I have a 1994 Geo Prizm 5-speed. It has been a wonderful car except for repetitive transmission issues. The current clutch has about 25K miles on it. Two weeks ago, in the midst of a heat wave, shifting into first and second gear became very rough. It feels like I’m just learning to drive standard again. No matter what I try the shift is bumpy with the feeling that gears are grinding against each other.

Shifting from 2nd-3rd and higher is absolutely normal. This certainly isn’t what happened when the clutch died a few years ago. I haven’t changed the transmission fluid and plan on doing that but I thought I would post here to see if anyone had suggestions as well. I chewed through a clutch pretty fast (40K miles). I had bought the car used at about 70K, had to replace the clutch at about 85K and then again at about 125 or 130K. My mechanic at the time told me that he had found a clutch that was more robust or tougher than the first one that he did.

1. On vehicles with a manual transmission, worn shift bushings can cause the transmission to pop out of gear, especially when coasting down in 1st or 2nd gear. 12 reports 3 comments on this Geo Prizm.

The second one was a complete rebuild of the transmission. I trusted this mechanic but I don’t live in Baltimore anymore so can’t have him look at my car now (I’m in Michigan).

I also took the car to a transmission shop about 3 months ago and had them test drive it because it was making a funny noise only starting up in first gear. This garage said that my clutch felt great and that they thought it was some small piece that was sticking a little bit but that it wasn’t dangerous. About a week later that noise went away.

Geo Tracker Manual Transmission Problems

Transmission swap - i have a 3 spd and will a 4 auto or a 5 spd manual bolt in. Asked by chunks88 Mar 08, 2009 at 12:38 AM about the 1991 Geo Prizm 4 Dr.

My 1990 Geo Prizm with 158,000 miles suddenly started making an clunk-clunk-clunking noise only when it is in gear, running down the road. It did this after a momentary loss of power during which time it felt like it was in neutral. At first, when I accelerated, the engine revved, but no geared response, then it came back, but with the clunking noise. This noise does not occur during idle, only when running down the road in gear. I have had no other transmission problems. I did have th eCV axle joints replaced about 2 months before this happened. Also, maybe related, maybe not, I checked the fluids the other day and found some oil in my radiator reservoir.

No water in oil. Car has never overheated since I have had it (2 years). Any ideas about clunking? Not sure if I want to fix it or not. Check the differential oil in the automatics. Took three weeks and many states to find a transmission. Somehow the oil in the differential gets out.

I dont think alot of people realize the differential is a different compartment. Drain them from underneath and fill them from the back side. If they go dry it eats them to no repair. Mine went from 65mph to 45mph on the interstate with no warning.

Metal all in the case. If you get a used transmission take the differential plate off before you buy it. Drove 2 hours out of state.

The guy said he checked it but only turned the axle. Was full of metal.
