Thanks Greg, I've already got my eye on yet another BG GTX trans, gunna try getting a hold of him tomorrow to see what he wants for it

[Flyin4stroke]

That's nuts.

Sounds like my last 4 days. Its even worse when you buy a trans from a member.Sorry to hear the news,I feel felt your pain.

[Damkid]

This tranny I put in... I know from personal experience this was a good tranny, so there's no blame to the member I bought it from

[Rocketman]

Did you fill both sections of the tranny? pretty sure the center diff has its own fluid

No I got a Junk tranny from a member.You got further than I did,mine wouldnt stay in gear.Never even made it out of the garage.

[Damkid]

I guess I never updated this, I got the next tranny installed and everything has been running well for about a month now

While I was under the car changing the tranny, I noticed a rotted front subframe, so that was today's task, changing the front subframe

Here's my spare ready to go in



Old one out



Here's why i needed to change the subframe



And new one installed

[Damkid]

Bad ball joint on the drivers side... Problem gone although I ripped my upper strut mount trying to separate the ball joint ugh



Then I decided to pull the spoiler, I actually like it better this way

More sleeper status, I like it! :thumbright:

Rusty but trusty,thats what I call my Mazda's.If that rust doesn't kill us it'll make us stronger Chris. Ever find yourself crawling from underneath your car, trying to find a mirror so you can remove a big rust chip from your eyeball.Seems like a weekly ritual for me :tearyeyed:

[Damkid]

Lol yup I'm always cleaning the rust pieces off my face whenever I get under the car

But in reality this car isn't terrible rust wise, it's just the subframes that got rusty as hell, the body itself isn't bad

[nitrofarm]

Do you guys get salt on the roads? Hate that stuff

[defprun]

Bought my speed brand new, fogging it with wd40 and its never going to see salt

[Damkid]

Ugh.... Clutch blew

I'm getting sick of working on this thing all the time....
