Just bought a beauty of an 85 wagon, and only a few weeks after purchase the transmission made some bad noises—and a lot of metal came out of the drain plug when I opened it. Looking to find a replacement trans or at least parts to repair the one I’ve got. Input shaft gear and idler gear are toast, and probably whatever gear the idler gear comes into contact with (I’m very new to the Tercel, so I don’t know these things) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bought the car to be a daily driver, and sold my daily right before this happened. Now I don’t have a car to get to work, and I'm out a few thousand dollars.
I’m in Bellingham, WA
Hope to hear from ya!
Cheers

Rkdoty, reach out to Timothy Thomas on the FB page. He is in Washington. I am unsure where exactly, but he would have likely have a transmission for you.
Best of luck!

Timothy Thomas can be hard to get a hold of, but is parting a number of Tercels. I could be mistaken, but I think he is in the Boise, Idaho area.
