Very nice. Glad it's all worked out.

One of these days I'll take care of my transaxle/shifter stuff. For now, putting mine in gear is like stirring soup.

Ouch.

I too can testify to the joy of driving with a replacement tranny that's nice and tight.

Yep, that's the typical mode of failure!

So, what trans did you have for sale? And you put it in your car? What model year was the car that had the shredded pinion gear?

I'm betting that's what the guts of my old unit look like... the one that I had to replace. Pinion failure- check my Crunch link below.

the broken one is from my 84 na 944 ...the new one i had it for over one year in my garage it is made in 1983 and it WAS O (zero) miles.it was one stored gear box thru time.never been on a car.
