Well, had some problems and im pretty sure its the tranny, but a second opinion cant hurt... I was driving my 87 gn today (not hot rodding, just normal driving) and i hit the gas to go from a light, and the motor revved up for a second before the car moved. it felt like the car was in neutral and then after i hit the gas it dropped into gear. it did it again the next time i tried to leave from a dead stop. i pulled into a parking spot and got some lunch, and on the way out, in reverse, this noise started. It sounded like my exhaust was dragging up against my drive shaft, but that wasnt it. While trying to figure it out i went in reverse, rolled back about 6 inches, and the car just stopped like i had slammed on the brakes....like something in the drivetrain just completely bound up. i putted it home, this noise continued the entire time, but all of the sudden completely stopped when i hit about 30 mph. i could have sworn the noise came from the rear end, so i pulled it all apart, inspected all the bearings, gear mesh and so on, everything was perfect. I go to spin the drive shaft to put it back on the rear end (car in neutral) and it will spin fowards, but not back the other way. so im assuming the noise came from the tranny to start with and it was just traveling through the driveshaft and sounded like it was in the rear end.....so basically i wasted a whole bunch of time with the rear end. then with the back end of the car in the air i started it up and the wheels still spun while in neutral, not to mention the noise in drive and reverse. Im real frustrated....this is a daily driver....i need it. so if anyone has any ideas...comments....suggestions, or lives in the new port richey tampa area and are good with trannys and wants to help out a youngster
