[uffeth]

driving home today from work, tranny locks up (5 speed) , seems like its stuck in 1 gear. tranny fluid leaking out from input shaft....anyone had same problem and is it an easy fix or just get another tranny???? wich trannies works,does the 1994 n up work on my engine or did they redo the bolt patern on those???

uffeth,

You don't make it clear but I assume you are talking Auto box. The major change was 1994-5 so M reg can be either.

If it a an auto (it is 4 speed), a cause of lack of change can be the govenor seals breaking up. This can be fixed with the box in situ. Try a search, there are a few threads on this. The engines changed around '94 MY (ie late '93) I believe so which box fits would depend on whether it is the old long engine or the newer short one. I don't think the boxes are compatible but stand to be corrected.

no,its a stick but.....i found a 94 aero with blown engine for cheap and was wondering if there is a way for the 93 engine to be fitted in the 94????

uffeth,

Sorry, I should have noticed that you said 5 speed so it must be a manual 'box. As Alan G said, you are quite close to the change over date so you need to check whether the two engines are the same. I find the best way is to compare the cam chain end of the cylinder head. On one the two 'additional' 13mm head bolts on the edge go downwards through the head into the block and on the other they come upwards through a flange on the block into the head. Hope that makes sense !

I can't remember which is which though I do have pre and post change cylinder heads in the garage so I could check. Will do if you want but probably best to just see what you have and compare with the other motor.

The 'boxes won't fit interchangeably - I've tried.

the problem is that the car is 2 hours away and i havent looked at it yet, but i can look at mine and see if it has the 2 13mm bolts...if you have a picture of one,that would help!!

found yet another 9000 aero,this one is a 95,does run but has been wrecked but still drivable,the guy wants $1000 for it but thats his want price...so im going to take a look at it tomorrow and go from there...might just sell the 93 as is......
