i want to buy a ballin REBUILT s5 TII transmission.... is there anyone that sells them? or would i have to just take a junk one to a transmission shop?

 

What do you mean by "ballin"

 

by "ballin" i mean:

i'm not gonna take the cheap way out and just buy another used TII tranny.

 

well last i checked, most inanimate objects aren't very good at basketball, so i don't think you'll find a ballin' tranny anywhere. unless you mean tranny as in...

 

transmissions can actually play basketball with the best of them.

 

oh i forgot the '74 celtics. the all inanimate objects team. Sony "Now with color!" TV made some amazing dunks late into 3rd quarter of game 3. now that was a team.

 

and to answer your question, i don't really know. if it was me, i'd prolly just buy a junk one and spend the next month rebuilding it. i know you can buy a new one from like... hks i think.

 

there are wayyyy too many parts inside a tranny for me to even think about rebuilding it right now. im scared!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

auto or manual? cuz if its auto... good luck. manual... just take your time and its not that hard. its mostly common sense.

Here ya go

i'll be rebuilding one for a forum member this coming week i may do a documentary for you guys but that depends on my schedule and how pressed for time i am while doing it.



if you are interested it would be around ~$1k to do an overhaul but that may change depending on what kind of gremlins i find in these trannies...

an n/a tranny would be about $100 or so cheaper to overhaul as the T2 synchros run about $230!

 

all my bearings are fine, the tranny only has about 65k miles on it. just needs new syncros (particularly 2nd and 5th)

 

Do it yourself you damn wimp.

 

What the hell have you been doing to it!? My N/A tranny has almost 160k on it and is still doing fine! 7k rpm clutch drops at the dragstrip, 7500-7800 rpm shifts, beating on it, etc.

 

too many parts. jaker scared.

 

****, I doubt even felixwankel88 would be this much of a wimp.

 

well unless you want to know how to open up and play with a british 4-speed or lawnmowers- i'm not the guy to ask. i plan on rebuilding my TII tranny when i get mine but that probably won't be for a while. but i'll be sure to take pics and do a write up for you then .

oh
i was gonna be an *** and just send you here: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/transmission5.htm

but i got distracted by this: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/quasiturbine.htm
^^ that's like rotaries on 'roids. i want one! i can only imagine the power delivery of something like that.

 

Yes, Quasiturbine engines are sexy.

 

yes, very. i just don't understand how they can have wheels in an internal combustion engine, but other than that, it's quite sexy and i can only imagine what kinda specs one would put out.

 

i found this a while back...post #111. it seems like it would be worthwhile to check it out.

 

that guy cant downshift for ****.

 

Why not simply find a reputable tranny shop in your area that has experience with custom cars?

 

whoops, i forgot to copy the link over...

I have one rebuilt by a shop in arizona, cost like $1500 but they did everything. Its never been ran and is still clean and in perfect shape. Went into a TII conversion that never ran.
