Well after over 2 weeks of bad news, ****, and becoming poor, I finally got my R back today.

Bran new tranny in. Bushings soo tight, feels like driving a bran new R. I love it. and the US 4.4 FD isn't as bad as i thought it was gonna be. Maybe a little slower, but better on the highway.

Anyway, I glad to have the R backand wanted to thank everyone again for their help and comments!

 

new tranny =

what did they do with your old tranny?

 

its at the shop that put my new one on. I forgot to take it home today, but I will be keeping it I suppose for sentinmental reasons and VIN reasons. Its thrashed though....

Is there anything at all salvage-able inside of it?

thats a negative

 

what happened?

 

tranny blew up....... long story. But I had it coming. But hey I got it back, just got done like a 2 hour cruise where I live on some backroads. It felt soo good to be in the R again. The US FD accelerates slower but I still had alot of fun.

 

total cost?

around 2k....... i got screwed on labor for taking out my old one and putting in the new one because they claimed they had to take off my jdm 4-1 header, which I know is not true, but they did take it off because I saw it on the ground. O well. I got it back, money is on the side right now till i get that credit card bill haha

 

Glad to see you got your back. About the FD, with your car pushing 200+whp, was traction an issue with the 4.7 or with the 4.4. How do the two compare traction wise in first and second?

 

congrats on getting your car back and running

Since you have a brand new tranny that has ONLY been on your car, just swap the VIN plate from your old tranny to the new one.
