| I am having a problem with the transmisson, it will only drive up to 32mph and then the trans won't do anything. If I shut down the car and start over I can drive all day long as long as I don't go over 32mph what is the problem? Please Help!!!!!!!! | |

Hi all: I just had the 5 speed manual tranny rebuilt by a local shop here in town due to bearing going bad. The mechanic purchased a kit that included all bearings and syncronizers. After reassembling the tranny, I now have a hard time getting it to shift into 1st gear and when I shift from 1st to 2nd, the gears will grind if I don't double clutch or shift fast. My question, is this normal and once the tranny loosens up, things will be OK or did my mechanic reassemble it wrong? In order to get it into first without armstronging it in, I let out the clutch, push it back in, and it will then slip into gear. If I depress the clutch, wait a few seconds, then try to put it in gear, I almost have to force it into gear. Suggestions?? Thanks much. Dave in Pierre, SD

Hey guys, i'm working on a 95 monte carlo w the 3.4 eng, and i've dropped the trans (along with all the suspension, if anybody's worked on one of these u know what i mean) to change the input shaft seal that's begun to leak. Anybody know how 2 get that blasted robins egg blue torque converter? Thanx -Aaron-

I've already got the suspension (along with the trans) dropped. I just can't seem to get the torque converter off! I'm kinda baffled, i haven't come accross a torque convertor that takes more than a few good tugs to get it off! I used to own a lumina, so i bought the book (lumina/monte carlo) but i cant seem to find it. Any advice/info? Thanx -Aaron- |
