Good evening all,
I recently purchased a 1995 Cruiser and at the time of purchase everything was mint. Test drive went well and didn’t notice anything wrong with the vehicle. Fast forward to 1000km later and I have a faint but noticeable metal rattling sound similar to that of a twin disc clutch ( not sure how else to describe it).
noise is there any time the vehicle is moving over 5kph and it’s just noise. No vibration, no clunking, nothing.
One thing I have noticed is that it goes away when I place the vehicle in 4WD so that makes me think it’s transfer case related.
I let the dealership do their checks and just received a message saying that the transmission is “completely broken”. Naturally my stomach flipped but at the same time I am confused because it shifts nice and easy with every gear and other than the faint noise there is no grinding, clunking or anything plus I drove the thing over 1000km with no issues shifting.
Anyone else heard or experienced this problem. They want $4500 dollars for a new transmission that apparently isn’t made anymore so I’m not sure what me paying them 4500 for a new one would do haha. I feel it could be a “hey pay us money because we said it’s busted when it’s not” scheme.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
