Hey guys, this is my first post to the forum, or any Internet forum for that matter, so I'm sorry if I do anything wrong, because I have no idea what I'm doing, but I've been lurking this forum for a while now and I need help. I have a 2013 sonic sedan, LT manual 5 speed, and I let her get into a bad shape. I've owned the car since I was 16, I'm now 22.
The transmission makes a whining noise while in gear, which I believe to be the output shaft bearing, but it's hard to find a good amount of info on this transmission. Basically im trying to find out if anyone has ANY information on the transmission that would help with a rebuild or a replacement. Info like removal, disassembly, really anything would be helpful. I don't know if I'm too incompetent to find the information online or if there really is nothing useful about this transmission i just can't justify getting a loan for the 6000 the dealership is quoting for a replacement, and this is a last ditch effort to see if I can avoid sending her to a salvage yard of "trading in" which will effectively do the same thing. As dumb as it sounds I'm genuinely losing sleep about this, so even someone knowledgeable telling me that it's hopeless would be helpful, I just need to be sure there's nothing I can reasonably do. Thanks, and sorry if I'm doing something wrong, again idk how this stuff works.
