I had a broken 2-3 accumulator spring. I read in another forum on another site that having this can eventually cause the clutches to fail. :frustrate
Its only been going on for 3 days, but still, on the third day 3rd gear went out completely where as I wasn't able to shift past 2nd.
Can having a busted 2-3 spring cause 3rd to go out like this?
The sludgy material that was on the pan magnet was about half the volume as the magnet itself. Also the film on the VB plate shows how much was present there. Does this look like the result of a burnt clutch?
I don't want to waste the fluid and gaskets if a rebuild is needed, using twice the amount.
If a rebuild is needed whats the best kit to get? I found a guy who's able to pull the trans, rebuild it, and reinstall for 300$. Does this sound like 'too good' of a price? What other things can I take care of now to insure a solid build?
Thanks
