I have an ls s80 hydro tranny i was wondering would it be worth it to get my tranny rebuilt
Or go lsd? I was quoted 1200 to rebuild it parts included if i went lsd is there anything else i need to get aswell? Im asking your opinion cuz i hear of guys buying used trannys and they are just as fucked as there previous tranny. Thanks guys

 

A guy messaged me and said he could sell me a LS tranny for 350 he said his mechanic opened it up and said it looked healthy the guy claimed he never beat on it. Kind of in a bind cuz if i buy it and it needs rebuilding then i might aswell of rebuilt my own any input of what i should do i dont wanna buy the tranny and have my mechamic say i bought a scrap tranny. What should i be looking for specifically if i go check out the tranny? Thanks again

 

worn synchros, sliders, hubs, gears, isb, sca, and anything else that moves.

post some pictures up of the parts.

 

I was in the same boat as you and i choose to rebuild because when you buy a used tranny your buying a "USED" tranny.. You might get lucky but you never know. Again thats just my opinion.. Good luck with whatever you choose..

 

Ya **** used **** im going rebuild to much bs in the end i might aswell put 300 bucks towards my own rebuild. What did you pay for a rebuild im gettin like 1200-1500 $ quotes im in canada

 

To do ALL sleeves/hubs/synchros, some/all bearings and seals, as well as maybe a shift fork or something if needed, $1000+ sounds about right. Once rebuilt, be sure to take care of it so you don't need to drop that coin again. :p

I would make 100% absolute sure you want to put that money into an LS trans before you go and do it though.

 

I'll be at the upper end of that ballpark price when its all said and done but i also got the m factory final drive..
