ianhilley Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 At least I think that is what it needs. When it's in 4wd it'll drive, but in 2wd it makes a terrible grinding sound in the front right and it doesn't go anywhere. A local mechanic thinks it needs a transmission (the whole thing).

75subie Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 hey, if you ever decide to sell it, please let me know, i have been looking for a gen 1 4wd:brow: does it grind in all 4 gears? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROGDOR! Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Not exactly NC, but much closer than the west coast... there's a yard in southwestern PA that has a 79 wagon 4x4 4-speed, trans is yours for $85, you-pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subeman90 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 are you sure it is a bad tranny and not a broken axle? I would hate to see you buy a tranny and it only be a broken axle. Check your front axles!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4_Welder Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Sounds kinda like a stripped hub- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBARU3 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I second the hub being stripped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tailgatewagon Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 here here on the front hub band wagon. here is any easy way to tell. get someone to drive the car (well try and drive it) in 2wd while you are out side with the hubcaps off look at the big nut in the center of the wheel if it is spinning on one side or the other but the car isnt moving then you have found your striped hub. and you should be able to get a hub from the board here or your local pick a part for 5.00 or so...

uncoolperson Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 my was a exhaust thing...(it was a brat) although that was more of a clunking/scrape.... either way it seems (or so i was told) the tranny rides lower (some magical way?) when it's in 2wd.
