i know most of our cars' transmission are wayy over due for an overhaul...who/where sells tranny rebuilt kits.....i know its probably easier just sending it to a shop and have them do the work....hey..what can i say..im a natural born grease monkey!..

 

im talkin bout new syncos and such...

 

come on....dont tell me u ppl out there dont need this......i can drive fine without it...but i dont wanna wear out the gear itself before its too late.....and yes...i can probably do double clutch/rev match/double hand stand with triple flip...but im lazy......so just gimme my rebuilt kit!!!

 

ive never seen one around on the internet... that might be something you have to get from mazda... and i hope you have messed with trannys before because the body shop i used to work at... well we tinkered with one and then decided that transmissions are the ONE thing on the car that we would all leave to the PROS

 

I'm in the early stages of rebuilding a spare NA tranny I have, I'm just making a parts list as I tear it down, and will go to my Mazda dealership for the unique stuff when needed...

This question HAS been asked before, and someone posted a link to a place that has rebuild kits (I don't think NA trannies were on there, but turbos might have been)...Do a search...

 

i found this....but not sure what i need...my friend worked for a transmission shop for a while...knows his ****..im sure with enough beer and chicken he'd help me out....

well i dont see n/a on there and those trannys are COMPLETELY different than the turbo trannys... like wayne said you might just have to make a parts list and go to mazda or see if you can buy what they do when they give a tranny tune up.. they might have a kit or something for their mechanics

the non-turbo is on there..check it out.....by "completely different" u mean.....??

 

Yeh, I think that was it. I just figured I'm going to replace a lot more than just rebuild kit type stuff, that's why I'm making a parts list as I'm going along. Once I get the list done, I'll compare it to their kit, and see how close it matches what I need...

 

i will wait for ur reply my good man.....i hope this comes out cheaper than the dealer...i knwo they'll want my first born for it

 

i mean the turbo trannys are completely different compared to the n/a trannys... im assuming the gearing is higher and i also know its more bulletproof... not sure about the actual specs but i know the insides are very different

 

the website did mention it was for a TURBO RX7 5 speed......i also found the website for the N/A tranny if any of you NA guys are interested...maybe we can do a group buy or something...hmm...theres a thought........well...i e-mailed the company asking if the kit is for a t2....so we'll see if its a mistake or not...i also requested alist of the parts thats in the MRK...so we'll have to wait and see

 

in that first link you put up it said the information was provided for these cars... and the only rx7 one on there is the turbo... see what they say and hopefully its for the n/a ones

 

how you doin torean, i'm looking forward to hear the result from the email u sent at the company...i've always want to do a tranny rebuil also... i heard hks does customs, i even saw one from ebay a while ago for our fc t2's...

 

I would try to call Mazdatrix. (www.mazdatrix.com) I don't know if they sell rebuild kits, but if they don't I'm sure they will point you in the right direction.

 

Rebuild kits are available for both transmissions.Once you pull the tranny apart you might as well get it magna fluxed,shot peened, and gears deburred so the tranny can be bullet proof compared to stock.Just my 2 cents.

 

Um, guys, I looked into this whole escapade with the dealership. For a synchro ring set and rebuild gaskets and bearings, it was $512 or so. A little high, but I am used to straight cut non-synchroed hewland tranny's (wish I could get one on my car)

 

yes...i'd like that too.....but sadly....the pocket wont allow such a drastic project....i think the stock tranny is good for something like 500ish HP...and since i wont be getting anywhere near there...im just gonna replace the parts that gets worn down....well...maybe if we find a good deal on a group buy on cryo treatment or something...but i doubt that'll happen

ohh yeah...daily update...no word from the company

 

I'm not aware of a "rebuild kit" available from Mazda, but most times parts replacement are necessitated after a teardown inspection.

hey guys, i'm totally new to the mazda/rx-7 scene, and i'm originally a subie guy ^^;; looking to buy a fc though.
anyways, for the subaru impreza, there's a place in the bay area that would take a stock tranny and take it apart and put in the type ra (sti) gear set and stuff into the tranny casing. that was running for almost half price compared to buying a new sti 6-speed transmission.
is there an option like that for the rx-7?
the subarus are known for having a "glass transmission" for the rs and wrx trims,
but the sti trims have the flagship transmission, and in japan, there's the 5 speed tranny, so the shop would buy the gearset from subaru of japan, and install them inhouse.
thought it might be an option

hmm....rx7 is mazda's flagship...so i assume the best of what they offer goes in the rx7 to begin with.especially for the T2....these cars arent known for a weak transmission..its just with age the syncos gets worn out and needs to be replaced.....

 

No.
The FC turbo and FD already uses the "R-type" heavy duty transmission, and this is the strongest manual trans Mazda made in those years.

ok heres an update for the tranny rebuilt kit...

"For you 1988 rx7 turbo 5 speed transmission rebuild kit suggest you order part number K100215, this kit fits the transmission ;that uses a bottom pan. This kit includes all major bearings, gaskets and seals, your cost is $167.87 plus the freight. Order on line at http://www.drivetrain.com/order.html. Or give Shep a call toll free 1-800-216-1632 he can help you.."

hmm..doesnt seem like the kit contains the syncros...i'll give them a call and see if they can be added into the price......i'll keep everyone updated

 

update....

"The syncro ring kit for the 5 speed in part umber ASK212A your cost
is $54.64 plus the S&H."


is it just me or does this deal seem too good to be true?....what other parts would i need besides the syncro ring kit and bearings/gaskets/seals?....parts are only ~250??......

 

Those are not Mazda part numbers.
Those sound like their own part numbers and not official Mazda part numbers.
