After my first transmission blew due to a hole getting knocked into, and spending 950 on a new transmission, i have yet another problem. I have a 99 si and i replaced the tranny with another s4c that has about 25k on it. One day im driving and some lady pushed me off the road, a look under my engine bay when i get home from school, and the top of the transmission mount in the front is shot. The whole top two bolts are gone. I went to go to the spot where i was pushed off the road and nothing is to be found. i was wondering what would be the best fix for this in my situation because i want this to get fixed before i do my swap. thanks for your help guys i really appreciate it.

you would probably have to bring it to a shop to get rethreaded

 

thats what i planned on doing but i was wondering how much people were paying to get it done.

 

has anybody else experienced this problem at all?

 

sorry for the big pic but i think its better to see it bigger because its small

I'm assuming you aren't getting a new tranny with your "swap."

Unfortunately, IMHO that transmission is toast. You could try and find a new case, and have the mainshaft and countershaft re-shimmed to work, but I wouldn't even bother. Structurally, that's a vital part of the tranny. I wouldn't feel safe having it welded over and then re-tapped.

 

i hate this shti, this transmission has 25k on it and now its toast because of a little ****** piece broke, that sucks, man i just dont know what to do

Um, you said you were forced off the road. Be glad its only the transmission that's fucked. Like I said you can try finding another case but you're going to have to have the shafts re-shimmed.

 

no i understand im just very frustrated and i appreciate your help.

 

get a new case and when you do your swap, switch the cover and reshim it

 

im not exactly asure by what you mean by reshimming it.

 

You can simply get the new housing (you only need the outer half) and replace it, measure the diff for the shim youll need and get that too, and your done. You can find ppl selling tranny cases pretty often, it would be silly to toss this tranny simply because of a external problem.

EDIT: im not so sure how you feel about doing work by yourself, if you did want to to it, buy the Helm manual. If you dont feel comfortable, im sure you can bring your parts to a shop in your area and have them to it, its really not a hard job (ive done it 2 times this week)

you have to shim the differential so it has a certain amount of movement.

 

alright im going to look for a new case, i really appreciate your guys help.

 

PM lilman213.

if your trans doesnt leak then just replace the top mount with a hasport

what?

don't listen to that guy...

just get a new transmission, but $950 is way too steep to be paying for one.

 

what? how many people run that mount anyway....im runnin a h2b with stock mounts and just insterts on the rear and it doesnt move at all
