Hello Sir Johnny. I am just about to take the tranny out of my 90' Geo for a swap. My question is will it be easier if I leave the driver side fender off. I have another to replace it with but haven't put it on yet.
But before I actually do this let me tell you what mines doing right now. When I first got it it would not go into 1st well. If you eased out on the clutch it would pop in with a pretty good chunk. Sometimes it would just grind. It was also hard to gear down to 2nd from a higher gear. Now it just grinds when trying to put it in 1st and I have to take off in 2nd. Does this sound like a problem too big to mess with trying to fix? Should I trash the trans thats in it when or if I replace it ( I do have another ) or is it worth fixing for a spare? Thank you very much.
