FoxyRoadster Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 First off, sorry no OIC's. I know you guys love the datto pr0ns as much as I do but been too snowy. I'm looking at a 4 door 510.. The rust free one fell out of my hands and was sold out west buuuut I found this one in a field.. Automatic but the transmission is *fucked* filled with RTV, engine is good and runs. I have zip experience with the automatic 510's, you guys think I should just replace the tranny or drain it and flush? Most likely will be the best 400 bucks ever spent, besides the 400 for my roadster. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 BUY IT Not hard converting these to 5 speeds, pretty easy! If anything else take the trans to a shop and have it rebuilt. You'd only be into it about 1400 with cost of purchase... Quote Link to comment
Wide14u Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 i would drain it flush see how long it last Quote Link to comment
FoxyRoadster Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I plan on getting it once the snow clears up. I plan on just cleaning the car up, not doing much to it besides installing some Work Equip Type 1's I have in 13". Quote Link to comment

Nah, the GF told me to keep them after the last deal fell through on what I wanted for them. lol I figured I'd end up with a car they would fit onto.. Man, I just realized I'm buying a car for a set of wheels to go onto. :lol: Quote Link to comment

dennis Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Get it, a 510 out in this part of the world is getting harder and harder to find. I've been looking for a goon for 6 months (my next project). Quote Link to comment
FoxyRoadster Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Well little more info, I dont think the rtv in the trans is the issue. It doesn't go when in drive... So I might be in the market for an auto trans. I'll worry about diagnosing it when I buy it.. I'll go ahead and try draining the trans and putting a new filter in first. Then if that fails then replace the bitch. Quote Link to comment
