Got a box of trans parts from Mr. Crow at Malloy today. Should be a fun month for me trying to figure out what goes where. Good thing i have someone to help me out.

 

how much that kit set u back if u dont mind me asking, im gonna be heading down that rout my self here in a bit..lol. good ole' OEM 5th syncro....

 

I got the whole kit, berings, all the syncor's, oil seals, snaprings. It was 504.97. I chose this over the JDM tranny, one because i wanted to do it myself and 2 i didn't want to get a jdm tanny then have to do work on it for some unforseen reason.

 

This should help keep your head from popping:

As for doing it yourself, that was my motivation. But make sure you get appropriate tools. And when you get it all apart, take the housings to a shop and have them run them in the parts washer overnight. Best $30 I've invested yet in doing a tranny.

Thanks for the FYI and the link. Didn't think of the parts washer. Should be a fun month why i slowly work through this. I'm still waiting on my clutch and flywheel, doing those at the same time.
