Sadly my 1983 tercel sr5 transaxle is done, and I do not have time or expertise to continue on with her.
It started when the passenger CV axle busted on a dirt road. I thought it was an easy fix, not too concerned when I saw some metal shavings in the transaxle fluid as I drained before installing new CV Axles, axle seals, inner and outer tie ROds for the driver and passenger,
but when I went to Drive after it was all in, I heard a terrible thud, and I will not engage properly. My buddy thinks its the spider gear, but at the very least the transaxle needs a tear down. I wish I had time, space and money, but I got to move on.
The tercel will need to be towed. It is located in GARBERVILLE, CA up country roads.
Some stats

Inclineometer (works perfect)
It has A/C but needs a recharge ( I roll my windows down)

The old wood and oil stain is my attempt to show
I replace the old warn out spare tire cover
with 3 pieces of inch think wood. One main center piece and two unique
cut pieces that fit behind their the fender on each side.
It also has the full size spare,
and newish tires (less than 10,xxx)

That car looks low rust one so hopefully your car will find a new owner.

Just now saw this post. Is this wagon still available? I live about 1.5 hours away from Garberville, on the coast near Petrolia.
