NEED help with DSM!!!!

[superstreet02]

ok, my bro has a 96 eclipse rs, 5spd, anyways, apparently the tranny is out, it feels like the gears aren't engaging, and sometimes it won't even go into gear or when it does, sometimes it won't get out, like it's stuck. And it also makes a noise like a bearing or something is loose. Does this make any sense?

Pilot Bearing. Must pull tranny.

[superstreet02]

so this is bad?

[20G TSi]

no, its just a throw out bearing. pulling the tranny isnt too bad and the TOB isnt expensive.

[superstreet02]

damn, the mechanic dude who's lookin at tells me it's gonna cost $1400 to get it fixed cuz it needs a new tranny and a new clutch

[20G TSi]

happy raping. I could have it fixed for ~$30 and two hours.

 

 

btw, you're planning on opening a store selling performance oriented parts, but you dont know when a TOB goes bad or how to fix it?
