Re: Need a transmission for my 85 4wd Sr5 6speed

I'd offer to help but I'm sadly way over on the east coast.
Not sure what there is for junk yards in your area, but calling around/ asking around might find you something.

If you find something Just make sure your front and rear diff ratios match!
Best of luck!

Re: Bought my 1st 4WD Tercel!

Hey, congrats on the purchase! For tire sizes I've run 175/70/13 and 185/65/14 on 7th gen Civic rims (02 - 05) without needing to lift anything. I think you can get away with up to a 195 depending but don't quote me on that. For injection stuff I think it was Chevy Tracker EFI stuff works, or you co...

Re: CV Axel Blowout

My carrier bearing isn't sagging yet, but I've had some suspicions about it going out for a while. Whenever I was in 4WD I'd always get some new vibrations from the center of the car so that could be it. One of the hangers on my exhaust did get a little bent so it's possible the drive shaft might be...

Re: CV Axel Blowout

I did a little fiddling around today with the clutch and transmission. Petros was right on one thing, my cable adjuster was pretty much junk, but the spring on the pedal was also a little worn out. After a little bit of adjusting and a random replacement pedal spring the cable was sorted out and mad...

Re: CV Axel Blowout

Mismatched tire diameter can cause the hard to get out of 4wd thing. When mine gets stuck I put in reverse and back up and push 4wd lever forward Yeah, I've heard stories about that from my step-father and his 88 Tercel. I guess uneven tire pressures can also cause that. I've run either 175/70/13 f...

Re: CV Axel Blowout

I heard the sound when I got to about 3k on the tach in each gear, and it would continue past 3k, at any speed while driving.

Re: CV Axel Blowout

My clutch is a stock Aisin unit. Not sure if it's the original one from when the car was made but it sure looks that way, although it's always held up good. I'll try my clutch cable first, it does feel a little bit different, as in slop. If I recall there is adjustments that can be made from the ped...

Re: CV Axel Blowout

Transmission is back in the car. It WAS working really good but a new problem came up today. While I was test driving I downshifted from 5th to 4th, and when I tried going back for 5th the transmission refused to go into gear, and any other gear for that matter. I could not get any gears using the c...

Re: CV Axel Blowout

Alright time for the full carnage report. The gear on the input shaft: rounded off, no teeth left. Idler gear: a couple teeth left, that's about it. Front diff ring gear: missing a couple teeth. Front diff spider gears: a complete mess. Front diff pinion gear: missing 1 tooth. Shifter case: brimming...

Re: CV Axel Blowout

I got a front diff that I might be able to use from Jimcrazy. Mostly just need to pray my original pinion is usable. If not I'm going to put the 83 transmission in and no use 4WD until I can get a 3.73 rear end. I was considering going to the higher ratio for the 4A-GE swap so I guess this bit could...

Re: CV Axel Blowout

As far as I know the person I bought the car from never replaced the transmission, but put in a driver side cv axle. It's certainly possible that someone down the line had put in another transmission, sometimes when I used 4WD in the winter it would get stuck in 4WD and I'd have to put a lot of forc...

Re: CV Axel Blowout

Here's the update on what's going on with my transmission right now. Probably going to pull the broken one out of my car today if it dries up outside, we had some rain yesterday. I stopped by a junk yard/towing service that I was informed might still have a couple Tercels, so I'm waiting for a call ...

Re: CV Axel Blowout

Well, that solves the mystery of why the axle came out, but that's a huge bummer. Sorry to hear it. Xirdneh has done some videos on disassembling the trans that would probably be helpful for rebuilding yours. Is what it is. I'm gonna try a couple places that might have a 4.11 geared transmission to...

Re: CV Axel Blowout

I haven't done any axles yet in the car, but the driver side one is much newer than the passenger side one. The driver side is the one that failed. The plot also thickens with this. The axle snapped inside my front diff and subsequently took my transmission with it. I have no forward or reverse gear...
