91 camaro vert,originally 305tbi now, 350 tbi,swapped from a truck,wc t5..

So after swapping to the 350, the car seemed ok but then a day later the car was hard to put in any gear(grinds when attempted,but the new owner will slammmmm it in gear)..noticed a rear main seal leak,so that was addressed..now the car was driven maybe 15 miles,stopped at a stop sign,couldn't get it in gear,turned the car off,put it in first then started it..as it was cranking the car was moving,clutch fully pressed in..it made it a block further..car will not go in gear at all now..also it started making a noise after the rear main seal fix,extreme hard vibrating of the car,under acceleration,I mean hard...does it while car is in neutral rolling down the road also when revving.during this vibrating,it's also noisy as hell..any help appreciated..

 

Throwout bearing improperly installed, most likely.

Rear main seal leack could have contaminated the flywheel surface and pressure plate as well. This will lead to chatter.

 

They said they cleaned the oil off and turned flywheel,car has to be trailered now,damn shame, I never incedious trailered it other then initial purchase...that's what I've been reading, throw out..I'm not a transmission guy,but very mech inclined

 

 

If you paid a shop to do the work, they should fix the issue.

 

Well, no one is willing to admit fault,I sold him the car,was mech great,he wanted a 350,found one complete for 200 with all accessories ,even headers..I had to assist in getting the vehicle running,at first the injectors would dump 100% ,and no spark,I knew something was grounded or pinched,turned out they had one of the ignitin coils on backwards,anything is possible once you break the tabs off..but two different shops,he paid 350 to get the rear main seal done,a week after motor install. It's funny the mechanic said all tbi injectors are the same and no one can tune these cars,you have to use a timing gun..Wow.

 

Now it looks like its going to a trans shop.if the trans has to come out,I'm not helping..bad enough I had to sell my baby,now she is bing abused,also been wrecked three times since paint in November

 

Sounds like you need to walk away from this.

I totally agree

 

I'd buy it back if it wasn't modded

 

Too much to replace

 

I hate giving up on a third gen! But I have no time to waste.

 

I would highly recommend not buying it, but if you are dead set on it, offer him a grand with the wheels, you could prolly hock them for at least $500

 

500 they'll sell for 1200$ easily,it's originally my car,I know the history of it and its rust free

 

Lol...he wants $7000.00 for the car..

 

Definitely time to walk away.

 

Yea I did,side note this car is about to become an auto..damn shame
