when to overhaul a transmission
SO.. I got the SIII all running today.. Took it out for a "high speed" run.
Turns out the thing will do about 50 + a bit, in over drive on flat ground. I don't know if thats bad or good. It also blew a wheel cylinder on my "high speed" stop.
I know these things are loud.. but mine seems awfully geary.
also
It likes to pop out of 3rd on deceleration.. pretty readily. You can hold it in, but it bucks the stick a bit.
2nd will pop out.. but not all that readily.
4th gear makes a clickety noise when coasting or under light load. (i'll check the fluid level again as well).
Transmission was pretty warm after my drive.. Not so I couldnt hold my hand on it though.
So.. I was wondering if it is hurting things to run it like it is. Or can I drive it till the gears fall off.. then put new gears in. Or is this an adjustment problem?
It shifts fine. That is, it slides right into gear.
Thanks
