so right after I spend about $400 for parts for a whole new brake system my tranny craps out... Spoke with a couple people and stopped by import minded and the consensus is that the mainshaft bearing is smoked... looking at $1G to go through the tranny and rebuild, I cant afford that by any means...

I need an Si or Ex manual tranny for a 91 civic in the milwaukee area, i prefer boneyards as this is most likely gonna have to go on the plastic.... also If you know ppl that will swap the tranny for cheap, import minded wants $350 for the swap (more expensive than what the tranny is worth)...
Thanks for whatever/who ever you know!!

 

YA i went to import minded and looked into in how much it would be to rebulid my tranny cause my main shaft bearing went, they wanted about 700 to do it, so i went to ROZ'S auto salvage my uncles friend owns it, but anyways they have alot of honda parts there, thats where i got my crx si tranny for 150.00, so i dropped my old tranny and looked at it and messed with the shaft and it was hard to move the bearing back and forth, so i noticed that there wansnt no grease on the shaft so i greased the shaft and the bearing up with some lithium grease and it moved fine but i didn put it back in my car cause i wanted to see if the new tranny worked and it did so i gave my old tranny to a friend... I know how to drop the tranny with out taking the motor out on 88-91 civics and crxs, but it is a bitch to do and i dont think i wanna do it again but who knows
