How hard is it to rebuild a gsr tranny with helms?

 

not hard at all.

 

Where do you get a rebuild kit? how much is it? any machining required?

 

piece of cake with a Helms. its tougher to get it out of the car!

 

There isn't much to rebuild. What's wrong with it? grinds a certain gear? noise? leaks? replace what is wrong an' keep truckin.

 

is it easier than rebuilding an engine? thanks!

 

It's not bad at all
I did mine last summer after a few synchros died....

 

check ouy my recent topics and see what you think is wrong with it.-thanks

 

did u have to take anything to the machine shop or anything? i want to redo mine. btw, is there a rebuild kit? thank you.

 

you can't machine anything thats just worn out, you need more metal, not less

there is no rebuild kit, i asked at the dealer

i bought a tranny from a 97 gsr that had a cracked housing, it only had 25000 miles on it at the time, so it wasn't too bad for 300

to get any synchros from the dealer, they're pretty expensive, well over 100 each

then i just did a bunch of part swapping and i had a brand new tranny

btw, my gears still looked like new after about 162000 miles at the time

 

Thats great to hear. I was almost gonna take my tranny to a shop. Helms doesn't make a manual for mitsu right? Are the manuals at the mitsu dealership gonna be as easy as a helms? Don't worry i'm selling the dsm
