Is there any reason why a 5sfe would just lock up while driving?
would it be the engine, or possibly the tranny?
it's a 1997 5spd 5sfe, with 190k on it.
im looking to see if it could be an easy turn around or not. help me out guys smile.gif

No, I dunno about the 5S, but the 7A is a no interference engine, so the valves didn't get screwed to hell.
