I have done some searching and not really come up with a definate answer as to what is recommended to do when rebuilding a gearbox.

I have a gearbox I want to rebuild before I put it in my car. I have heard of the following things:

1. Heat Treated Gears
2. Stronger Synchros
3. Shorter Gear Ratios
4. Final Drive Change
5. LSD Install

The gearbox code is an M2A4 and I have looked at the gear ratios thread (from the FAQ) but I am not sure what is going to be best for my H23/Vtec Turbo Motor.

I have a cusco LSD which I will get installed too. It has adjustable ratios, what is best for my application?

If you guys can offer any insight into what can/should be done to a gearbox while its out and getting it rebuilt, please post it here...

No one?

 

we call them transmissions / tranny one of our members is selling one of those from his parted out car. built tranny w/ LSD. I believe it's mgags7

 

whatever you do don't get lower ratios. You will just spin the wheels.

 

Yeah I'm from Brisbane QLD Australia and we call it a Gearbox here.

I'm not ready to get a whole tranny shipped to australia - I think that would cost $$$
