Hello there,
A couple days ago I was pulling into a parking lot when my transmission (5 speed manual) locked up going about 25km/h. I knew by the sound it made and the gear oil on the ground, the repair will be $$$
My car has 190,000kms, and it's chipped. I do tow a utility trailer with it from time to time and drive it hard (not stolen hard). I heard that the differentials grenade sometimes, or the rivets let go in the diff???
Does anyone know any more info on this? I found a tranny to put in for now but, I was wondering if I could beef it up a bit so this wouldn't happen again.
Thanks,
