My car made a real expensive sound
My good old blue 92 five speed made the first sounds indicating that it may need serious help. 124k miles
The car has always been a little difficult when shifting into 1st or reverse. However, yesterday it was harder than ever. It made some grinding noises (like when you make a real poor shift), and clunk type noises in the rear when shifted gears into 1st or reverse(never had this sound before). I was able to make my short trip by man handling the gears into place.
Today, I went out to my car, hoping that the car had forgotten its nasty ways, only to find out that it was worse than yesterday. I can not even get the car out of neutral! I tried forcing the gears, but it would not go into any of them. It only made louder noises.
The clutch only has about 25k on it
I’m guessing that it is the tranny. What do you guys think? And at around what $$?
Thanks

It really couldn’t happen at a worse time. I get my degree next Saturday, and then have to move back to the bay area on the following Saturday.
