How much should a 5th gear syncro fix cost?
So, I live in an apartment complex so I can't do any major work on my FD on my own, so I'm forced to use a shop. I went to a RX7 specialist and got a quote for a 5th gear syncro fix, but it seemed a little high. I was hoping some people out there who had a shop do their work would be willing to share how much they spent on their transmissions. Thanks.

There's got to be someone that can offer you a helping hand. |
A total guess....
You have to remove and replace the transmission, 6 to 8 labor hrs at ~ $85 per, Fix the synchro, ~ 1. 5 labor hrs at ~ $85 per. Parts, ~ $120. Fluids, ~$50 While your in there, and if the car has any miles on it at all, you could also consider: *New throw-out bearing *Rear transmission seal *Replace/repack pilot bearing *Resurface pressure plate *Re-torque engine tension bolts (while pressure plate is removed) *Replace clutch fork |
That's interesting. I'd think it would be quicker to just place the transmission as opposed to getting in there to replace the syncro.

There's a chance the replacement will have the same problem or develop it.
Better to just fix it so you won't have to worry about it. Rotary >Pistons |
Thought did cross my mind as well

why replace clutch fork? are they prone to going bad on rx7's?
|
On the FD they've been known to fatique over time and fail/break. Especially with upgraded (stiffer) pressure plates. I just put it out there. It's certainly not mandated. But it would suck to pull the tranny a second time just for that...and I don't think they're all that much.

Probably a good idea with 120k on the car
