trans issue, litterally just happened

[disturbedfan121]

so i was accelerating in 1st normally, shifted into 2nd and then boom. no more gear. the car will engage the gear fine, but if i give it gas(5% or more) in any gear it just revs up and makes a grinding noise

so the question is did i blow
Clutch?
Trans?
Diff?
any combo of the 3?

what do you guys think

 

[pavone]

im gonna go with diff, going into gear means clutch is good, and more than likely not tranny if you can still get into the gears as well. not 100% but yea thats my thought

 

[justanothermp5]

sounds like your diff

 

[theEZV]

diff. time for m-factory

 

[Wagonbacker9]

did you hear a pop when you let the clutch out going into 2nd?

I'd bet you 10:1 odds you popped the diff.

 

[ForceFed]

Definately Diff.

bingo

 

[disturbedfan121]

linky anyone?

 

[Wagonbacker9]

yeah, thats exactly what happened to me. I wasn't being 'nice' but I wasn't on it or anything either. start pullin the trans out now. lol

 

[disturbedfan121]

Wagonbacker: start pullin the trans out now. lol

**** that lol i got s*** to do, i'll pay extra for a shop to do it and save me time and energy, + they'll cover their work.

EDIT: S-unit has the factory one welded for 529.99(596 with seals and main shaft bearing) free shipping. any objections? i want the car to run reliably but don't wanna spend 700 just for the diff...

 

[mazdaspeedp]

id say mfactory is a good plan

 

[littlemimus]

id say mfactory is a good plan

but he doesnt wanna spend that much

 

[disturbedfan121]

I'm actually gonna go with the revised MSP diff but welded and get an exedy stage 1 and have speed circut put it in.

 

[Wagonbacker9]

thats the exact setup I went with. no regrets what so ever.

something similar happen to me recently...Im suspecting either the diff or my flywheel. It grabs it barely when I try to go in reverse but when im in 1st or 2nd nothing..doesnt move rmps keep moving up and I feel a slight tug.

Diff or fly? or both?

 

[disturbedfan121]

do you hear a horrible, horrible horrible grinding noise when the car is in gear and you go to give it gas while its in gear?

UPDATE: car is getting worked on at Speed Circuit by Dino and i'm awaiting it back. will up date again when the car is back

 

[Wagonbacker9]

when it popped, I got off the gas... because I knew there was no point in trying.

 

[dandan2]

dude if ur gonna go with the revised and welded then u should just get the mfactory. its around the same price for a quality part.

I heard a horrible clunk and scrapping noise when I was driving before my car stopped wanting to move. But when I got the car towed to my apartment it managed to barely grab and go in reverse by it self... and as for when I put it in gear right now and try to move forward nothing happens.
