tranny swap opinions?
 

Ok. My car is nice and boosted. I just ordered a clutch from Mike (6 puck sprung) I figured my tranny is a CX tranny and it has close to 200k on it so I might as well change it when I do the clutch so I called around. The bone yard I bought my motor from has a Y8 tranny with 100k on it for $350. I figure this is reasonable. Every other place in my area wants $500 and up. So do you guys think this is reasonable? I emailed Mike to make sure the clutch is the same regardless, I pretty sure it is. Let me know your thoughts.

yeah look around some more. Go get a 92-95 si tranny and drop it in there. If you gonna spend 300 bucks at least spend it on that.

Y8 trannies are better than the Z6 trannies. I got mine for $175, look around.

damn 350, i just sold 1 yesterday for 50 buxx

Re:tranny swap opinions?
 

It seems cheap for around here. I got prices up to $650. I also would rather have the Y8 tranny. Steel shift forks. This place is very reputable and will warranty the tranny and guarantee it's good. I would pay more for good customer service and a warranty. I guess I'm buying it anyway but thanks for the help.

Ouch, nothing like a dry ---- in the ass. :-X

oh yeah I forgot about shift forks n ----. Sorry I'm not up to par with the hydro trannys, I'm still stuck on cable. :-\

Re:tranny swap opinions?
 

i've bought two...one for 100 and one for 150. the 100 one has bad second/third syncros and the 150 one is good, i think. i'm going to crack them apart to check and build one with all the good parts from the 2. check the classifieds here, honda-tech, importlounge, importatlanta, etc. if you're patient you can get a whole swap for less than whay you've been quoted.

Re:tranny swap opinions?
 

Problem is that I need it as soon as my new clutch gets here. If I do find one cheap on a board, shipping is a factor and so is condition. I may buy one and find it a piece of ---- or have a bad gear. If this is the cae I can just bring this one back. It makes sense to look around but I called all over CT and Mass and no one has ---- accept for Z6 trannies and they want 300+ for those. I hope at least I get a hug after!

Just went on www.car-part.com found a few cheaper but they are in AZ or west coast. The shipping would eat the difference and it would hard to return if defective. Guess I'm fucked.

If you pay that much for any d-series tranny I will fly to where ever you live and kick you in the ass. I got my Y8 tranny with less than 50k miles for $220 I think? The last Z6 tranny I got was for $40. Just search online forums and you can easily get a Y8 tranny in good condition for less than $300.
