Tranny Problems HELP
yeah, so i just got a call from the shop im getting my swap done at, and they told me that my (lower?) tranny casing is jacked up. they told me that one of the major mount points is totally fucked. something about where the y-bracket goes.
so..... i dunno what to do. he told me to order the new case, it will be 360 bucks, and the labor for taking apart the old tranny and putting it in the new case will be 180 bucks... but then if the bolt is fucked, i have no idea if the tranny internals are in good shape either...... should i just do this? or look for a new tranny altogether?
another buddy of mine told me that i should be able to find the casing at a junkyard for much cheaper. im assuming that the casing will have to come off of at the least a B-series tranny (correct me if im wrong). so im guessing it would be pretty difficult to find a b-series car at my local junkyard to buy this casing off of.

Re: Tranny Problems HELP (egamjah)
if you paying $500 or more u better off buying another used one
$180 to put a new casing on is way too much for a 30min job or less

Re: Tranny Problems HELP (e jay one)
its a 94 JDM GSR tranny (Non LSD), the fucked up bolt the guy mentioned, but said it should be fine because theres several otehr bolts. so i didnt think it would be that big of a deal. my friend who has done a couple swaps was with me too, and he said it would be fine. but the guy at the shop tells me otherwise.
