Hi All,
I have an 88 na 2+2 5 speed and the transmissions been making weird noises lately. It's been making a sound almost like it doesnt have enough oil but the oil seems to be fine. I checked the oil a few weeks ago and it was just barely low so I added enough to top it off at the fill hole but to no avail. The noise is getting worse and my mileage has been horrible lately. I don't know if that's because of a dragging caliper or because of the transmission. Anyway it's sort of a grinding/whining noise like you would hear when two gears are paired together too tightly. Can anyone help?? Is there another oil reservoir that im missing? I really can't afford to leave this unchecked and blow a trans. Thanks in advance! -
Sounds like you better check your brakes, the rears can hangup due to sticking e-brake cable's.

Thanks, i've checked the brakes several times and rebuilt both front calipers. I'm pretty sure its not the handbrake cable. I didn't see any sticking when I took the wheels off and spun the hubs. Anyways thats another problem, right now the transmission is more concerning to me. -
maybe its not the handbrake cable, but the actual caliper itself. -
check the condition of the trans fluid if its dark and dirty you could have a problem in there. t5 are cheap to rebuild all the trannies are cheap at salvage yards. without hearing or seeing myself best i can do is tell you check fluid condition it will tell you more than we can. -
what kindof problems would that imply? I changed the trans fluid just 2 years ago with amsoil trans fluid so it shouldn't be dark yet unless there is a problem, correct? -
Describe it, dark burgundy liquid or dark brown liquid? -
I'll have to check.
