WoodsWagon Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 This tranny had 90k miles on it, I broke a front axle and proceded to smoke up 215/75 15's on the rear whenever I had the chance. 2 diffs, 3 driveshalfts, and then the tranny let go. Took it apart in school, swapped in good gears from a tranny I dragged out of the state forest, and It'll be back together next wednesday. Here's the two gears that route power to the rear driveshalft from the pinion shaft: Yes I know it's out of focus but my camera was free and can't focus because it was in the glovebox of a truck when it rolled.

nipper Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Looks like the gears came from the back country of West Virginia nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodsWagon Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 The rest of the teeth were all there... in a pile at the bottom of the extension housing. Yeah, pounding second while the car is sideways may not have been the best idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbone Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I think thats what the last tranny in my Hatch looked like. With the divorced t-case in it, its always in rwd or 4wd. With all the hiways runs to get to where I was wheeling, it finally took it toll. Man, what awful sound when those suckers go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbone Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 So maybe my idea of doing the t-case mod to one of the BRATs isn't a good idea after all? Depends on how your going to use it. Like I said, I put alot of hiway miles on it getting to meets and offroad parks. I dont know how many miles were on the tranny to begin with either. If you can find a low mileage 5spd D/R, use that for the swap. Scotties Cocktail for the tranny might be a good idea also, I think I might be doing that to my Hatch now. If its for a offroad beast thats not going to see alot of street miles, I say go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
