How much? range? or just buy new tranny. B/c id rather change mine instead b/c I have a hydro ls tranny and its hard to find. I want it over gsr trannys and stuff b.c i dont want to be on da freeway going 70mph and and reving over 3 grand with da gsr tran. ls tranny revs lower, saves gas!

you'd be better off getting a new/used tranny, hydro ls aren't that hard to come by, it's the cable ls tranny's that are hard to come by.

I have a 99' si and evey now and then it grinds into 2nd. Its only when im on it really hard but just shifting into second normally feels a little well, "sandy" for lack of a better term, but its only when its up to temp, when i just crank it, it doesnt do it

try changing your tranny fluid. use either honda mtf, or gm synchro mesh.

ya, i am looking to get my tranny fixed in my teg. Everytime i get to redline and shift it grinds. Is it that hard to rebuild it yourself? Or should i just be looking for a whole new tranny?

I AGREE! get the honda tranny fluid...I've known more than a few people that have had shifting issues, and when they change the oil to the honda stuff all of there problems were gone..

There is a cheap fix that works damn good. I tried it and WOW my pos ebay tranny that had ------- water in it now shifts like brand spankin new at any rpm. I got this tip from a veteran of the drag racing world. It involves a ton of work but cost next to nothing (your time thats about it) Here goes...

Completely dissasemble your tranny. Purchase new syncro rings and just the rings. You do not need syncros or hubs. Get yourself a small triangle shaped file and have a seat. Start to gently file the rounded edge "tips" of the syncros and hubs. Sure theres a shitload of work going over every tooth but basicaly you reshape them just a tad. Nothing too extreme just to bring back a somewhat point to the grooves. Re-assemble and fill her up with GM syncromesh. Do NOT get the friction modified ----. Trust me on this it works!!

kill yourself?

D sync's only go bad after everything else is trashed.

the gm syncro mesh works great but you have to get friction modified
