I just have a question from everyone who ordered lsd from hmo, are u grinding gears or anything else that shouldnt be occurring from a 30k mile engine and tranny?

I'm just wondering because pretty recently I've been grinding 4th and 2nd, but maybe i just didnt have the clutch in all the way or something....and i know i need a new clutch and i forgot to put a new flywheel in when doing the swap =/

 

My LSD tranny was **** when I ordered my swap from there, popped out of third gear constantly and then in less than a year I lost 3rd completely, it would not go in at all, although it worked for awhile even though it ground. 4th was also almost toast too when I replaced the transmission and second would grind occasionally, fifth too. I didn't really beat on it either, it was that bad when I got it. The tranny that comes attached to a first gen B16a is also unrebuildable.

 

y are they unrebuildable? im pretty sure most parts fom 90-91 cable ls trannys are the same.

They are rebuildable but the parts aren't available here in the USA. Steve at HMO can definitely order the parts if you need them. Don't say they are "unrebuildable" when they most definitely are.

 

regardless of what company you bought your used parts from, you don't always know what type of abuse a used part goes through. and a less-mileage used part could have been abused worse than a high-mileage used part.

aside from that, HMO does have a reputation for having quite tha better used parts and is usually good about customer satisfaction.

ps: i'm wanting to pick up an LSD tranny from Steve, and i'm hoping that tha previous driver (whoever that may be) didn't do a bad number on it.

 

Even though its from HMO they are a good company i have order 3 motors from them and no problems with things like transmissons you never know you cant do a compression test and leakdown to see how the working order is my first swap i got was b16 obd 0 with tranny and like two months later 3rd was dead cant call and blame steve its the one in japan that ran the **** out of it on my last motor it had a momo oil filter on it so i knew somebody was running that motor.

 

so he can order gear sets and shift forks for sir cable trannys? i know none of the parts are available here

 

you can get gearspeed gear sets and synchros for it. It's not that expensive either.

Actually you can get them...adleast I can. All you need to do is find a dealership that is willing to deal with honda Japan.

 

when i got my swap from there my tranny would grind third like a champ, But the motor ran very good.

 

The gears can be obtained....just a PITA sometimes. We used to stock S-1 parts all the time. We don't now...It takes about 1-2 months lead time to get them. I just recieved some new parts booklets from Overseas...som hopefully by the summer I will have some more trans parts to help you guys out!

They are not unreliable when remanufactured...Had mine for four years(daily driven, drag, and road raced)...No problems...

 

are these cable lsd trannies. I talke to steve all the time and he always has hydro lsd's but never cables ones. I would just get the newer ones and do a hydro swap.
