Transmission rebuild
Well it's finally happened, seeing as I learned to drive a stick with my rx-7, the abuse the tranny took has caught up with it and I need to rebuilt the tranny because the synchros are worn out. She grinds like a b*tch if I don't match the revs going into 2nd and 3rd and others if I shift real fast. Does anybody know where to pickup a rebuild kit for an '85 gsl-se?

in all actuality it would probably be cheaper to pick up a used transmission than to rebuild one. Rebuilt trannies always have problems anyway, they never work like the original did. Go see if you can find one out of a junk yard.

I got a good GSL-SE tranny for $150 + shipping. It was removed from my car since I upgraded to a T2 tranny. It was working perfect when I removed it.
You will however need to install your existing shifter control box onto it. It's a pretty easy job to re-attach the shifter box. Much easier than rebuilding a tranny yourself.
PM me if you're interested.

Resurrecting my old post because I actually have a bit of money to pursue fixing the trans now. Anybody know where to get parts or selling a known good one for my 85 GSL-SE?
