I was pulling up to a stop sign and the car jerked twice, but I thought I just slipped on some black ice (bad weather here). So I go to take off from the stop normally and it totally gave out at about 5mph. I rolled to a stop and looked underneath to see fluid coming out somewhere. I never heard of an MTX leaking fluid before. My clutch pedal is fine with pressure and I had absolutely no problems before this.
It's a long shot, but has this happened to anyone before?
I'd look up terry hienes <SP> and drop him a post. He should be able to point you in the right direction. Add if you need to pull it.. think about the quafie better clutch etc while your at it.

OUCH!
Busted bolt inside the tranny probably got caught and busted something...
Give Terry a call quick !!
secondline@ameritech.net -Terrence Haines
He is the man when it comes to the world of the MTX75 and so much more when it comes to our cars! I know I'm getting all my trans work done by him!
Well I leave tomorrow for a weeks vacation so I hope the tranny palce I took it to lets it sit there till I get back.
Same thing happened to me and i had terry haines fix it. U blew ur diff. Cost me just under 3000 bucks to fix but i got a quaif which was 500. just some warning.
If you want to save on the cost of shipping, don't forget the local shop that did mine (PM'ed you the info). Heck, I went and picked it up when done and stuck it in the trunk of the wife's car to get it back to my car. The only time an Olds Cutlass Ciera was equipped with a manual transmission (albeit simply ballast)!
Thanks for the info. My tranny shop is "supposed" to be removing it today for shipping. They won't attempt to repair it since there is a hole in the casing from the gear that wanted to leave the tranny.
I moved my complete transaxle up from my apartment in 2nd floor to the basement by myself without stop. Moving it into the trunk isn't a hard thing to do.
