Good morning Festboy. The tranny is making metal. Drained the fluid, its toast. Checked the bushings on the shifter. And they weren't that bad. The guy I got it from was huge.Had to be 6'3 250 lbs. I have visions of him getting pissed at this thing and just cramming that shifter.Originally posted by FestYboy View Post
Both front coil springs are broken into pieces. And the motor mounts are junk. If the motor is sagging thats gonna put stress on the diff right? Think thats what could have trashed it? BTW I have a used E series that I'm cleaning up for the Aspire. It feels very smooth when you rotate the input shaft.And smooth in various gears. I'm thinking about splitn the case just to see whats inside. I could post pics.Its a $100.00 tranny so I guess I shouldn't be all to optimistic.Its def not the orig tranny from his festy cuz its got the tell tale yellow "Paint Pen" markings of a junk yard purchase. Anyway don't I want a G series for durability reasons? I know they aren't a direct bolt it,but I can work through that. I have a tendency to push cars to they're limit. Sometimes a little to hard. Thanks for checking up on me btw-Thomas

UPDATE 180K & Pulling strong
Hey guys just thought I'd give some good news.I registered this basket case the first week of July. I have since logged 30k on it. The motor is rock solid so I've been using Mobil One. At about 7 K the oil starts to break down & starts leaking a little from either the front main or Cam Seal.It sure doesnt use any oil thats for sure. But this is my first 1.3 and I'm quite pleased. I had 94 EGT back in the day.And I cant say anything bad about it as well.Some people like to read fiction,I prefer to read repair manuals. Weird I know-

If I might ask, How do you get the JY to pick up the Aspire without the suspention on it? after the conversion is done. That is my fear.
