1993 Plymouth Laser Turbo manual transmission - tires turning the same way.

Year: 1993
Model: Plymouth Laser Turbo
Engine: 2.0
Mileage: 168,000
When I turn, the differential isn't allowing the tires to turn correctly. Is there a common reason or cause for this, or does anyone have experience with this specific model? Do I just need a new tranny?

You're going to have to describe the issue in a little more detail than that.

sorry about that, its kinda hard to explain, so bare with me. i bought this car as a project car there for any conditions were unknown, long story short i replaced the engine and trans out of a junkyard, the car i got the motor and trans out of was wrecked in the side and rear the front was still in tact. i got the motor and trans installed and from the beginning i knew there was a problem with the steering, i replaced the axles first didnt help i then replaced the lower control arms ball joint and sway bar links still no difference i am able to drive the car but it pulls hard to the left and the tires chirp and jump around, kinda like a posse rear end would do in a sharp turn. so i took it to an alignment shop and they were able to align the steering for me, however, when i left the shop it was still doing the same, so they pulled it back in and lifted it up by the frame and checked the rack and pinion and it checked out to be be in good shape, they continued to trouble shoot for me, and the best they could come up with was the the differential was not allowing one side to slip while the other side was being turned, basically while turning one side the other side cannot be held back and both tires will turn in the same direction,

Are you sure it's not a limited slip differential because it sounds like chattering clutches.

i am not sure, the only thing i know about transmissions are how to replace them, but because these trans are hard to come by, if it were chattering clutches, is this repairable,

That would be easy. Just chage the gear oil and add a bottle of friction modifier that you can buy at any auto parts store.

that would be easy not my luck, but i will try it, thanks! one last thing i was unaware that Manuel trans had clutches other than the actual clutch disc, is it possible that something is broken inside and the car would still drive

Does it pull only when your accelerating?

I honestly never heard of a transaxle causing a steering pull. Torque steer usually only happens while accelerating or on deceleration. Usually what causes pulling is brake calipers hanging, alignment problem, or radial pull from tires.

Or maybe a limited slip with different size tires as suggested earlier.

Probably not, since it's a manual transmission.

It's really hard for us to give you an accurate prognosis. All we can do is ask you questions in hopes that you'll find something wrong. Someone is going to have to really inspect everything under there to see what the heck is going on.

Ok I changed the gear oil and added the friction modifier, it seems to be better but not completely was wondering if there is a certain amount of miles before the friction modifier does its thing or is it instantly all its gonna do

Yes, it could take a few miles. As said earlier, make the your tires match and your brakes aren't dragging.
