A hammer will fix anything, or fix it to where you have to have another.

If it aint broke, fix it til it is

Duct Tape!!!!!
Then Hammer!!!
more Duct Tape.....

Don't forget the bailin' wire and bubble gum.

the intake is fine their was jus a hole in a hose LOL but still got tranny issues grr

I had to replace a crush bearing cause it well, crushed. It took me a few days.

is their any place that sell remanufactured 4 spd stock transmissions/transfer case for the luv ?

I have seen a few. I talk to the boyz at the local AAmoco Xmission and they tell me that you can get the rebuilts from a transmission reman in the area, or they can order it. But for the most part, I have not seen A LUV specialist.

You can spam: info@allisonparts.net and see if they have any in stock tho.


Or go to switchboard.com and look up one in your area. They can probably get it for you.

If tranny problems are that bad then cut out floor board and do the fred flinstone thing

Or put the "I would rather push a Chevy than Drive a Ford" hat on and start pushin'.

maybe it could be your throwout bearing on the clutch. if you only hear the noise when you put your foot on the clutch then its the throwout bearing. if it goes away when you put your foot on the clutch then its in the tranny. maybe you could get a part number off that bearing in the tranny and buy it at a bearing place, and just replace that one. it'd be alot cheaper than a rebuilt transmission. or search for a bearing kit for the luv transmission on the internet. i've never looked for it but there might be one out there.

May be the crush collar as well. Or a crush bearing.

My dads truck makes a whiney sound when you push the clutch in, the problem....Throwout bearing. Maybe yours is doing the same thing???

When I replaced mine, it worked ok, but then the whine from the rear transaxle was not bearable. So I took two or three shims out of it and it was OK.

well the noise goes away when i push in the clutch and it makes a sorta knocking sound and i ve been bein a lil easier on it jus incase it totally screws up but maybe i ll find a tranny through the site i dont have money now but 2 weeks will have some more i cant really tear it apart either cause its my only transportation

a luv will go a long way on bad parts, i know...

well i ll see how long i can go maybe till i get some cash

It wouldn't hurt to check/change the tranny fluid. My 76 had enough of a tailshaft leak to drop the fluid level down to the point it would make some extra noises when it got low. If it is a transmission noise, it could be running low on oil. Noisy now, but gets expensive later if not topped off.

hmmm i ll check 800xl
