My Transmission is blown...anyone know what my best option is to getting a new/used/rebuilt 6spd?

Edit: is it worth having the tranny opened and looked at for a rebuild? fuck, I dont know shit about transmissions.

I posted another thread about this, but here is the cliff notes.

About 2 weeks ago I started to hear what i thought was a weird "lifter" kind of noise....i didnt pay much attention. Yesterday I launched the car at a red light and then heard non-stop loud sound, like someone was beating on the engine with a metal rachet or something. The shop said they put it on the lift and drop it and the sound is coming from the tranny, its not a CV joint like i thought. They said there was liquid around it (but i never recalled seeing any oil on the ground).

I'll look *GT (Tim) up... FUCK!

Sounds like you cracked the bellhousing on the launch.

ok i left Tim a PM...

Maybe a rebuild is all that is needed? Cracking the bellhouse, what does that mean, how bad is that?

Fuck...

It may be able to be welded, if not you will have to get a replacement bellhousing.

can you explain what cracking the bellhousing is...im a noob. If i need a new one, what do those run?...etc. I'm hopeing that Tim can take a look at this for me.

The bellhousing is the part of the trans that bolts to the engine block. On a 6 speed the bellhousing is a weak point and on a hard enough launch it can be cracked/broken.

Replacement involves removal of the transmission.

As far as cost I honestly don't know.

The mechanic said thats where he see's oil, where it mounts to the block.

Good time to do a clutch if you need to Nick...just something to think about.
