1987 TRANSMISSION: help needed

[Ben.alexander94]

Hey there! So I am a full time college student and a full time Tercel lover. Recently my transmission went out. I have exhausted all potential resources looking for the parts that will be needed to fix her. I cannot find anything without purchasing a whole car. Being one that believes in paying for school without debt I am in a tight financial position that wouldn't allow me to pursue buying a whole new tercel as an option. I really would hate to see the ol girl never be on the road again. So, I have come to the kind folks at Tercel4wd.com.
If there is anyone out there that either might have a transmission, transmission parts, or even suggestions I would be so greatly appreciative. I am not asking for anything free, just options that might make economical sense. I have a 1987 manual 5 speed with the extra low gear. Also, I have a 3a engine. I cannot seem to find any numbers on the tranny so this is the only way I can describe the transmission. Again, if there are any suggestions or potential leads I would be so greatly appreciative! Thank you all!

Have you removed the tranny? What went wrong, describe symptoms. I have some tranny parts if it is fixable.

if only the input shaft is damaged, that should be a fairly easy fix. If the gear end where it is inside the trans is buggered up, likely it will have to come apart to replace parts. there is a big idler gear between the input shaft and the trans main shaft that typcially fails when it is allowed to run low on gear oil. it is high up in the gear box, and gets lubed by splash from the sump, if it is low, it runs dry and the gear teeth wear, fatigue, and than finally break off. All of the gear teeth and broken metal has to get cleaned out, all of the other parts inspected for damage, and replacement parts installed. Unforutnately if the damage is beyound the input shaft, the whole gear box has to come apart to replace the parts and verify there was no other damage.

Forum member Xirdneh is the most experiance with doing these kinds of repairs. post some pictures of the damaged parts if you can, we might be able to tell what it needs from pictures.

good luck
