I'm fucked her up bad today everyone.... i'm driving down the highway today, i dropped it down to third to pass some slow *** truck full of cows and my ****** tranny felt like it exploded!!! i know for a fact she's finished... the car started bogging so bad, then when i finally came to a stop, she wouldnt move, it would rev up, and when i took the cluth out it would just kinda clunk really bad... so i just wanted to know What you guys recomend... RE-Build? or A good used tranny... its an 87 na Btw...

 

your better off going to a pick/pull joint and getting a good low milage transmission. I picked my tranny up for 50$ was sort of "afraid" to find out weather or not it was good. Got it installed no noise, tight shift ******* works great. And to think i was gunna spend $300+ to get her rebuilt.

Thanks Man, I'm totally gonna try that i think....

 

Its cheaper and easier to replace one than to rebuilt it or pay to have it rebuilt unless you can get an inside deal at a local tranny shop.

 

Well, not to scare you from buying a used tranny or anything but when I picked up a tranny for my TII it ended up making more noise and rattling more than my old tranny, works great though. Just a heads up.

If you have good luck with used trannies, more power to you. But with the youngest FCs being almost 13 years old, there's no such thing as a low mileage used tranny. I wouldn't want to have to replace trannies every 10K miles.

Don't be cheap. Go ahead and have it rebuilt. You can have it done for a reasonable price. There's a place about an hour from me in Winter Haven, that will rebuild a tranny for around $300, and it's mainly an RX-7 specific shop.

 

I only got about 10k miles on my last tranny... auto pos thing
