hopfully not


i was told by a tranny shop that my rebuild should be 'around one thousand' but that included pulling and replacing the tranny which had to have been 200+ alone

1000.00 dollars just to see it **** up again,they are one of the worst trannys ever made.

Around $1,000 seems legit.

And where do you find rebuild engines for under $1k?

rx7world.com has brand new ones for around 800 i belive, and rebuild kits for 175 (bearings and syncros)

There was just a post about this. Rob rebuilds transmissions and has a few race application mods he can do.

wow! thats a great site, everything is soo cheap!
$595.43 for a rebuilt tranny, and when you send in your old one it is a $300 core credit
**** $295 for a rebuilt tranny,
$1000 is way way off
and yeah the site also has rebuilt engines for about $1100.

i wish i had more money to spend freely,
so im probably going to rebuild it myself, for $175.

thanks a bunch Alex6969!

More than likely its $595.43 AFTER the core credit.

you think?? add the shipping quote and it will be real close

you better go back and read it again..
if they were 295 after being rebuilt...id buy 10of them and re-sell them for double that!

you ever done this before??

rotorpower27

come on punch me a little harder, jezzz.

this is what the wbsite says

"We have Rebuilt Transmissions for your RX7, Just let us know what year you need, and we can ship a fully rebuilt transmission to your door. We disassembly the transmission and replace the bearing, synco's and anything else that needs to be. Warranty is for 12 month from date of purchase. the price is right plus a $300.00 core charge that would be refunded when the core is sent back. Give us a call with any questions."

you tell me???

i belive i could rebuild my tranny. as i am planning on rebuilding my motor some day.

it says that you give them the asking price and the $300...and when they get your tranny...you get the $300 back...so that means that you gotta ship YOUR tranny to them and pay for the tranny to come to you also...this is gonna be close to the 1K mark...

if you could rebuild it yourself then great!!! by all means do it!!
i just hope you have some knowledge, a good manual and paitence....
or maybe a friend that knows what they are doing..

no punches thrown, i just dont want you to get excited by the prices being thrown around in here...they sound cheap but you have to remember the little things that add up...AKA...shipping...plus the know how on rebuilding trannies...


good luck..

How hard is it to replace the synchros as opposed to swapping the transmission? I've had bad experiences with buying used trannies and I'd rather just fix the one I've got...

The most difficult part is remembering how to put it back together. I've never looked but apparently there are alot of small bits and pieces.

though i have never undertaken a rebuild of an rx7 trans, i have rebuilt 6 or 7 toyota transmissions and a couple honda trans axels...


i am a firm believer that a trans rebuild tend to be harder than an engine rebuild.

smaller parts, esp. detents... they can be a pain in the *** to track down if thy roll off your bench... the best advicee i can give anyone who is gonna rebuild... make a lip for your bench, so parts dont roll off.

also, you will need a shop press, or access to one. shops will do it for you, but they tend to rape you for very little work.

im about to undertake my first mazda trans and rotary engine rebuilds hopefully next weekend. im really looking forward to rebuilding the engine(somthing new!!! no more pistons!) the trans, im not too excited about, they tend to be easy, but they can be a royal pain in the *** when you misplace somthing.

hey i was looking at the one website, pineappleracing.com, and they list a Jerico - Dog Box - 5 Speed - rail shift type, has anyone put in a straigt cut gear tranny?

anybody have some info on this, i would love to not use that third pedal!

In the list of parts under the diagrams of the FSM, there's 101 separate listings.

However, a lot of them are things like "Spring and *****". Obviously those are 2 separate things. Along with that, they're pointed to on the diagram in several different places.

Enjoy!

The last time I had mine done, I paid $600 Canadian at a reputable local transmission shop. This included replacement of the bearings, syncros, input and cluster shaft as well as the seals.
