I recently purchased a 996 and handed the teener down to my son. I’ve been putting off doing any trans work until it grenaded while he was driving it yesterday.
I can row through all of the gears with my foot off the clutch and the car at a standstill. Towing it home, it sounded like a coffee can full of rocks… So sadly, the car is sitting in the garage until I find a good shop… I swore to my friends & family (just 2 days ago) that my wrench turning days were over so I’d really prefer to flatbed it somewhere rather than pull the transaxle myself. The hands have finally healed up after paint & body, lol. Anyone with experience @ aatransaxle.com in Duvall??? Any other recommendations? Thanks! |

Foot on or off clutch? If off I assume with engine off. If that is the case, can you run the engine and get through gears with the clutch in? If it is only making noise while rolling, I too would suspect a CV joint. If it is the tranny concur about Doc Evil if nobody local. |

Foot off the clutch - it is engaged, engine is running and the car is not moving. If it was a CV joint, that would be great. I haven't got underneath it with the car yet with it in gear, clutch engaged and the thing in gear yet to see if anything coming out of the tranny is actually turning. I hope to get out of work at a reasonable time tonight to take a look. BTW, spoke to Jason @ Squires and he sounds like a great guy. I understand it is difficult to get a real estimate w/o actually having seen the thing, but he quoted $4K for a R&R + rebuild with new syncros and the possibility of a ring gear or two...? I've never cracked a transmission myself so I dunno. Transmissions and differentials the two things that I'm afraid to touch myself and this has both.... :/ |
