TRANSMISSION BLEW OMFG!!!!

So i was driving today all nice and sheet and then boom the car started to jerk for no reason. Stop in the middle of the road and shut it off.. Turned on and it barely moved now its parked at my girls driveway and i needa get to school ugh... Someone quoted me 1400 for a transmission with i think 40,000 miles do you think its a buy or no

I don't know prices for your area, but prudence dictates to find out what took place. Wouldn't it be better to take some of that $1400 and diagnose the problem, might be a solenoid and oil, filter change.

I agree about checking things out first. I had a 95 pathfinder before and hit a bump then no power...turns out the torque converter went bad. Easy fix!

i moves but restrictive

[Chuck Tribolet]

This is an automatic, right? First check the fluid level per the owner's manual.

After that make sure it isn't something else (locked brake?) Broken ring and pinion? ???

Ok i check fluids and for leaks nothing wrong there. Symptoms i have right now is in Park and Neutral the transmission makes a grinding noise but in R D D2 D1 its quiet. Moves forward but barley almost like when your driving in D1 when you reverse it moves then gets stuck and jumps then moves again. From what i can tell all my gears work just not moving normally. I visually inspected the under the car and i see nothing wrong with shafts and brakes. My truck dont even got rust on the underside ( factory undercoating). The rear wheels do jump kinda wierd though. Im taking it to Lee Myles transmission shop tomorrow for a free diagnostic test hopefully it is something simple. I felt like total garbage today i had no ride and public transportation sucks. gotta get to my campus at 6:30am and i live 1:30 plus on the bus....

Ok this morning i took the truck to Lee Myles Transmission and it will be back by Mon-tuesday. The total estimate was no more then 2000

[Wkz1gg0a]

Well just incase anyone was wondering i got the truck back today. Total cost was $2,318 it was a whole rebuild and something called if i can remember correctly the Pulmonary gears were burnt out.

[Chuck Tribolet]

Planetary gears?

Not busting balls, but every repair that costs that much should always include pulmonary in the description.

Did you notice anything odd, i.e. vibrations, noises, prior to the blowout?

[Wkz1gg0a]

The car was holding revs and reving out sometimes and i also noticed when i reversed the car wheels would jump

Well funny timing, mine is shot now too.

It had been feeling off for the past couple of days so I took it in to Mister Transmission.
They dropped the pan and found brass....

I am going to get it rebuilt, as apparently there aren't any low mileage ones around (They said they could only get one with 160 k).

My new floor mats came in the mail today though, so today isn't really that bad.
