No Fluid

[bkmonster]

Approximatly how far (in miles) will a '93 MTX SHO go, if someone were to be driving on the highway, if it had NO transmission fluid in it??

I, for one, have no idea, but I'd say NOT FAR. I certainly wouldn't drive it for fear of permanent damage (even if it isn't immediately obvious).

Maybe five? It would probably be screwed after 1 mile though.

I think I need to rephrase that, How far would a MTX SHO transmission go, without fluid, before it seized up...with no regaurds to "permanent damage"??

If you are suggesting that you have a tranny leak, I say either fix it, or you tell us how far you got.

The dif pin would shoot out the side of the case way before it siezed... When my pin went I could still drive it but I had trouble getting it into 1st and 2nd gear. It never seized on me... shrug The one problem I really couldn't ignore was the broken cv joint popping and pulling me to the left...

No matter the distance you must travel to get the car to a place where you can service it, but it will certainly cost more to repair or replace the damaged transaxle internals (some obsolete) than to hire a "tow" truck, preferably one of the piggyback versions.
