Alright I just got my new used motor swapped into my car last weekend. Over the last few days have been taking a few 20 to 30 mile drives to town and back figuring out and fixing issues. On one of the trips I heards a whirring whiny noise that sounded like it was in the trans. Nothing unusual was noticed other than the noise for a few seconds. After another trip on the interstate I realized my rpms were up to 3500 at 80. Tried shifting between 3rd and D and nothing happens. Also made a youtube.

After hours of searching and reading I found following threads most helpful and encouraging however many pictures don't work thanks to photobucket...

- Anybody agree that my most likely issue is the shaft splines stripped?
I am going to call triple edge performance and order some parts on monday and maybe ask him a few questions. I am planning to install a hardened splined shaft and the PCS and TCC solenoids.
- What are the reasons to replace the PCS and TCC solenoids during this gear hub change?
- Do I need to buy the 3 thrust washers mentioned in 02NavyBlue's thread?
- Can I drive this car like this until I replace the hub (less than say 3000 rpm) or will it do more damage?
- If I change the shaft should I be concerned about metal shavings in the trans from the splines shaving off or does the filter catch them?
- Anything else I should do while I have the cover off?
- Why don't I have any trouble lights on? Does this problem throw a code? I had a scanner and wasn't seeing anything.
- Is there anything else I should do to double check that the shaft is the problem?
