I am pretty sure I have the TO or IS bearing problem with my del sol. Has anyone had this done in a shop before, and how much did they charge?

 

i have, i didnt have only the input shaft bearing replaced, i think i paid about 750 but that was to ahve all the bearings replaced. i woulda done it myself but im a college student leasing an apartment so i dont have a garage

 

so just for the bearings it ran you 750?

 

i just ripped apart a dx tranny to replace the IS bearing. I actually thought it was alot easier then i expected. If you have the tools and time, do it yourself. Just when prying the bitch apart, take ur time as some things might come out. The helm manual helped me. Also, there is a c-clip in there i didnt know about... took me a while to figure that out.

And only use honda bearings. Trust me on this!!!

The hardest part is getting the forks back in the proper position. I needed an extra hand but i got it done and it works great.

 

it depends on which it is but it wouldnt be real cheap. transmission remove and install takes a little over 4 hours so depending on the shops labor rate you would be close to 400 dollars just in labor....maybe more.

i believe thats about right, but it also included the tow fee which was for about 40 miles(i was in the middle of nowhere) and that labor sounds about right. like i said, sux not having a garage cause im more than capable to do it myself.

 

it is not complicated to do yourself
the hardest part, in my opinion, is getting the trasnmission back in the car

 

im doing my clutch and replacing the TO bearing, but should replacing all the bearings be worked in since i have the tranny dropped?

 

id recommend it, since its out yuo might as well take care of it all at the same time to take care of all the problem children

 

like lets say i spend 700 for my TO bearing and clutch.... for the rest of the bearings and labor what would u say the additional costs would run me?

 

i got same problem and the shop wants me to pay 550 for changing tranny and labor and i have new oem exedy clutch kit to trow in.

 

i dont think it takes 4 hours unless they want it to

i got my clutch put in at a shop & it only took 30 minutes.

they didnt charge me any extra since they had the tranny out already so i couldnt really tell you.
