I found more problems in the transmission so did as suggested and bought a used one. Found one with under 98K shipped to CO for $750 from CA. Looks good. Should be up and going by the end of the week!
A place in Denver quoted me $500 to $1800 depending on whats wrong, but guessed the $650 range. I'm wondering if anyone had done it on their own? Doesn't look too bad. I've done one other manual transmission.
2003 GT 6 speed 150K Long story short. Bought a 2003 GT for $1,000 with a bad clutch. Replaced clutch without problem. Test drive after, car was un-drivable when bought, and I discover gears above 3rd are impossible to engage. Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bWKKYJ6ch0" onclick="win...

Looks like the clutch was just flawed or he did not get it back together right. Given everything else would not surprise me.
I forgot one photo that showed the "junk" left around the clutch.
Thanks for the help guys. I have the transmission out and on the ground. The clutch is off but now I'm worried. I bought this car because the clutch was out. I knew this getting into it, but he just told me he had done the clutch only 5 months ago and it is already gone. I've done one other clutch a...

Just bought a 2003 Vibe with a dead clutch for only $1000. The kid had replaced the clutch but not the throwout bearing or the flywheel. It did not last long. I'm going to replace all three, but having a hard time finding OEM and not race. It will be a daily commuter and want it easier to drive then...
