Well, I'm back at Tercy. I had to take a break from my transmission swap for work for the last two months. I left with the new trans back in, but unable to get the input shaft all the way in. I'm pretty sure the clutch has dropped so I guess I'm going to be dropping the trans again tomorrow, althoug...

I may be way off here, but can I remove the transmission only, leaving the transaxle with the cv axle in place. I think the transaxle is still good, just the gearbox is bad.

That's the one I've been using, Archinstl.... but to no avail...I've tried a big flat head and the pry bar. Given it much more than few whacks. It's not budging at all, so I think I'm just going to try and pull the trans out with the axle attached. If I can't get it off, I might just put a new one i...

I'm In the process of pulling my transmission but my right side cv axle is stuck in the tranny. The other side popped out fine and this is a new axle that installed this year. I've been prying on it for about half a day now and it's not seeming to budge...any ideas? I'm wondering if the new c clip w...

I'm in Oakland,CA. That first one is looking right! Thanks for the heads up! I guess I might be taking a little trip soon.

I'm at a crossroads here... The transmission is out on my tercel, and I don't have the facilities to tackle a rebuild on it currently. It seems to be the input shaft bearing, but I'm not able to get into it to check it out. Does anyone have a 2wd transmission that they're looking to sell? And if not...

Thank you Dlb.

Does anyone have any leads on getting one of theses bearings. I've been online searching for a few hours now, haven't come up with any leads. I'm in the Bay Area, California...

I was driving to a swimming hole last week and the last bit of the drive was up a very steep hill, and then right as we got to the parking area a clanking sound started. It sounds kind of like the wheel of fortune wheel. It stops when the clutch is pushed in, returns when it is released, and happens...

Got everything put back together and made it to California. I built a little storage rack for the top and was curious to see what that did to my gas mileage. With the topper I still got around 36mpgs! Thanks for y'alls help!

Thank you for the words. I just ordered a rebuilt caliper from Rockauto for that side. Unfortunately, I'm pretty strapped for cash right now so I'm just going to stick with the smaller calipers and this side for now. The hose seems to be fine as well, so I'm going to reuse it to. Hopefully, the cali...

Update: CV axle and wheel bearing are installed! I was surprised at how easily the axle went in; it felt nice. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble with the brake caliper. I had to press the caliper back in a bit to get it reinstalled. I siphoned out a bit of brake fluid, pressed it in, remounted it an...

http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=1837368&cc=1279223 Are these the seals I need? I'm also having a really hard time gettting rotor off, it seems to be seized on there. I've tried giving it a good few whacks the a hammer and 2x4 to break it free but it doesn't seem to want to budge....

I got the axle out yesterday to find that my wheel bearing is pretty much toast. I bought the car from a guy in North Carolina who had purchased 6 from someone, this one had been sitting in a garage for like 13 years after a fender bender. I'm guessing that wreck might be the cause for these problem...

Sounds good, thanks for the run-through Petros. Are the seals readily available or will i need to special order them, I'm pretty sure the trans seal is leaking a bit already.

Also, after poking around on the forum, I was able to cancel the order on the reman axle and get a new one for $10 more.

My front right wheel began makind an odd noise the other day so I checked it out and noticed that my CV boot had been ripped. I bought one of those "speedi-boots" hoping It wasn't too late, I cleaned out the old grease, regreased it and put the speedi-boot on and it still seemed rough. Tes...
