Transmission trouble

[Mass Ownage]

Let me start by saying I know next to nothing about transmissions. I have a god awful grindy/knocking noise coming from my tranny. It only does it in fifth gear. You can feel it in the shifter. Any ideas, where should a start? It has fluid, I checked it today.

new transmission. it will be cheaper than fixing yours.

The noise comes and goes. it will be fine one minute, then make the noise then I can push the clutch, it will stop, and i can release the clutch and it wont make it for a while!

drain the oil, look for metal, get new transmission

Ok what am I looking for as for as a tranny. I was on a site that listed a 5 speed and a 5 speed OD

Get the OD one if you have a choice! The model should be a 3053a. Some of the 3052(non OD) were converted to OD. Best way to tell is put it in 5th and see if one revolution of the input shaft makes MORE than 1 rev at the output shaft.

Is there a manual on rebuilding a tranny? Where is the best place to find a good transmission?

 

[ctmustang]

depending on the number of parts you may need vs the cost of a good used one I'd go with the used one. Strange that it comes and goes I wander about release bearing coming apart or something in the area.
Just my 2 cents C.T.

Trans manual is TM 9-2520-246-34 & 34P
