for my poor, poor saturn :|

driving to work this morning, i look in the mirror....smoke everywhere. stop and open the door, smell trans fluid...luckily i was almost at work so i got it there, trail of trans fluid in my path. lost about 2 quarts over about 2 miles of driving

couldnt tell where it was coming from besides that its an internal problem (not a cooler line or something) so...to the trans shop it went. if it needs more than like $500 worth of work im just gonna ****can it i think

Thats what you get for putting so many damn stickers on it.:wink:

all that extra horsepower tore the trans apart

I figured you would say that. So does this mean the stang is DD now?

karma from those stupid links!

for now, yes im DDing the stang....but alas foxbody mustangs are not good in snow soooo...i gotta get something before winter

Buy that waffast kids saturn?

:lol: it wont pass inspection

Steal his tranny then!

i think his is a 5 speed

it killed itself :rofl:

That sucks Matt. Hopefully it ain't anything major.

Next, build the drivetrain before you add all that horse power.

find out what tranny it is....i may have one or can get you one fairly reasonably priced.

its whatever trans a 95 saturn SC2 has...i believe theyre the same from 93-97 or something

You had a transmission, but your diff pin ate it.

go to sixthsphere

they have a lot of info and Im pretty sure you could get everything for a 5spd swap for under $500 so If you want to stick with auto, a new(used) trans will probably be pretty cheap.

yep thats what im thinking, the pin went bye bye...it made some funky noises before it started leaking too

I just had to replace the tranny in my GF's saturn...paid $250 for it. I don't know if they are the same, though. Her's is called an MP7, specifically for the twin-cam cars, 95-02 are the same ( in her car's case...2002 sl2)

yeah mines a twin cam, the SOHC ones are different

and i thought about a manual swap...

Is the transmission oil pan on top of the transmission? That's how MP7's are. They apparently are know for being junk. The valve-body is usually the culprit ( although, that doesn't explain spewing fluid). If you determine that it is indeed the VB, let me know. I have an extra one with all the "fixes" done to it. Wholesale on them is $230...i'll make you a much better deal.

the valve body is on top, yes...but i already put one in around January of this year. im pretty sure its the diff pin, probably shot out and cracked the case.

If you do get a new trans or what ever have the diff pin welded..

I honestly want to have mine welded. I know for a fact that's going to be my biggest problem with my car after it passes inspection..

Oh, well...sorry. I can still probably help you out with a "new"/used from a junkyard one if you need.

well its at my buddys trans shop now, hes gonna see whats actually wrong with it, and go from there

you would know without a doubt if it was the diff pin...my buddy had it happen to his, he was cruising doin about 35, not beating on it not driving like a jerk or anything then all of a sudden BOOM and there was nothing but smoke and he couldnt accel anymore, the engine was still running but the car wasnt going anywhere lol it actually put a huge hole in the side of the casing (almost took the entire diff with it). he got fed up and put a 5spd in its place.

:-P
