Seconded: DON'T DRIVE IT! Posted by JerseySaab [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: Broken pinion bearings........, Leo, Fri, 8 Mar 2019 07:53:38 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Factory fill for the 5-speed is 10w30 motor oil, though I think gear oil was listed in the owner's manual as an alternate. There are many opinions on what's best. I've used Honda MTL in mine since it was rebuilt in 2003 and the trans is still tight and quiet.
Unfortunately the transmissions are a real weak spot in these cars, and rebuildable cores and hard parts are getting scarce. I concur with NOT DRIVING the car until you can tell what's going on. You don't want to damage it beyond repair if at all possible.
