93 wierd grinding noise trans issue

Post by lackawanna1701 »

Last week at a stop the bonnie just died, figured it was a bad battery and I know the alternator was on its way out. I got her started with a friends battery this morning and I can't seem to get her past 10mph. I fear there is damage beyond my ability to repair :(

I sent it as an mms haro. I did get her started up and drove her around the block back to my house. She revs up but no acceleration past 10mph. She hasn't started back up since. I will be buying a new battery and go pick a replacement alternator tomorrow. Hopefully this solves the problem. I will keep you guys apprised.

Don't waste your money, the battery and alternator are not the problem.

PM me your number. I'll send you a text and then try reply to it.

Although the video/audio is horrible, its pretty obvious that this motor is done. Sorry to say. That squeak is the all to familiar sound of a spun bearing.

Wait for someone else to confirm though.
