Driving to lunch on Friday, pulled into my apt parkin lot, engine/tranny made a loud bang, and started knocking and shaking like crazy. I shut it off, got out and found 2 bearing (pretty sure they're bearings) laying on the ground. Lots of coolant and oil was pouring out of the bottom. Got it towed to my friends house now. He's a mechanic. I'm not sure if I wanna put more $ into it, or just part it out. Car still rolls while in park .This is the 96 auto by the way.
I'll keep you posted. Erich. This post has been edited by Badkarma: Aug 16, 2009 - 4:18 PM |

Coolant doesn't pour out because of a failed CV joint. Are you sure they were bearings? If it is all F'up on the tranny, then you will have to at least deal with that ( like a new tranny. This option is usually cheaper then fixing the existing one if you buy used). If you do the work yourself, im sure you can find a good running GT motor with tranny for < $1000. Probably get just the tranny for < $400. If the car looks good, i say fix it. If you want a new car then now is the time! Good luck either way.
