Guess What? Transmission's Shot.

[Skirvin]

So, like everyone else out there, my trans went bad in my 91 SE, along with the torque converter. We're in no place to have someone replace it for us, so 2 things:

 

A). Can the motor and tranny be dropped from underneath more easily than just trying to get the transmission out by itself?

 

. Does anybody know where we can get a transmission for anywhere around $200?

 

Thanks, i appreciate everyone's time.

No, I don't believe it would be easier at all. Only a few people have pulled the motor and tranny as a unit, and I still don't understand why they did...

 

As for a 200 dollar tranny, that may be hard to find, especially if it was gaurenteed to be functional. Probably your best bet is to buy a crashed/blown motor/rotted frame Pathy and swap everything over to make it a manual tranny drive.

I'm with B. In Ohio, you may be able to find a complete vehicle with a salt rotted out chassis and a blown engine for free or next to nothing.... but a known good tranny outside of a vehicle usually commands a higher price.

the tranny is worth more than the vehicle so buy the vehicle and steal the tranny and any other parts you may need.
