Just found out from my mechanic I no longer have 2nd gear in my truck. Just to take it down will be 400 and then the price will go from there. Lol and the best part is just got my title for my truck in the mail. After 5 years of paying it off I finally did then the trans goes lol. Damn the luck. Might be using my gun to shoot it instead of targets./

search on here, I believe there is a shop owner NJGF member here.

What are the specs on the truck?

 

Might be able to help you find a trans or a rebuild.

112,xxx.. I bought it with 79,000 on it. The guy orignally thought it was a selanoid< definitly spelt wrong lol..... But I have no second gear at all. Said its metal on metal. I dont have much money and cant afford anything resembling another car plus I love the old girl. Fell in love with my truck when I first saw her lol.

Solenoid is the correct spelling.

 

Are you handy at all?

nitro if it's any help...get all your parts together...trans.fluid etc... and i'll put it in for you no charge..... located in trenton if that's not too far for you

And I'll wash it when you guys are done! Make it nice and perrrrty again!

Wow really hot shot? My brother in law is an ex-mechanic but he doesn't wanna mess around with the trans. I could always just buy the rebuild kit and throw u a couple hundred extra lol.

Toms River transmission used to do a very inexpensive rebuild if you take out the trans and put it back in. Several years ago I did this on the wife's van and when everyone else was upwards of a grand, he did this arrangement with me for $600 and included an external inline trans fluid filter which I would recommend on any rebuild.

+1 on the cooler also make sure you take out the valve located in the factory cooler line....this seems to be clogging up causing the transmission to overheat and eventually fail.

 

check locally for a used unit if you are tight with the $....a rebuilt unit is always better though.... i have also had luck finding some on ebay with the rebuilt units at $750...

I feel your pain. Had the timing belt go on my car that I used for back and forth to work. Wiped out the engine. Had 204xxx on it. 2000 Hyundai Accent. Had to get another car.

Sorry nitro, no luck with an inexpensive used trans on my end.

 

Reese, FYI Hyundai's original timing belt in most of their cars are recommended to be changed at 30k. Most replacement belts should be changed 90k - 100k after that.

 

Hyundai's are the lowest mileage recommended replacement for a timing belt out there.
