The lesser of two evils OR which transmission? Posted by Gigantor [Email] ![]() ![]() |
If you followed the thread about my SPG being put out to pasture for rust issues, then you know I've got two 89 900s, one base package and one SPG. At this point, I think my game plan is going to be to make one solid car out of two bad ones.
As I contemplate the best way to make this swap, I need to figure out one very important and pressing question; which transmission do I use?
The transmission in my SPG feels a little sloppy and sometimes, for some reason, there is a loud CLUNK and bump and jerk when I put the car into reverse.
The transmission in my former parts car requires that I keep pressure on the stick keeping it in the reverse position the entire time I'm going backwards or the stick jumps out of gear. It is fine in all other gears.
So, I ask the group, which transmission would you go with? Is either of them a simple fix for a simple mechanic or are they both due for a full rebuild? I appreciate your input.
