alright guys could use a little help. i think i know what i gotta do i just wanna make sure it's right. I have an original d16z6 5spd transmission in my 95 del sol, I've swapped in a d16a. But for the past year or so (ive kinda been ignoring it) my transmission has been making this almost grinding sound like there is a bunch of sand rolling around in it. At closer inspection it almost sounds liek there is fluid hitting the hot walls of my transmission and hissing at a rapid rate. Furthermore my transmission will not stay in 3rd gear if i let of the gas it simply slips into neutral and the same in 5th. I've never done a lot of downshifting the clutch is semi-new and i changed my tranny fluid with no improvement... Next step is to replace my tranny which shouldn't be too expensive, i can probably pick one up on ebay for like $300. Sorry about the long post, I could just use some input from someone other than own experience.
