Ion

hey guys. My input shaft or its bearing have went out and I need to remove the transmission, but the Haynes Manual is vague, at best. Any techs on here capable of giving me a simple how-to?

Car is an 06 Ion 2.4L with the F23-M86 5-speed. Idk what I'm doing lol. I've never worked on a transmission before, but am too cheap to pay to have it done. WAY out of warranty btw.

So far I have the fuse box and PCM removed to make some working room. Cables are removed form both shifter and the transmission. I removed a plug on the driver side that looks similar to an ABS sensor plug (may not be).

I ordered a replacement transmission (tested) from a salvage yard for 230 bucks with 20k on it. Good deal imo. Mine feels locked into 2nd though the shifter is in neutral. I let off the clutch and it stalls and won't shift into any gear. The sooner I can get it back together, the less chance I'll get fired. lol.

Thanks guys (and girls).

Has the clutch ever been replaced?

Clutch is stock. Idk how to even check the clutch on these. Only clutch I've ever swapped was on my rwd Ranger 5 years ago.
