B16 '99 SI tranny

what could have done this?
the casing has some pretty scary marks in it.
heat? crappy fluid? excessive power? floating metal bits?

The friction dampners (both of them) were dead and pieces were floating around everywhere.
Fluid was very black and both cv seals were ruined.

 

how were the mainshaft bearings??

 

bump for any help to willard for keepin it straight and building my tranny. Hopefully it will be ok, but any input is appreciated

 

doesnt look good. The bearing might be bad and look closely over all the gears.

 

 

do you do alot of racing?gear grinding?do you use tranny fluid?

 

i just bought this tranny, paid good money for it, was said to have 45k on it, and no grinds

 

Picture #2.......appears to be grinded, from engaging reverse. Looks like someone has been slamming gears in this one, inspect the gears and bearings and clean everything....you should be OK.

 

thanks, willard mentioned the reverse. As long as itll go in, thats good, I just hope the bearings are ok

 

Sounds like its time to regulate on the seller, OG style.

 

ouch...
the countershaft looks pretty bad!
Was the countershaft bearing locking up? This is the only thing that I can think of that could cause this... I would try and locate another countershaft from either an SI, or a GSR tranny... (they are the same part number.)
I think GSREV has a couple laying around, give him a PM.
That reverse gear is pretty normal, I wouldnt worry about it.

 

willard did a 4.7 final drive on it, so the contershaft is taken care of
