some guy in town is selling his 96 ex motor/tranny and ecu for 300bucks. the tranny and motor both have 100k miles and are in great condition he says. Is it worth it to put that tranny on my 98 lx. WIll it hold up with a turbo?

 

i would say a good deal. you will need auto to man swap also

 

i am, is the tranny good at 100k miles

 

not bad, of course i'd do a rebuild first.

 

sounds like a fair price.

 

id go for it, just rebuild the tranny and take in the engine for a tune up.

good luck.

 

cool, so the tranny needs to be rebuilt? damm. So would it last long on my y7 w/the 19t greddy kit. tuned at 6psi daily driven.

 

My tranny is 164,000 miles young. It drives great, no grinds. Only problem i've had is the $20 input shaft bearing...i'd recommend replacing that just as a general maintenance thing...no need to rebuild a perfectly good tranny. I'd jump on that entire deal...people pay $200 alone for the tranny...so 300 for the whole swap is a STEAL! Do the whole EX swap then turbo

 

if the tranny is in good shape i wouldnt mess with it. just swap in the whole setup. sounds like a good deal to me

 

good deal jump on it.
