currently running an ls tranny on my gsr swapped eg. tranny recently started to pop out of 3rd gear.tranny is missing vin plate and has a stripped bolt on the mount.with that said i think i want a different case no matter what! but im not sure if i want to buy a new itr tranny from the dealer or if i want to buy a new case and source all the parts. jdm new is also an option i am considering with the higher final but that can always be upgraded later. i have considered used but we all know you can buy all sorts of "great condition" mistakes.

 

a whole trans from the dealer will be 1K upwards that's far from ideal the case is 550$ give or take new. most importers have a warranty/guarantee HMO is a good place to start they're legit.

 

$550? More than that. The clutch housing itself is $517 list. A complete, brand new ITR transmission, if you can even talk a dealership into selling one, will be in $2500+ range.

OP, transmissions are easy to rebuild if you can be methodical. Don't immediately jump to buying a replacement, and sure as hell don't jump straight to buying a brand new one.

 

The GSR or B16 tranny would be a huge upgrade alone. If you wanna spend the money on an ITR tranny, go ahead. Just keep in mind gear ratios. If you drive on the freeway a lot, and don't like turning higher RPM, DONT get an ITR or B16 tranny.

^^^ Meh, not really. A stock GSR tranny would be cheaper than a complete rebuild and perform better with his motor.

 

am I missing something here?

It is like having a brand new transmission at a fraction of the dealer price, how would a "stock" transmission "perform" better?
