I got my trans back friday. When i first got it it didn't want to shift at all. I guess during shipping they like to lock up for some reason.

I started taking it apart and i put it back togheter and it worked just fine.

Spent about 1.5 hours getting it bolted all back in and everything. Went to start the car.... Wouldn't start.

I knew the reason but couldn't figure out how to fix the problem. Finally at 2:30am this morning i got it to start and took it for a drive in the snow :blah:

It seems to be running good. Not having a dampener box and a steel braided clutch line makes a huge difference when shifting.

Pix in a few hours, i gotta put everything back in the car


Some things to note for anyone doing a swap.

You can use the auto tranny mount

You only need the reverse, and speed sensor.

You need to loop the bottom connector by the car battery, not the top.

If i think of any more i'll let u know.

 

congrats on getting it running again

 

thanks, when i took the tranny apart i found a spring on the floor. I believe that its on the the springs that hold the shift forks steady. My 2nd gear comes out of gear if i dont hold it for a while. Think thats the problem.

 

so if ya dont mind, you wanna tally up the cost, because i plan on doin the swap to, just wanna get a estimate, i cant help with the second gear thing, im not a tranny guy lol, good luck tho.

 

About $700

Thats with new;
cluctch
p. plate
shift boot
shift ****
tranny mount
steel braided clutch line

and everything else used.

 

Here are some pix. It came out actually really clean.

Car is still a little dirty.


Cut the stock brake, thats why it looks a little angled.



I passed emissions today and i did not think i would. After my aftermarket intake i blocked off all my emmsions. Everyone said i wouldn't pass.

 

nice work... now lets all plan on meeting up when it gets nicer out. my car will be done mid april long way away but its well worth the wait

Jay

 

for sure, i still have ur number. When have to get a huge 240 meet goin this summer. May be i'll be ka-t by then

 

looks like a clean install

 

hmm thats not as much as I thaught it would be. Well right now im workin on a S15 conversion, because I got a wrecked 95 SE, that needed a front, so I decided what a better time then now. Just orded the headlights sunday. Had to get some part of the conversion that way I would stick with it lol.
