Default How do I know if its my whole tranny or not..?

Well.. This what happened.. I was going to get my radio fixed after school.. because I had radio problems.. And they said it would cost 69 re-solder all the wires .. since the guy that had the car before me, used house wiring **** to hook the radio up and I needed to get it fixed.. Waited bout 3 hours and it was done.. then I got ready to leave, and I'm turning out and began to shift gears.. POP there goes my tranny -_-.. then I let it roll into some plaza place and I waited there and had to get my car towed home.. i'm guessing that it's the tranny because I parked it and I put it in second and the shifter was stuck.. so there goes 85 dollars today .. total of 154 dollars on bull**** -_-.. now I gotta save up some money to get a new tranny.. but not even sure if its the whole tranny or not??

keep in mind that its stuck in second and before it got stuck the shifter felt like it was hanging somewhat..

could just be a bad shif fork or link cuz if the tranny gear went out it would usually go into gear and just rev with no drive, this happend to my fiends second gear too and it was not the whole tranny

well it does not sound like it, but the only way to find out really is to take it apart, the only bad thing i could see is if a gear broke or fork broke and threw pieces all over the place hurting everything, but i dont think it would be that bad, maybe a grand to fix depending on what needs to be replace, i would take it to a local tranny shop so u dont get screwed over by the dealership. Saying its going to be a grand is just to help u get ready for if it has to be a major fix like a few gears and a shift fork, cuz it could be as cheap as a few hundred. Just try not to get screwed on laybor

put it this way, just a guess from your posting/grammer but you probably have beat the snot out of the tranny. and it is a used car, and you are at least the second owner. pretty good odds it is tranny rebuild time.

well laybor is about 90-100 an hour and for a tranny to be fully built would take about 5-6 hours, and thats with taking the tranny out and putting it in. The shop would take the tranny apart and then tell u what is messed up, then u should go to a place(NOT THE DEALERSHIP) to get the parts for a better price, that ur best bet. if u can to save money have it towed to ur house and take the tranny out urself, only if u have done it before or no what ur doing, cuz that what i did and its going to save me 2 to 3 hourse in laybor. but if u have them do everything, im thinking laybor will be about 3 to 400 depending on how bad the tranny will look.

the easysit thing you can do... is start at the shift boot, take it off, and look at the clip that the shifter snaps into!! then follow the control arm down.. to the tranny.. make sure it all goes, if your tranny went you would be able to shift .. but if you wana know if your tranny is bad.. just drain all the fluid threw a screen and see what comes out.. if its shot bad youll have syncro mesh and if its f'ed you'll have teethiing

i agree with anti trust that would be a good guess of 1800 for a full build for stock gears, i got a quote for ra gears and that was 2300-2500, then u have ppgs which will go way over 4grand.

So should I go with RA gears..? What's the pricing on those.. lol.. PPG sounds good from what I've been researching.. but way to much... I would rather not use the stock gears again cause after fixing it and then it ****ing up again, would set me back another few g's,rather than to buy the PPG gears or RA gears if there any better.. I don't plan on doing ANY modifications to my car after I get my tranny fixed.. But I don't wanna have a tranny thats gunna **** up on me anytime soon.. I want it to last for a minute under the my driving conditions

So best bet is to get PPG gears.. cost is too much

but RA gears are much better then stock, and it can handle more than it right??

And for the STi gears ?

Could you link me to the RA gears thing? cause I wanna check them out..

For the 2004 WRX

here is a link to rallispec.com
http://rallispec.com/prod_trans.htm
they have the ra gear sets that r micro polished, what that means is that they r a much stronger ra set, u can get them in two different ratios, ra for shot ratio and se for longer ratio, if ur not going to do track racing then probably want to go se so u dont hit 4 grand when moving at 80mph on the free way, but it is up to u, if u do want to get the gears make sure they r either shot peened or micro polished im not sure which is better though

(Ratios -- 3.083 / 2.062 / 1.545 / 1.151 / 0.825)

(Ratios -- 3.166 / 1.882 / 1.296 / 0.972 / 0.738)

well it seems that if u r going to stay around 250-260 whp i think u will be fine with the gears from the link i gave u above, the gears 1-3 r going to be shorter then stock, but its going to keep the stock ratios of 4 and 5 witch is going to be good for freeway driving, ya and ur really only going to need a cai when u start putting down some serious power. PS u should take the bov off as soon as possible i would keep a cai on over a bov.

They probably just didn't put something together correctly when you had the clutch done. Roll it on some ramps, climb under and look and see if the linkage came undone. You might even be able to get them to do the work for free if you find something loose outside the transmission, since they may have caused it.
Or..... if the shifter is stuck, your clutch (that got worked on) may not be engaging and allowing you to shift....
