiring to power the pump. i can use the + side of the coil, but i'm concerned about probs with the compufire and running an additional lead from the coil to power the pump. will recheck continuity of all the wires/ relay pannel this am. or try to fish a wire through the harness and pull power from a switched circuit on the fuse panel, not real excited about this option.
