[QUOTE="DarkKnightSM, post: 8594711, member: 672612"] I'm fairly certain of two possible fixes on the soon to be mentioned problem but I will post anyway incase someone can offer different insight other then the vagueness of the rest of the internet. Backstory: Tranny was low on fluid, amount is unknown other then what was on my garage floor, if I had to guess just under a quart. I was already on the road after some work I did on the car, nothing to the tranny itself except disconnecting/reconnecting the axles. (I forgot to add fluid from which had seeped from axle holes.) After 5 miles on the highway it would slip only in 5th gear every mile or so and above 60 mph. I could hold it in gear but didn't want to force anything so stayed in 4th when possible. After realizing what I had done I had no choice but to keep moving on. By the time I got home I had driven 40 miles with low fluid. Super paranoid about further damaging the tranny I quickly jacked up the car on passenger side and put in 1 quart of tranny fluid. Because it was not level it is unknown if the oil I put in brought the tranny to adequate level or if I overfilled it. transmission and engine functioned normally before with zero issues before the low tranny fluid issue. Current issue: After driving about .5 miles from the house, transmission slipped. It would go into its Placed gear but the car would not move at all, would just rev, minimal tranny noise heard. I tried ever gear, had to push car home. Car is immobile. With all this said I'm thinking two maybe three things. 1. I did enough damage to the tranny that after filling it the gears had already been worn down and more gear oil just wouldn't allow the tranny to operate 2. Over filled it, and manual transmissions are not able to function when overfilled? Idk. Solution: drain to adequate level and hope that it will function again 3. When overfilled, after the oil expanded, it dripped out over some weep or overflow hole or tube, therefor dripping down or into the clutch, getting the clutch wet with oil, causing the clutch not to function properly Solution: tear tranny from motor, dry possibly replace clutch/drain tranny to acceptable levels. So my question to you guys assuming the worst like [URL="http:////forums/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=3"]#3[/URL] . Is there a way to dry the clutch without pulling the tranny somehow? PS. I'm just brain storming before I get home and have a chance to actually look inside and under the car. I would rather not be worried to death. [/QUOTE]
