Toyota Forums _ Toyota Tercel & Paseo Forum _ 1981 Tercel Sr5 Transmission

Posted by: burke753 Mar 6 2009, 08:24 PM

Hi, I am new here and have a 1981 Tercel SR5 with the 5 speed manual. I picked it up for $130 because it was stuck in first gear. I got it unstuck the same night I bought it but was driving it yesterday and when I put it into 4th it killed the gear. I have all the other gears but was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a kit to rebuild the tranny or where I can get a remanufactured tranny for really cheap. I am going to pull it tomorrow to see what exactly is wrong with it. If all else fails I am going to go to the junkyard and pull another one to try and see if I can use two parts to get at least one working.
