1986 Unknown milage Used T50 for $350 in Cookstown Auto.

What's the nominal rate for one these days?
Anyone got one that's in working order (ex: no grinage, no unable to get in gear etc.. etc..) lying around? My tranny is RELLY hard to get into first gear without double clutching on a roll.

Thanks

Arthur

Sounds like the synchro wheel for the 1st gear is kaput... you could ask how much replacing just that part would cost.

isn't that kind of rebuilding the tranny?
labor would kill me since I don't know how to do it myself!

try driving almost anyone's ae86.. they're all like that.. my dad's '83 ae82 corolla was like that too.. you had to be at almost a complete stop before you could get it into first

I will try changing the tranny oil this weekend then.

Jerry drove it in November, he had to double clutch to get in first.
However, his coupe doesn't require such technique.

i got a very similar problem with you but it is with my 2 nd gear, my mechanic told me i might be the linkage problem due to the age of my car. I could be clutch or transmission too, but he told me the transmission is not that easy to get problems. I just sent mine to replace clutch, i hope the problem will solve. I hope yours will be solved too.. GOOD LUCK

Yup I coulden't gear down into 1rst in both AE86's till the car was at a complete stop. I think the car is suposed to be like that.

mine won't go into reverse sometimes, but I think that's my clutch though.. i have felt it slip when I downshift from 5th to 4th to pass cars on the highway, and when I gun it from 1st to 2nd too.

Well, it might not be the clutch. next time this happens, shift to 1st and then to reverse, should pop in like a charm. The thing is you're actually moving the sprocket when you to to reverse and that sprocket has straight cut teeth, so its hard to get it in sometimes.
