Hey guys, long time no talk. Got a question for you all. I got the Rex up and driving about a week ago with the new build. Been running like a champ with no issues. Today my tranny decided to get stuck in 3rd gear... I can move the stick around but can't get it out of gear or change gears. Going to jack it up when I get the chance and take a look at the shift linkage. Any thoughts on this? Just seams so odd. Anything helps, thanks guys.

Sound like the shift selector for is bent my friend.. causing it to be stuck in that gear.. the only way to fix it would be to drop the tranny and replace the fork with doesn't cost very much! my buddy brain can replace it for you and at an adorable price! he's the one building the tranny for my 4dr hit him up! 206-898-8454

Thanks man! I might just have to give him a call in the next few weeks. Waiting for my friend to get back from leave to give me an extra hand dropping it. I've been saving up for the turbo build but might just need to drop the cash on a tranny rebuild. I'm tired of getting old beat up trannies. Would like to get a LSD installed as well.

Yeah man give him a shout! Tell him that I sent you his direction! He’s a real knowledgeable guy and knows his way around a Honda Transmission. He can even install the diff and shim it properly so you have proper clearances and such. a lot of people think its just a bolt in affair and its not! it needs to be clearance properly or your just going to **** up your diff and your transmission up!

Going to order my mfactory helical LSD and synchro tech carbon master rebuild kit today. Once all parts come in ill give him a call. Does he work out of a shop or just a knowledgeable guy you know? Fair prices?

H22AFerio

Nice dude! Nope no shop, he works from home! Well educated, very knowledgeable and very affordable prices! real badass dude that stands behind everything he does Let him know I sent you man

Track Forged put their shop car into the wall at 120mph, The driverside slick blew out and because they were running a spool that only means one thing... 100% of the power shifted to the passanger tire and slammed them into the wall!

Is the final drive on the transmission the shaft that all the gears slide onto? I have a old blown si tranny in my garage and I think I still have the final drive in it (my brother took some gears from it so I'm not sure). Apparently that is the only difference between the dx/si pl3 tranny and it would be cool if I could just swap that over for the better gear ratios during the rebuild. Also does anyone know if there is a benefit of running 40mm vs 35mm bearings. I still have the si case that uses the 40 and my dx 35 and could just swap dx internals to the si case and use the 40mm.

H22AFerio

Th final drive is what bolts on to your diff! as for being interchangeable I really don't know... Brian will know quite a bit about all that lol

Alright cool, I just wanted to figure out what my plan was before I called him. I'll have to give him a call though so I know to order 35 or 40mm. I'm wanting to swap everything over to the si case with that final drive and the 40mm bearings (from what I've read there stronger) I'll just give him a call. I'm sure he has all the answers

H22AFerio

Sounds like a plan my friend

I talked to him yesterday and got a quote for the full rebuild and LSD install. I'm pretty stoked to get it all done and back in the Rex. Going to drop the tranny this weekend.

H22AFerio

Yeah your gonna love it man! he is great at what he does! he built the tranny in Jared's CRX that just set the new D Series world record for the fastest time on small tires!

H22AFerio

Im gonna go pick up my tranny this weekend! its all done and puuuury

Looks good man! I'm dropping my tranny off on Friday, so excited. Can't wait to get it finished and back in the car. Is your car ready to go once you throw the tranny back in?

H22AFerio

nice man! I should be heading up either Friday or Saturday to pick mine up! no no no! lol my engine is still up at Speedfactory being assembled.. they have a huge work load so a long wait is to be expected! I just have to ship my head off to the machine shop to get a valve job, assembly the head and then slap the head and the engine together and we are back in business!

Picked my tranny up last Friday. Just waiting for a new throw out bearing spring to come in the mail from Honda, trying to get it thrown back on this weekend. Just did Mfactory LSD, synchrotech carbon synchros, new bearings and 4.25 final drive.
