Just bought a s13..and i have some problems

[robatlanta]

I just bought a used 240 from my buddy.

everything seems fine with it.
but when I drive it through the gears I can hear the transmission working its ass off. It might be the throwout bearing, but I'm not sure.
I can't tell if its either low on tranny fluid or the gearbox is grinded down. 4th gear works fine and it sounds the quietest.

Its and original engine with 96k and same on tranny.
91 s13.


any suggestions?

I went to advanced auto and one of the guys said that the syncros are shot and the tranny needs to be rebuilt.

check the fluids. is it grinding in any gears. or hard to go into any gears. do u hear any abnormal sounds from it.

[robatlanta]

i guess u can call it grinding.
the gears are just really loud but 4th gear is quiet.


ill have it checked out tomorrow.


would the syncros make the transmission loud if they were shot?
