all I can say is dont bring it to AAMCO. they wanted to charge me a couple hundred just to crack open the tranny, and another 1100 to repair my synchros. I just bought a JDM b16 instead Why not just spend the extra cash, and buy a good JDM ITR tranny? Dual cone synchros are much beefier and all the good stuff about ITR trannies.

I got one for sale too

I don't think I can do my own tranny replacement

and I don't really want to cash out too much

what kind of options do I have? I enjoy the long gearing when I drive on freeways. itr's lsd tranny is way out of my budget. so I am probably stuck with the ls tranny, either replace the old one or get the syncro (I think that's the source of problem) fixed

300 bucks, is that for repairing the syncro or replace? does that include labor? thanks

your probably better off buying a slightly used LS tranny ($500-800) rather than bringing it to someone and then getting raped for labor and parts... IMO

i did my own set of gears in my car...its really not that hard, you just need an oem manual and remember where all the little pieces go...i actually forgot a piece in mine, but it runs fine, so im just gonna cross my fingers.

this is my only car, I love doing my work and all and if I fucked it up, it's going to cost me a lot of time and probab;y end up losign alot of money so I am more inclinded to take it to the shop unless I can find someone who has removed their tranny before, locally
