those cars when they came out they was suppose to be throw away cars. i went to hunter before they came out i was told this also they told us the drums and rotors would be throw also. a buddy of mine bought 1 and the tranny went out rite away i should tell you he bought it used with 30.000 mls on it when he bought it.

I think you'll find this forum full of people who have driven Metros over 150 K miles with very little trouble. This completely wrong opinion is not going to fly here. Why don't you "go to hunter" whatever the hell that means, and learn some English.

To ipjkcu: It's out of the ordinary for anything to go wrong inside the gearbox except for worn 2nd gear synchronizers, and that's something you can live with. I would check your mounts and shift linkage before tearing anything apart. For the transmission to not go into gear, it must get full throw from the shifter, loose or sticky shift linkage bushings could compromise that.

Re: need advice tranny

I have rebuilt 2 of these transmissions. Its not too bad of a job, most i've seen have worn 2nd gear syncros. They don't require that much in the way of special tools. You need a press and a bearing seperator and some hand tools and thats it, but if you don't have a press you could get a machine shop to press the bearings on and off.

I also agree with woodie83 check the simple stuff first.
