my friend has a LS tranny with no grinds, and wants to trade me his LS tranny for my GSR, which grinds 3rd...on top of that, he'll give me some cash...

my setup for now will be a stock LS turbo in a 92 hatch...should I make the trade? will I be loosing out with the LS tranny?

 

hey man that tranny of urs, thast grinding, did same thing to mine. After 2 weeks, 3 and 5th popped out of gear. Last week, my tranny went out. As far as trade do it. As far as speed and such iono.

 

Put some GM syncromesh tranny fluid in your tranny. Run it for few hundred miles. Pretty much stopped my grinding in 3rd.

 

yea stops grinding but never know. Last time my friend put tranny fluid in his honda tranny..the 3 4 5 gears burned and melted. woohooo

 

I would keep the GS-R trans. Put a new 3rd synchro in it and call it a day. The LS trans is a dog.

it makes for a much better street tranny.
maybe a LITTLE slower in the 1/4...but who ******* cares????

Not everybody enjoys 160mph on public roads

 

everyone does

but, you dont' have to go that fast...

 

Get the GSR fixed!

 

I wouldnt trade it away. Cable GSR trannies are rare as ****!! They are almost gold. Tear it apart and rebuild it.

try like $200+ for the 3rd and 4th syncro set, THEN labor.

I got a 96 gsr tranny with lil over 35k, it wont go into gear so i dont know whats wrong with it. I will let it go for 200 + shipping whoever wants it. Get it out

That is just my opinion. The synchro is around $150 and who needs to pay labor. Do it yourself. I just did mine. Took me about an hour after the tranny was opened up. I would much rather do this than be permanately stuck with the LS gearing.

Id rather pay $200 and rebuild a tranny then pay $800 for a used tranny and hope it works. At least with the $200+labor you know your going to get a working tranny back with good syncros.

Also, $200 is cheap! Back when my car was new (i have a 93 SI so we are talking years ago) i bought it new with a 10 year/100,000 mile warrenty. At 98,000 miles it was grinding 2nd really bad and started to grind in 3rd. I took it back to the honda dealer and they rebuilt the tranny for me...free. I figured i might as well replace the clutch at the same time (it was orginal) and the total was like $2400 . I only paid for the clutch which was something like $200.

So go for the $200 rebuild! Keep your GSR tranny, LS trannys are dogs.

but you can stay in boost longer with the LS...buwahahahaha!

i do well not on public roads

 

Yea, rebuilding is the best idea if you only have to replace like 1 gear, but most places will charge you $150 just to open the tranny. So unless you can do it your self it can get expensive fast.

 

talk to ht member "NOT SO CIVIC" tell him that Al sent you he can fix your problems quickly and either trade trannies or work something out for you pm him I will let him know.
