is my transmission dead? (with pics)

[iornman86]

just so everyone knows yes i am being sarcastic, the new one is already in. I didn't know the transmission was in this bad of shape, finding chunks of metal and pieces inside. If everyone wants i have more pictures of the transmission guts. Symptoms were 1st gear popping out, 2nd gear grinding, and the transmission made a noise like a chattering clutch when decelerating, i would imagine from the worn main bearing

Nice pics I am not sure but I think mine would look like yours. It is being replaced now too.

I did not have any issues with 1st, but 2nd kept wanting to pop out and it felt like it was not fully engaging.

From time to time if not thinking about it would grind a little. Like it was only partially engaged and then when you release the clutch there was not enough gear to gear and it would torque grind. Here's to new trannies!

i cleaned up all the metal parts that were in there, certainly some decent size chunks

How did tis happen? manufacturing defect or abuse?

Were 1st and 2nd gears hard from new?

DID PAG pay for it, or if not, what was the repair cost?

I think it would be helpful if you could us the model and year of the car and a little about it's history (first owner?, mileage?, any previous issues?).

Thanks.

Hmmm, is the 2nd pop out under some kind of recall? How would one go about contactiing PAG?

My C2 is a 99, it just turned 80kmiles, 6 speed, 2nd owner.

Imagine Auto KCKS said that the tranny needed to be replaced.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have an AM warranty,

but apparently it will not cover the freight charges to get the tranny to USA?
