yes it's fixable. i had a problem similar to this a few weeks ago. i'm in the process of fixing it right now. you'll most likely need to replace the sleeve set for gears 1-2.

how much does that cost and is it something a basic mechanic can due??

You will need a press and some specialized tools. You can do the basic work and have a machine shop actually press the new bearings and components on. Make sure to have a copy of the Helms manual and read all the threads you can find on internal transmission work, like LSD installs etc.

the 1-2 gear sleeve set is about $273. look at this thread for the part numbers.

thank for all the info.....

Do you think my friend that graduated UTI will be able to fix it without major problems... because he has a press and everything. he just only work on 2 trannies in his life....

so my question is: how hard is the work involved in it and on a scale of tranmission problem what does this rate?

any tranny work isnt easy....cuz if you mess up one thing it can ruin the whole thing and you will have to do it over again

def take your time and do it the right way

I've gotten my hands dirty on alot of things and had a few trannies apart but they still scare the shit out of me
