Thank's GTS, but that 140 bucks for a transaxle did sound nice.I'm going to drain my trans oil tomorrow and see if there's any metal. No metal maybe CV joints, metal maybe transaxle. One's just a little more fun than the other, lol.

Are we talking about two different thing's. I meant the front differential. Just wondering if any one has replaced one, bought one, or has rebuilt one.They come apart , the transaxle ( differential ) and transmission, just haven't ever messed with one, well yet, lol. Or if any other 4wd toyota will ...

Thank's Sherlock, Ill check on that.

Thank's I'll try that this evening. When it's jacked up and running in gear, it sounds like some loose stuff in the trans axle. But maybe it is be an axle. They have been making noise on turns for about a year now. Do you know, what transmissions will fit this car, well without a lot of ...

My transaxle sounds shot, do'es anyone know ,can I just change the trans axle, and if so, are there any other model cars that will work. I have a 83 tercel 4WD 6speed Trans.For example, would a Carolla , or models other than a Tercel work? Thank's , Deturn

Ps, what's the usual price for a used ...

Hi hornett22, curious about the trans you have. I guess first , do you still have it, and do you have any idea if it would fit in a 83 tercel 4WD that now has a standard 6 speed. Thank's , Deturn

Just went outside, jacked the front of the car up, started it, put it in gear, and the noise is definently coming from the transaxle, sounds like it's below or near the axles. I guess the fun has begun.Anyone ever had this prob, or ever rebuilt one. Now I'm going to have that brew. Thank's , Deturn

Hi and thank's for replying. It dosen't make any noise at all with the engine running, car sitting still, with the clutch in or out. It seems to do it mainly in fourth and fifth gear, above 30-35 mph. It almost sounds like something rubbing. Like playing cards in the spokes of a bicycle.I drove ...

Thank's for the replies. My trans level is good, and I have 1qt of synthetic in it. I think I'll change my trans oil anyway. I have also been thinkng that maybe my CV joint is making the noise at a certain speed, 4th and 5th gear.I think I'm going to change them also. Just wondering if I should drop ...

What a great site, so glad I found you guys. I have a 83 4WD wagon, and just recently began hearing a whirling noise, started hearing it only in 4th gear, now a little bit in 5th also. It disappears when I enguage the clutch. I replaced the clutch and throwout bearing, less than a year ago. But it ...
