Lol that's the only thing that's kept me from ripping mine apart. I've done a few old-school VW and porsche tranny's, maybe I'll give mine a shot after I find another decent S1 or YS1.

Ive pmed you before about it but I'll probably be sending you a gsr tranny for an obx lsd install sometime soon.

I just walked a buddy thru a tranny, he'd never opened one before.

stop and ask questions before you mess it up.

he had the input shaft bearing thrust washer backwards alng with the reverse idler gear.

Bone, how picky are you with bearings? do you always replace them?

Re: how much for the average b-series tranny rebuild?
 

ALWAYS replace the ISB when I'm working on someone else's tranny.

The rest I inspect, all TWELVE of them.

Depends on the condition of the tranny when I open it. Nice and clean, typical amount of metal syrup on the magnetics, I just replace the ISB and seal then seal it back up.

If it's been burnt from running low on fluid, or wrong fluid like gear oil, I've been known to junk a tranny because it's not worth fixing.

LSD install for example, your replacing three of the seven large bearings.

Or just replace them all.. and check synchro's and if they MIGHT maybe, be not so good.. replace those too.. oh, and dont forget to add that OBX. ;)



Bone is the man! I hope my trans isnt as shitty as I think it probably is.

Raley, then yours, sorry for the delay but my hand was messed up........still weak but I'm getting bored.

Re: how much for the average b-series tranny rebuild?
 

Could you not find another trans at a junker, take it apart and get the gears out of it and then swap them into yours? You'd also have some spare parts just in case something else happens again? Could be a route to go.

Thanks for the reply. You need to organize a tranny re-building seminar. ;D

Re: how much for the average b-series tranny rebuild?
 

I tried at a Niagra CRX meet. The guy bringing the tranny flaked out, everyone was pissed.

Didn't matter to me, left more time to drink beer!
