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

well if there is no holes in the block thats always a good thing lol. i would have to agree its prolly the timing belt.
