a very sad end to an all to short story..
My transmission has gone out for the last time.
I'm sorry. I truly am. I love my car and I wish I could drive her in all her glory just once more. It saddens me that I cannot afford another transmission rebuild or, more importantly, the proper transmission for the motor.
Lesson learned: In the long run, an RS trans on an SiR-G simply does not work. And then you cry. Because you're out of money when you need it most. I would give anything for a new transmission. :wtc:

And that is all. I have no idea how I'm getting to work tomorrow.
:wtc: Only one thing to do... :drunk:

Something doesn't add up here.
Why are you having persistent transmission troubles?
Since this is the first I've heard of your problem, it seems like overkill to sell the car.. :shrug:

In any case, it would require dropping the trans and taking it apart - no less than a $600 job. And IF it's the throwout bearing, it'll be no more than $600. If I need a new trans it's no less than $1400, and if I can get mine rebuilt, it's no less than $1200.
All of which I simply cannot afford. I have no lift, no tools necessary to try it myself... No time.. This shit kills me because I love this car and would do anything to keep it. I just don't have the cash to pay someone or the skill to do it myself.
The reason my transmission troubles persist is because it's an RS transmission on a GSR motor. It just can't handle to load. I put another RS trans on there last time because the trans was $600 and the GSR trans was almost $1600 (without labor).

nope but it goes to show that you can get a tranny for less than the 1200 bucks you exagerated. check the classifieds. :slap:
