I've got a 99 Si hydro tranny that I'm about to install. I was wondering if there was anything I can do to check the condition of the tranny while its out of the car. I'm hoping to find any problems before I spend the time installing this thing.

 

Fill it up with tranny fluid, check for cracks/leaks on the case.

really you can't check the transmission without tracking the casing off and inspecting the gears/synchro's

your best bet is to just put in some new tranny fluid and hope you got a good tranny from a reputable person

 

Cracking the case is no problem, the tranny is on the ground. How can I tell if the syncros and good and nothing is bent/worn out?
Thanks, guys

 

Nobody knows? Can anyone please help?

 

when you crack it look at all the gears for chips or score marks on them also inspect the brass colred rings{dogteeth} make sure there still in good condition also check the side rings that go into dogteeth should be diamond shaped
