Toyota parts Backorder Blues
So my trans finally started making the high pitched whines and then the marbles on and off, so I knew the end was very near; 341,843 trouble free miles. Drove it to my mechanic buddy's house across town, barely made it, turned off on me twice, I guess the pieces get stuck in TC and it locks up engine. Would turn back on and keep going.
Now the bummer part. I want a Toyota remanufactured trans, so went to another buddy in the parts biz. He says its on backorder and will be 2-3 months, but the price w/b $2900. I'm also looking for many suspension bushings, lbjs, 99 springs/struts and they too are here and there on backorder.
I just hope I can get it back running before hunting season starts in fall.
