1g fwd tranny question.

[Brent Hunter]

So I just want to know, I have currently put my 3rd transmission in my talon and all have the same problem,
They make a grinding/scraping noise, is this a common problem? Should I worry about it?

[Travis Koch]

 5 speed or auto?

 During shifting, clutch in or released, or just in specific gear, or all the time?

Just a quick thought....... the main input shaft bearing can have a tendency to wear, causing a grinding sound.  I had this happen and so I replaced it....... good as new.

1g? shifting problems?  check your pedal assembly for wear.  VERY common.

[Brent Hunter]

No shifting problem, just a noise, clutch out, in gear an out of gear, goes away when push clutch in

hrrmm, yeah that does sound like bad tranny bearings then.  these cars are getting very hard to find good trannys... so i could definalty see someone getting three duds in a row.

Kind of depressing

  I found the bearing from a place in Burnaby/New west... cost like $15........ I think chrysler wanted over $100.  Only problem is I can't remember the name of the place.  Sorry.  When I get home I'll dig up the old one for a Model #

How hard is it to put these things in?

If you can get a part number, you can probably get any bearing you can think of through BC Bearing - they are on Mt Lehman road in Abbotsford.

It's not so much hard as it is time consuming and requires a bit of finess and organization.
