Found an 88 Fox car with 92K miles on it, at junkyard. Minor RH side dent. Rest is pristine. Getting transaxle from it, junkyard personnel are pulling it for me today. Local shop will do the swap.
Transaxle is being transplanted to a 88 Fox wagon. Lost 4th gear entirely. Synchronizers are acting up, hear a slight gear engagement noise when going to 1st or 2nd gear. Last straw was "clankety" gear sound noise, last time I drove it to work. Was fine driving back home. Same shop replaced the entire clutch assy in this car 3 months ago.
Am leery of junkyard removing the transaxle. What should I look for? Should the gear oil for the transaxle be changed while out of the vehicle?
