I think i broke my transmision tonight

Post by Efratech »

Hi,

tonight my transmision broke...

i was preparing to race and i launch it at 2500 rpms, and kaboom, i still feel my hand shaking a bit, cos i always grab the knob.

i dont know what it broke exactly but it has a gear in, so if a let the clutch it turns off, the stick is moving strangely, and all the transmision oil was on the floor.

I was pulled to my home by a friend.

Tomorrow im calling Danny *my daewoo mechanic* to see if he was a spare box laying around... if he has it maybe tomorrow we will swap it... i think the differential broke.

:(

Hi,

we took the transmision down,

The first thing we did is try to put it in neutral trought the selector, no problem there,

We lift the car, i notice that the box has separate it self from the base mount of the back engine mount.

we took it down... the box is broken in 4 pieces where the bolts on the base for the engine mount hold on to the box.

I could see the differential and the speedsensor, all seems ok inside there, i did turn the differential with 1 finger so all seems to be ok inside.

I just need a new box to put all the parts there, i've to check with my daewoo mechanic to see if he has one.

Hi,

tonight i came from a friends home, and just gave the car a WOT fun... and notice that this new box has shorter ratio :O !!!

with the old box i reached 180 kms at 7000 rpms in 3rd gear....

now im getting 150 at 7000 in 3rd!!!

no wonder i noticed the car was feeling a bit quicker!
