I know it has been awhile since I last posted and I have been trying to locate a rear tailgate to replace the one someone ran into. On my way to get it my car refused to move after stopping at a light. Every time I released the clutch I would hear a grinding noise coming from the transmission. A sane person would have call the scrap yard. I spent two nights at a motel trying to figure out what to do. I was almost 270 miles from home! What do I do? My first attempt at trying to find someone local to fix it was met with: "What's a Justy?" To tow it home was even more ridiculous! A mechanic without the proper tools is useless! Besides, I believed the pinion gear inside my transmission had stripped. I came to this conclusion after laying on the ground to see if the driveshafts moved when the clutch was released. They did not, but I could feel a awful grind coming from the transmission. Thanks to U-Haul, I got it home! My inner shaft, that connects to the right driveshaft, had stripped the splines going into the transmission. The right passenger side output shaft on the transmission was stripped too! To get the transmission out I had to make a support for the engine and remove the left drive axle, brake and hub assembly, and lower the stabilizer bar. The speedometer cable and the shift linkage had to be disconnected too. The starter and clutch cable and support were removed, and reverse light switch disconnected. The inner shaft is attached to the engine with three bolts beneath the oil filter. (2nd generation only) I found a used transmission out of a 93. I have ordered a new inner axle, the bearing was gone anyway! Hope this helps!

I've heard this is a common problem with the justy's wonder why, :/. My 1990 justy is an inbetween generation car. Gen 2 body but a gen 1 block With MPFI head. Because of this the previous owner had that inner shaft with the shorter equal length cv axle but had removed the carrier bearing. This allowed for some slop and let the inner cv joint contact the oil pan on hard left accelerated turns. I just recently replaced that wrong equal length axle with a gen 1 passenger axle.
