I got a z6 tranny and apparently 1st gear has issues in it and maybe 4th, so I was thinking about swapping gears in from my dx tranny since the gears are identical in both of those as far as I have found, but I kinda need some info on tearing up the transmissions before I do. Any info would be awesome.

its hard


buy a helms they dont lie



Building trans is perhaps one of the complex things in bulding cars



good luck

thanks. I know a friends who does it, but he mostly just knows the final drive part and nothing else. I may just try and see where it leads. worst case I still have another DX trans that I can use.

EXPLAIN the issues first.

eg_project

I am just told it makes noises in first gear consistently while driving. I just bought it this way so I am not 100% sure on its issues.

Input shaft bearing, common failure point when fluid level not kept up to correct level.

$35 in parts.....

If trans is out of the car, grab the shaft and wiggle it, if it wiggles it gets replaced!

eg_project

can I steal it from another trans and also is there any other parts I should check/swap while I am at it?

rexsk8er

remember the counter shaft is reverse threaded.... and to pull the case theres a clip on the inside of the tranny that you have tou take out somehow...


i dont remember becaues i looked up for my tranny(d16a1) thinking its the same but there different so i didnt read in full depth...

Bone1

don't be a cheap ***, buy a new bearing and seal and FIX the problem.

Spec out the shifter forks while at it.

Also the dumpshit in the post above, must be smoking crack thinking a CS is reverse threaded.

You don't remember because you were to ------- STONED to know!

building a transmission really isnt that hard....have you ever taken one apart b4? either auto or manual?...i think personally i would wrather tear up an auto just because i know them a little better....but manual isnt hard....if you ---- it up youll know pretty quick for the most part hah
